What to Know

Critics Consensus

Well-cast yet derivative, Skyscraper isn't exactly a towering action thriller feat, but it's solidly constructed enough to stand among the genre's more mildly diverting features.

Leaden, formulaic. Go to Full Review

Skyscraper might be a bit hairy for someone with a fear of heights. Otherwise, it's a predictable single-hero disaster event film. Go to Full Review

I really enjoyed it. It's complete nonsense, it's complete derivative. Go to Full Review

3/5
The unmatched appeal of The Rock makes everything better, transforming this outlandish knockoff into something thrilling and satisfying with a dose of daddy feels for good measure. Go to Full Review
Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 08/25/2022
3.5/5
There is also a strong message of family that I responded to. Again, at times cheesy, but still a welcomed ingredient. Go to Full Review
Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 03/11/2022
2/4
The paint-by-numbers script panders, delivering only predictable, ingratiating twists and turns, characters without personalities, and a big-budget experience that's content with being on autopilot. Go to Full Review

Scott E Oct 18 The Rock might be strong, but he can't climb buildings with one hand. Give me a break. See more CHARLENE B Oct 1 THIS MOVIE SHOULD CONTINUE AS PART 2 & SHOULD GET RATINGS.

See more thiago s Aug 12 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Monica A Jul 12 5/10 means good See more Frans B Apr 19 Loved it!
