Plot: Will Ford, a former FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader and U.S. war veteran, now holds a job assessing security for skyscrapers. During an assignment in China, he gets framed for a fire that has suddenly set the tallest, safest building in the world ablaze. Now not only does he have to clear his name and track the real culprits, he will also have to find a way to rescue his family who is trapped inside the burning building.
My Movie Review: The movie is full of suspense in scale of heights and family saving mission! Skyscraper is towering inferno in a bright city night cap makes for perfect summer blockbusters amid start on what's to come in sometimes predictable yet still enjoyable action outlandish fun:) Dwayne Johnson rocks in this motion feature as he'll make impossible seems possible in times of trouble you think you seen it all but there are shots that comes in bag of tricks pop out fresh! The ending doesn't match the intensity of the two-thirds of the film when it brought back the simple conclusion that family comes together in the midst of the crowd and all is well and done.
Critics Consensus: Well-cast yet derivative, Skyscraper isn't exactly a towering action thriller but it's solidly constructed enough to stand among the genre's mildly diverting feature. Fittingly, considering all the shutouts to duct tape, most of the movie feels as though it were patched together with the sticky stuff. As a streaming option on a slow night or a long flight, the movie has its uses. But you've seen almost all of this with more wit and a better villain. The movie is great because the star makes it so; he's a soft soul in an action-hard body. When you see Dwayne Johnson he'll choose films that play it safe and entertain his audience in pleasing way!
