Skyscraper



When I saw trailers for this, I never thought I would be seeing it in the theatre. Well, it was playing as the second movie in a double feature at the Drive-In!! So I stayed and watched it. It was silly, and fairly predictable - in that we knew that The Rock always survives and wins. Definitely a PG movie. Very little blood, all things considered. One weird bit was the the Rock had to have an artificial leg for the movie. Not sure that the was about. Anyway, The Rock is an ex-everything and gets blown up at the start of the movie. Jump ahead 10 years and he is doing security analysis work for a super huge skyscraper built on Hong Kong Island. His family also lives in the building, and no one else except for the owner who lives in the penthouse safe space. Bad guys want something the owner has, family is there by mistake, Dwayne is off doing other stuff and has to rescue his family and save the day. At least one bit of unlikeliness in the movie. Still, it wasn't terrible as PG rated Action films can sometimes be.
