#FILM DWAYNE JOHNSON SKYSCRAPER MOVIE#

The group of criminals want to kill the financier of the Pearl, the skyscraper in question, for some 'dirty secrets' Li (the financier) has stored in this drive. Conceptually, the film is fairly straightforward. The skyscraper is the tallest in the world, something like 220 stories tall or something.

It's a movie about this man, who was part of a military hostage rescue team (one of their rescues, invariably, went wrong and it ended up with the death of this family he was meant to rescue and the loss of his leg), saving his wife and children from the burning skyscraper after it is taken over by criminals and, naturally, set on fire. Though, if I'm being fair, there's nothing inherently terrible about this movie at its core. Dwayne probably makes this more watchable than it would have been otherwise. And that streak doesn't end with this film. That's a fairly long run, at least out of the films I've seen and reviewed, of not being in something that I thought was an outright stinker.

Again, I should point out that his entire career hasn't been this way, I think it dates back to the first Fast and Furious movie he was in, which would be in 2011. And this is dating back to reviews that were only posted on RottenTomatoes before I ever created my Letterboxd profile. And I think that's what Dwayne brings to the table and it's something that he has brought consistently for a few years now since, to my mind, I haven't rated a Rock movie lower than 2.5 stars. I wasn't positive on it, mind you, but I was far more positive than most. But, to my point, I had absolutely no issues with the Baywatch movie that everyone seemed to hate. This wasn't always the case, as the Tooth Fairy and the Game Plan are stil awful movies. But, in my opinion, for the time being, Dwayne makes movies that I probably would have crucified if he was replaced by anyone else watchable. Not necessarily in terms of the quality of his movies, because that's all subjective. But I think Dwayne takes it to a higher level. Sam Rockwell has it, despite not being a major box office draw.

Tom Cruise, love him or hate him, has that. Though, if I'm being fair, I think major box office attractions have to have that factor. I really do think that it would have been less difficult for him to be the major box office attraction that he is (one of the biggest, actually). And that, much to his credit, has clearly transferred itself to his movie career. The point is that Rock had the gift of gab and he had chemistry with absolutely everybody he faced off on the mic. In the ring it's another matter entirely, because it also depends on the other person that you're facing and, if the person you're facing is Raja Lion, an awful wrestler, (real wrestling geeks that watch Botchamania get that reference), then it's gonna be impossible for anyone to have chemistry with him, as great as they may be. At least verbally, since mic work was a major part of what made The Rock one of the WWF's biggest stars in its history. And this goes back to his wrestling days. What I mean is that this guy seems to have chemistry with everybody he works with. No, but you're adorable for thinking that. Oh, you thought that I meant in regards to the roles he plays. Look, I gotta give Dwayne Johnson, The Rocky, Rocky, whatever you wanna call him, a lot of credit for his flexibility and versatility. We now return to your regularly scheduled programming. And, since I can't actually copy and paste this in a second, I'm gonna copy from my own draft on Google and write it out on this notepad. I started to review this movie on my phone's Gmail app since, apparently, stupid me forgot that I've been without WiFi for almost two weeks now and I thought I could continue this review on my laptop when I booted it up.
