I mean, if you want to look at models in action movies, this is definitely superior to Cindy Crawford's Fair Game with William Baldwin. It's not going to happen, in part because she's no longer with us, but also in part because no one cares about anyone's acting chops in a PM Entertainment flick! Part of what makes PM Entertainment so great is that they can do a film with Anna Nicole Smith in it and make it so great that we can love it unironically. You're probably waiting for me to go for the low-hanging fruit of making fun of Anna Nicole Smith's acting in this. That was a round-about long-winded way of saying I'm going to put more of a priority on these older movies. Bob Hartley, and he and The Rock have to save the world from a ruthless super criminal, played by Kelsey Grammer. What should have happened was, this should have been released in the theater, and instead of making Skyscraper, The Rock should have made another Fast and Furious spin-off, this one called Hobbs and Hartley, where Bob Newhart reprises his role from The Bob Newhart show, Dr. The fact that they made a movie with The Rock that has the same name as this tells me that they think they're better than this. They don't make movies like this anymore. After seeing Skyscraper, I realize what a mistake that was. While I was on hiatus Dolph, Seagal, and Van Damme had been very busy, not to mention Scott Adkins, Michael Jai White et al., so when I came back, I felt like I needed to catch up on all that stuff and get it reviewed, which meant movies like this were getting lost in the shuffle. Now this is a bit more Skin-a-max than your usual PM flick, as they tried to take advantage of Anna Nicole Smith by giving her a couple sex scenes that show off her assets, and which I think makes this a bit harder of a sell for a bad movie night, depending on your audience but if you're looking for a fun PM Entertainment actioner that you can stream on most services, this does the trick about as well as any of them. Is that not the most amazing thing ever? Give me that all day. In the opening 15 minutes, we have Malibu from American Gladiators wearing only the vest and pants of a three-piece suit while spraying a bunch of guys with an uzi, who then try to escape by backing their car out of the alley they're all in, leading to them crashing through a Bud Dry truck and causing an explosion. The one thing they didn't count on: that the scrappy helicopter pilot that flew them there would be the fly in their ointment. When their deal goes bad, they need to take over the skyscraper they're in. Skyscraper has Anna Nicole Smith as a helicopter taxi pilot that gets a job from some baddies that are trying to get some top secret weaponry. A whole slew of other sites have looked at this, including Ty and Brett at Comeuppance, Will at Exploding Helicopter, and RobotGEEK's Cult Cinema, so you can go to their sites to see what they thought about this as well. The fact that I hadn't covered this, and have a review site called "The DTV Connoisseur"-no matter how tongue and cheek the name-was definitely something I felt I needed to rectify as soon as possible, so now we're here. I had never seen it before, but it was one they wanted with their honorable mentions. When I had Brett and Ty from Comeuppance Reviews on the podcast to discuss their favorite PM Entertainment movies, right after we stopped recording, one of them mentioned that we forgot this movie.
