Kinda bad


The Rock movies are pretty good usually. However, this one is a big dud tbh. Sure, they're going for Die Hard without even mentioning it so people like me do it. But this movie is no Die Hard.

For one, making him an amputee was not required and made it even more implausible. Then the whole thing in Hong Kong with Chinese cops looking like morons while we look amazing is kinda tiring and stupid now.

Lots of silly stupid things. I mean the bad guys want to fly off the tallest building with wing suits and some kind of para gliders? With bright yellow ones while choppers are all having headlights on and watching them? WTF.

And the building burning was interesting to a point and then it became stupid. The family splitting for no reason. Then the daughter getting kidnapped for no reason. And not to mention they reaching the 220nd floor from the 96th without much explanation?? That is like 124 floors of climbing. Unless I slept through this part thankfully and missed it I don't recall how they made it from their floor on 96 to the 220th so fast.

Overall, the movie was stupid and a typically summer movie. It's like that greasy fast food. It looks appealing from afar, one bite is enjoyable and rest feels kinda greasy and bad and then later you get the urge to go to restroom to discard it.

I'd rate this movie a 4.5/10

Fast and Furious movies are dumb fun and I liked that movie Snitch but The Rock has gotta stop taking everything that comes his way. this was just ridiculous.

Have a short review of this movie if anyone is interested. If you feel there is something I could be doing better, I would definitely love to hear it. Review here - https://youtu.be/YHq3jCG16Hs

It sucked. It was catered toward Asians who like cheesy crap.
