Strong and Moving!

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I have just watched this and I thought it was just brilliant...truly,one of the best, if not the best, action film I have ever seen.I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone with an appreciation for this type of film. And if that doesn't describe you, what are you doing here? The main plot points were typical of the action film with several unique elements.I thought it was well acted, and the main character is just adorable. The villains are great. 10/10

What the hell was everyone expecting form this film? You weren't really expecting Anna Nicole Smith to be capable of anything even close to "real" acting were you? If you were then you need to have your head examined. She was obviously chosen for her looks and nothing else, and she certainly dosen't disappoint in that department as she gets 2 very nice sex scenes(one of which is in a flashback that's hilariously out of place) her acting is about as wooden as you can get with quite possibly the most atrocious Texan accent i've ever heard, but it's still hilarious to watch Smith read her lines off a cue card monotonously. The rest of the actors are pretty mediocre and forgettable, aside from Charles Huber who is pretty entertaining as Fairfax, who loves quoting Shakespeare all the time. This film does decent enough in the action department as the opening shootout is pretty well done, and plenty of people get shot once the film shifts into Die Hard mode though the final confrontation is very disappointing and anti-climatic.Other annoyances are the fact that we never learn what the briefcase does and the obligatory "kid in peril" scenario. Your enjoyment of the film depends on how you look at it, as a Die Hard rip-off it's pretty average as it dosen't do anything to interesting with the scenario apart from the advanced building technology which isn't used much. As a PM entertainment film it ranks near the bottom of as it's a far cry from such immensely entertaining films like Last Man Standing, Rage, Executive Target and several other PM films. But overall it's a decent timewaster if you can get it ultra cheap like I did, it was only $2.00 on Borders Marketplace and I bought it along with 31 other action films which were all about the same price so it was a pretty good deal, all in all i'd say a 6 out of 10 is a pretty good rating for this film.

1) To be in the cast, you had to have an asymmetrical face.2) The computer props were originally used in "Desk Set." 3) When the crotch in the guy's jeans split wide open, it was barely noticeable. Really.4) Anna Nichole's son had no idea he was being used as an homage to "The Shining". 5) Nobody else involved knew that either.6) International Male sales exploded when this movie was released.7) Somebody LOVED high school French class.FYI - Comcast info gave this movie 2 stars. I would love to find out what exactly warranted that extra star. And if anybody has any information on the behind the scenes story of this meisterwerke, please let me know.

...is something around a "5 out of 10". If you take Anna Nicole Smith out, it is a decent action film, with nice explosions, respect-worthy stunts (people falling from great heights or being burned alive), and a few surprisingly solid martial arts fights with Branko Cikatik. And yet until today more than half of the 700-something people who have voted on "Skyscraper" gave it a "1" - obviously because of ANS (and quite a few people gave it a "10" - again, obviously because of ANS). Yes, her acting is on a high-school play level, and her grotesquely over-sized breasts are a matter of taste, but you can't say that she doesn't make an effort. But if you're thinking of getting this movie just to see her nude, don't - the two sex scenes run a total of 5 minutes in a 90-minute movie and feel like they were added in post-production (and in what might be an attempt to keep the ladies happy as well, the film includes a fair number of hunky males in it - seriously, these terrorists might have a more profitable career as fitness models). Overall, this is about on a par with ANS's other film, "To The Limit"; take that as you will. (**)
