Neulich im Hauptquartier der SevenBucks Production. Der selbsternannte "hardest working man in show business" betritt den Raum, am Tisch sitzt bereits seine Armada von in jahrelanger Vetternwirtschaft zusammengekarrten Produzenten und Regisseuren.
Produzent A: "Hey D, du...es lief jetzt schon seit etwa 3 Wochen kein neuer Film mit dir in den Kinos. Wir müssen da schnell was machen - die Fans entwickeln sonst noch The Rock-Entzug."
Dwayne: "Ja klar, aber macht bitte schnell. Ich muss bis 14 Uhr noch die neue Under Armour-Strumpfhose launchen und drei Instagram-Posts absetzen, in denen ich der Welt erkläre, wie krass real und auf dem Boden geblieben ich bin."
Produzent B: "Geht ganz schnell. Pass auf - Riesending. Wir hätten hier einen echten Topregisseur, der eine…
the kind of movie that has the gall to show the Rock wielding a sword in the midst of a shootout on the rooftop of "the tallest building on Earth," but then take said sword away from him before he's able to slice & dice a couple bad guys. what the Rock really needs to do is star in a film called Skyscraper Sword Battles, in which every building in the world is a skyscraper and he must leap from skyscraper to skyscraper with his trusted blade, slicing & dicing bad guys. until he reaches the final skyscraper, where he has to slay an asshole dragon who kidnapped his family just because it was bored and wanted to see some Skyscraper Sword Battles.
Exactly as stupid as you'd expect but not nearly as elaborately absurd as you'd hope. Hits all the beats in the most perfunctory way possible. Adequate.

“This isn’t going to end the way you want it to”
To describe Skyscraper as simple as possible would be to say it’s Die Hard without the positives. It is, unfortunately, a coma-inducing CGI fest with so little charisma and flair that’s oppressed within a deliberating sense of false grandeur and lacklustre destructive extravaganza that neither entices nor impresses.

Interesting, insofar as it’s becoming increasingly clear that Dwayne Johnson has a definitive “type” in his action movies. (i.e. “Hero Dad”) Otherwise, very forgettable. Full review at ScreenCrush.
Clean, dumb fun. Most of the premise is explored in the trailer. It took forever to end and could have benefited from tighter editing.
There is a mirror scene that recalls Orson Welles’The Lady from Shanghai. It’s interesting to look at, but has been done before.
The main characters cared about their family. That’s all we can expect and need from this film. The dad (The Rock) with his fake leg and the mom (Neve Campbell) with her poor iPhone skills made for planned plot points. Should have seen it coming, but let’s just act surprised and say, “Whoa!”
Der aufwendigste, selbstbewussteste und vorausdeutendste Duct Tape-Werbespot aller Zeiten. Getreu dem Motto "If you can't fix it with The Rock, you're not using enough action with The Rock" wird sich nicht damit begnügt nur "Flammendes Inferno" auf modern zu trimmen. Von "Stirb langsam" über "Mission: Impossible 4" bis hin zu "San Andreas" wird noch alles mit reingequetscht, was jemals ein Hochhaus in Szene gesetzt hat. Foreshadowing-Hirn-aus-Unterhaltung par excellence. Kann man Spaß mit haben, muss man nicht.
Note to self: Don't design an elevator that can drop just by easily axeing one wire on the outside.
