Will Sawyer, a former FBI agent and a US war veteran, who is responsible for the security of skyscrapers, accepts taking the mission of keeping the security for, Pearl, one of the tallest buildings in the world, but he faces many challenges when the building has been attacked by the terrorists, who burn it, as he has to save his position by finding those terrorists and save his family, who has been trapped in the fire alike.
The pleasures here come from watching an extraordinary physical specimen go through a lo-tech workout routine thousands of feet above the ground as he tries to rescue his family from a burning superskyscraper.
For Sarah, Will, and his leg sidekick, the maze of characters they must navigate is the tedious space between crazy scenes where anything, anything, anything can be saved with duct tape.
Even the film's hulking hero and its willingness to lean into its overblown nature can't keep this blockbuster alight, as much as Johnson, particularly, tries.
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 before, with more wit and a better villain.
Skyscraper itself defies gravity - and plain sense, and humour, and self-awareness, and most things even a dumb, hot-buttered blockbuster would have even a little of.
...loaded with plotholes, but if you've seen one 'Die Hard' movie, you've seen them all, and that's all this is...but the bottom line is that they have all been entertaining, if ridiculous.
Although it was entertaining at times, 'Skyscraper' is not a film that one should go see if there are better options available. The feeling of déjà vu is just too unshakeable.
