Skyscraper (Blu-ray + DVD)

This is a movie that will keep the edge. It is worth the money.

In perfect condition. No hairline scratches or damage to case.

Good movie to pass the time

I love this show I just wish it was still free.

I love this movie and was having a hard time finding it anywhere. Glad I checked Amazon.

Skyscraper: 5 out of 10: The Rock hits a hard place (American box-office wise) with this Asian market disaster action movie.You know Dwayne Johnson has appeared in what one could assume would be great cinematic bombs (A Jumanji sequel and movie based on the video game Rampage?) that turned out to be much better than they had any right to be. Even San Andreas brought more to the table than it would appear on the surface. He isn’t perfect (cough Baywatch Cough) but overall The Rock seems to have a good eye for a solid property.Teaming up again with Central Intelligence director Rawson Marshall Thurber (who also wrote), a Towering Inferno/ Die Hard movie set in Hong Kong to guarantee Chinese financing and box office seems like a no brainer. I don’t know what The Rock saw in the original script and or pitch but nothing on the screen seemed worth his time. This is a very paint by numbers affair clearly aimed at the low hanging fruit of the international market.The Good: There are some nice ideas in this film. Giving The Rock only one leg to even the odds and create some more dramatic tension in mook fights is a brilliant idea. Both The Rock and Neve Cambell as his wife are very good in this. The Rock is by no means phoning this one in and Neve Campbell makes a believable action mom. Hannah Quinlivan as the second in charge bad gal is an actual breakout star. One wishes she had been the head bad guy (see below).The Bad: Man this is like pet peeves week.The head bad guy (Roland Møller) is a charismatic black hole. One of the keys in remaking a Die hard film is having a memorable bad guy. You know Tommy Lee Jones in Under Seige, Dennis Hopper in Speed, the snakes in Snakes on a Plane; Roland is playing a dumb white antagonist with even dumber motivation and an even dumber plan. (Set building on fire with you on the roof, ?????, profit). This is where you put your scenery chewing veteran star playing against type, not a man who one assumes is a mook cause he has zero personality and is dressed like everyone else.2. The building is empty. Why would you make a Towering Inferno movie and not have people in the tower? Here is your chance to fill it with dozens of Hollywood and Hong Kong cinema B-listers with the occasional free trip to Hong Kong to be in a Rock movie A-lister cameo. Plus all those cameos gives us a chance to see the building pre-fire. Setting the table so to speak. We can see who is secretly a conman, who is deaf and won’t hear the alarm, who is banging his secretary in the side. This is often the best part of any disaster film. The fire is almost at the 82nd floor means a lot more when there is a diabetic lady with a cat played by Goldie Hawn living there.3. There is a crowd cheering The Rock on in front of a jumbotron like it was an Adam Sandler sports comedy. I cannot begin to emphasize how much I hate this technique. And to make matters even worse the film doesn’t really earn this. Oh, and there is the cop from Die Hard that believes in The Rock and the cop from Die Hard that is convinced that he is in on it and neither of them should really even be in the movie.4. I actually have a puzzling query. Did they originally cast an African American actress to play The Rock’s wife before casting Neve Campbell? I am asking because while McKenna Roberts and Noah Cottrell are actually quite good as the kids they look nothing like the offspring of Dwayne Johnson and Neve Campbell.5. I am sure that redoing Enter The Dragon’s climax looked good on paper.The Ugly: There is a good scene where the insurance adjuster betrays the building owner and reveals himself to be part of the scheme. (He goes on to be beaten up by Neve Campbell.) It is a shocking moment… a true surprise…. Mainly because it negates any reason for The Rock to be there at all. I mean The Rock’s job was to test the safety and security features. The big deal was that to test them all the protocols would be turned off so The Rock’s tablet would, in essence, control the building. The guy who hired the Rock was in on the scheme but one assumes he needed The Rock to convince the insurance adjuster. But if he also was in on the scheme they could have had any mook do the Rock’s job and get the magic tablet. After all, all the Rock does is give a simple powerpoint demonstration and the two people looking into his credentials are both bad guys. In other words, there was no logical reason to hire someone outside your crew to take control of the building's security. In particular someone like The Rock.In Conclusion: You know there are plenty of great foreign disaster movies. There are also some top-notch foreign Die Hard ripoffs. This movie reminds me of a foreign film from the eighties with the crowds cheering our heroes and the simple yet stupid plot. It is watchable but it is nothing you haven't seen better so many times before.

Great movie

I really respect the concept of the parent's characters ( played by Dwayne & Naomi ); having been realistic in the sense that their Specific characters have not only been " Trained " to remain Calm during emergencies (2 vets of the game); but also within a context Connected to their individual careers , they've seen a lot / been Thru a lot. That adds to the credibility that their Characters carry in terms of evaluating a situation & working to Overcome It. Chances are that within this Type of plot, the characters of the kiddos were most likely trained by the Characters of the parents to face potential emergencies in steps, with clear thinking & by trying to remain calm. (something my friend who has asthma was always taught to do from a young age ; * Relevant bcuz the son in the movie has asthma.) All in all , the movie displays cool Special effects & a cast whose Characters each hold to their Own Personal Aims ; Goals and / or agenda. Whether that Aim is staying alive , or whether the goal is to Protect … or Whether that agenda is to steal, kill & destroy or in contrast to preserve something of Value ; the message is clear that where one's Heart is at ; One's treasure will be found there Also …. * finally, as a side ~ note, I really appreciated that Naomi cambell's character was not a 'Damsel in distress' & yet that she doesn't mind trusting her Hubby & having faith that whatever He did thruout the movie , Was for a Reason. I believe this made her character Solid yet gracious*****
