People do insane things in movies all the time , and most times we think of daring acts in movies, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson comes to mind .
In Skyscraper , a movie released today , terrorists purposely set a 240 -story building on fire in order to get at a flash drive locked away in the billionaire’ s penthouse on top . That seems like an awful lot of trouble for a heist , and yet , it’s nothing compared to the extravagant lengths Dwayne Johnson ’s character, Will Sawyer, will go.
The Rock plays a security expert trying to rescue his family from the world’ s tallest building after it’s been set on fire by terrorists. As the building burns , Johnson battles terrorists hundreds of stories in the air using only several meters of duct tape and his melon -like biceps. Not so much a story as The Rock’s upper body workout with explosions in the background , the movie pitches him into increasingly ridiculous situations, most of which involve dangling from great heights.
Playing his army surgeon wife, Neve Campbell is also a pleasingly proactive presence , holding her own in combat and conflagration.
Among other summer blockbusters like Ant -Man and the Wasp , Solo and
Deadpool 2 , Skyscraper is that rare beast : not a sequel, spin- off or aftermath entry . However , it is the greatest skyscraper -related underdog story .
Skyscraper has a solid foundation in Johnson , who again proves to the world how reliably entertaining he is. Cleverly , Johnson ’s all - action hero has a bit of vulnerability thanks to his heart - warming dedication to his family. His artificial leg becomes one of his most important tools in the race to save his family.
