Skyscraper review – The Rock towers over an inferno of cliches

When the first footage from Skyscraper was launched earlier this year, most online conversation revolved around the staggering incredulity of the trailer’s money shot: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson making an Ethan Hunt-esque leap from a crane into the broken window of a building.

 

Everyone from math professors to meme makers critiqued the physics, and even Johnson snappily responded on Twitter.

 

But for me, the most unlikely element was the inclusion of Johnson himself.

 

How on earth does the wrestler-turned-actor find the time to headline so many damn movies? Does he sleep? Has he undergone a Multiplicity-like experimental cloning procedure?

I know nothing about this film and will never see it.  But I love this song - having seen both Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big) play in Bangkok.
