Skyscraper

Parents need to know that Skyscraper is an intense action-disaster movie starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson that plays like a cross between The Towering Inferno and Die Hard. Violence/suspense is definitely the main concern: Expect lots of guns and shooting, knives, explosions, some bloody cuts and wounds, and character deaths (mostly quick and bloodless). The main character removes a shard of impaled metal from his body and dresses the wound himself. Children are in peril throughout most of the story. Language includes a use of "f--k" and a few uses of "s--t," but sex and substance use aren't issues. There are a few expertly crafted scenes of heart-stopping suspense, but they're surrounded by plenty of ridiculous, shallow, ineffective material. Still, viewers who don't mind waiting for the good parts may be entertained.
