FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader and U.S. war veteran Will Sawyer now assesses security for skyscrapers. On assignment in Hong Kong he finds the tallest, safest building in the world suddenly ablaze, and he's been framed for it. A wanted man on the run, Will must find those responsible, clear his name and somehow rescue his family who are trapped inside the building...above the fire line.
This was one of the most over the top movies I've ever seen. Like if you just wanted to do a wannabe Die Hard with The Rock playing the Bruce Willis part - I'm so in. But to add 200 more floors to the building, raging fires throughout and give The Rock a prosthetic leg? Come on! Also - the most important part of Die Hard was Hans Gruber as the villain. There is absolutely no Hans Gruber in this movie and although I will never not like The Rock and some of the scenes were cool, the stunts were again so over the top and one could say that this movie was actually a two hour commercial for the power of duct tape.
I would not recommend people checking this out. Actually - I take that back. This is one of those movies that are so over the top that it ends up being a fun watch because you are laughing at it.
