Skyscraper
It's in Skyscraper—the latest in a streak of big-budget high-concept Dwayne Johnson blockbusters—that he finally claims Arnold Schwarzenegger's mantle. What Skyscraper represents is an absurd action movie that simply couldn't justify it's existence without Johnson's presence. He's an enormous charisma engine; drop him into a shiny plastic shell, and suddenly you've got a vehicle. That's not to say Skyscraper is poorly made. It's quick like a bunny and very aware of its formula. Skyscraper is a thoroughly 2018 action movie: Violent but largely bloodless, with a bit of heart, a bit of menace, no travel time between objectives, and zero downtime between set pieces. There's basically everything you need to keep the whole family entertained for 90 minutes.
