11/19/2023 0 Comments Skyscraper castSomething like The Rock climbing over 300 metres up the side of a crane and then jumping off that crane into a burning building. It’s almost daring you to roll your eyes at its disregard for sense, but you daren’t in case you miss something. Every action scene is engineered to make you chuckle at how demented it is. Together with director/writer Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball, which should tell you a lot), The Rock strives to make a film that will leave you entertained to within an inch of your sanity. He must do whatever’s necessary to rescue them, and he will not allow the laws of physics or any sort of logic to stand in his way. The most needlessly elaborate heist in history goes awry and traps Sawyer’s family in mortal danger. Bad guys attack the building, hacking its safety system and setting all the middle floors alight, in order to smoke out its billionaire owner (Chin Han) and rob him of an important USB drive. Despite being someone who would let his loved ones live in a building not yet declared completely safe, he is a dedicated father and husband. While he is assessing the building, Sawyer is staying on its 98 th floor with his family. He has been hired to check the safety of The Pearl, a 240-storey building in Hong Kong. The Rock plays Will Sawyer, a former Marine who now works as a fire safety officer. Stupid is only a bad thing when you think you’re smart. It cannot be overstated just how daft it is, but because Skyscraper is in on the joke, because it’s enjoying its own absurdity and pushing everything forcefully over the top, it is ridiculous amounts of fun. This may be the stupidest movie that The Rock, the Laurence Olivier of stupid movies, has ever been involved in.
