What is left to say about Dwayne Johnson’s latest jaunt? Come for the eye candy, stay for the impossible physics.
In case you’ve been living under a Rock (get it?), Johnson is playing Will Sawyer, a combat vet-turned-security consultant on skyscrapers. He and his family are on assignment in Hong Kong, where he’s assessing the tallest, safest superskyscraper in the world. Suddenly, the building bursts into flame, and Will becomes a fugitive when he’s framed for setting the blaze. He needs to clear his name, catch the bad guys, and save his family, all in 102 minutes. I have faith in The Rock.
Rounding out the cast are Neve Campbell as his wife, along with Pablo Schreiber. Rawson Marshall Thurber (Easy A, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story) wrote and directed.
Skyscraper opens nationwide on July 12.
