?Skyscraper? is the only blockbuster coming out this month that isn?t part of a franchise.
Despite an unimpressive script, Dwayne Johnson earned praise for his performance as Will Sawyer.
Sawyer is an amputee forced to save his family from terrorists on a prosthetic leg.
Reviews for the film are mixed, with a Rotten Tomatoes score currently at 58 percent.
?While it?s a completely disposable story, ?Skyscraper? is fascinating simply for Thurber?s fascination with evolving Johnson?s star persona. [?] In so many of his films, Johnson is like some kind of comic book superhero: cartoonishly strong, his biceps bulging to an unimaginable size??
