SKYSCRAPER **

A big, dumb action flic that doesn't waste a second in getting down to business and is actually very well done for what it is. Dwayne Johnson is the big, dumb action hero, (dumber than most, if truth be told), who has to save his family from an attack on the "Skyscraper" of the title which also happens to be the world's tallest building. The setting is Hong Kong and every terrorist attack and burning skyscraper cliche from "Die Hard" and "The Towering Inferno" onwards is gainfully employed here. Of course, it's all deeply silly but hugely enjoyable, the perfect popcorn movie where every daft moment is signalled in advance making this the most pleasurable of guilty pleasures.
