What the hell was everyone expecting form this film? You weren't really expecting Anna Nicole Smith to be capable of anything even close to "real" acting were you? If you were then you need to have your head examined. She was obviously chosen for her looks and nothing else, and she certainly dosen't disappoint in that department as she gets 2 very nice sex scenes(one of which is in a flashback that's hilariously out of place) her acting is about as wooden as you can get with quite possibly the most atrocious Texan accent i've ever heard, but it's still hilarious to watch Smith read her lines off a cue card monotonously. The rest of the actors are pretty mediocre and forgettable, aside from Charles Huber who is pretty entertaining as Fairfax, who loves quoting Shakespeare all the time. This film does decent enough in the action department as the opening shootout is pretty well done, and plenty of people get shot once the film shifts into Die Hard mode though the final confrontation is very disappointing and anti-climatic.Other annoyances are the fact that we never learn what the briefcase does and the obligatory "kid in peril" scenario. Your enjoyment of the film depends on how you look at it, as a Die Hard rip-off it's pretty average as it dosen't do anything to interesting with the scenario apart from the advanced building technology which isn't used much. As a PM entertainment film it ranks near the bottom of as it's a far cry from such immensely entertaining films like Last Man Standing, Rage, Executive Target and several other PM films. But overall it's a decent timewaster if you can get it ultra cheap like I did, it was only $2.00 on Borders Marketplace and I bought it along with 31 other action films which were all about the same price so it was a pretty good deal, all in all i'd say a 6 out of 10 is a pretty good rating for this film.

Back before she became a grotesque charactature of himself, Anna Nichole Smith was hot in a trailer park trash, heavily siliconed, slutty kind of way. Skyscraper was the second of two films that attempted to exploit that dubious quality to maximum potential. Sure there's a minuscule threadbare 'plot' involving terrorists. But that's just the flimsiest excuse to string together some SOFT soft-core scenes (whic are way to few ad far between) that lets Anna expose her two 'real' and only talents (yes the irony of using that word while talking of those tits is not lost on me) However if you watch this movie, I'm pretty sure you know what to expect: Horrible acting, awful fight scenes, lame humor, and Anna's breasts. And nothing I can say will likely dissuade you from seeing it. Just know that the film is pretty damn dire and the other movie of hers "To The Limit" is the 'superor' film (i use the term quite loosely of course) My Grade: F Where i saw it: Starz Edge

In the bad department, this film doesn't measure up to the classics like "Plan 9 From Outer Space", but it tries very hard. Security Guard Dudley Wright is the best thing about this movie, but his Tim Kazarinski (Tim, if I spelled that wrong, I'm sorry) impression seals the deal.If you really want to ogle Anna Nicole Smith's nude bod, better to dig up an old Playboy. She's really not shown that often. Three scenes only one totally nude.On a scale of 1-10 for believability, I'd have to go into the negative numbers, but it does give plenty of laughs if you're willing to suspend any and all credibility.I sincerely feel very bad for the actual GOOD actors in this (there ARE some), but I'm sure they didn't mind the extra job to fill in time between honest work.

Skyscraper is Die Hard with Anna Nicole Smith in the Bruce Willis role. In an effort to differentiate the two movies, they made her a helicopter pilot. Normally this would make the plot highly unbelievable (she takes on a gang of terrorists). But by the time the plot kicks in, you will already have given up on any hope that this is anything more than soft core porn.The sad thing is, Anna Nicole's acting skills aren't even up to that level. Actually, they don't exist. She reads every line in exactly the same monotone, whether whining to her husband that she wants a baby or pleading with the terrorists not to shoot a hostage. On the plus side, there is lots of nudity that gives new meaning to the word 'gratuitous'. Early on Anna Nicole gets home from a hard day's work and relaxes with a slow-motion shower. She seems to really enjoy it, giving special attention to her big-as-your-head breasts. Actually, that's the high point of her performance. But I don't think even Meryl Streep could have done much with this material.You've got your multi-ethnic team of what another reviewer called "Chippendales terrorists", each one a stereotype of some kind (my favourite was the French one, who would sprinkle his dialogue with exotic French words like "mes amis"). You've got your "brilliant" terrorist leader whose brilliance is supposed to be conveyed by his pretentious habit of meaninglessly quoting Shakespeare and by his lofty world-accent line delivery. I could go on about the brain-dead comic relief, the cheesy take-over-the-world plot, and dialogue that's beyond wooden - it's more like petrified wood - but I don't want to ruin the experience for you. That's right - I think you should see this film. I haven't laughed this hard since Showgirls.
