Skyscraper (2018)

I was on a bit of a Dwayne Johnson marathon of late.  I blame it on the in air options, the frequency with which I have been flying of late, and then there is the fact that I really do have a bit of a soft spot for him.  just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over.  It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it successful at the very end of the day.
In this film, which is largely Towering Inferno meets The Fast and the Furious, we watch him pull out his bad ass military skills in order to save his family.  He is working in the world's tallest building in Hong Kong, which looks a lot like  the Shanghai Tower, and faces some dastardly criminals who want to force the building's owner to give them something they dearly want.  It is as good as this sort of movie can be, with an equally strong female character as well.
