A little big movie. . . Each film is made to show and convey something specific. The main thing is to understand why it is worth watching and what to pay special attention to.
The skyscraper is quite simple, not too dynamic, but quite a thorough action movie. It has a plot, in particular, the viewer is shown the events from the inside of the world 'bad guys', built a small but logical storyline, easily explaining what is happening on the screen (often strange) events. There will be urban and skyscraper fights, of course, unexpected turns, but beauty will win, of course. Yeah, about beauty. . .
It's a convention. Therefore, each director shows his own standard. Somewhere there may be a small, daring brunette, somewhere cold and at the same time sensual blonde, somewhere laughing, somewhere crying, somewhere insidious, somewhere naive, somewhere just a very kind and caring girl. A playboy model somewhere. In films that are not erotic, you can rarely see a sultry blonde with a huge bust size, a daring and cute face at the same time. I would love to see more actresses like this, they really make an impression.
In action films, there is rarely a deep drama and an outstanding, emotional, complex and multifaceted play of actors, the genre is more inclined to show effects, various kinds of explosions, shootouts, chases, muzzles and other challenging shots, next to which it is difficult to find a place for feelings. Therefore, the scenes of the love relationship of the main character with her (let it also be) hero very poorly fit with the main line of the film and are perceived as emotional unloading, anticipating new action events.
Smith played her part well. Here she with an impenetrable expression of her face cuts circles on a helicopter, but with complaining squeals hangs high above the ground. She shoots a gun and carefully helps the wounded. Here's a loving home girl, and here's a professional helicopter pilot. And each image is embodied perhaps exactly as it should be. How do you expect to see it?
The antagonist, as expected, unpredictable, cruel and unscrupulous, with a dose of psychosis and burning eyes. It's also a well-played role.
Secondary characters are frankly weaker, they can be comical where you need to scare, sloppy where you need to go along the edge. Bandits are too stereotyped, in life, not all criminals hang out in the gym, have ferocious faces and shoot guns in all directions as soon as they are sprinkled with ammunition.
Special effects are clearly cheap, not realistic, not spectacular enough. But not for every film allocate many millions of evergreens, somewhere had to save.
What's the score? 5 points for Anna Nicole's fifth breast size. Add one point for a good performance by Smith and the antagonist. Another plus deserved a fashionable helicopter and biceps bandits. Minus 2 points for performing secondary roles and staging.

Fine. It will be delivered somewhere.
P.S. Annushka will shine three times. Don't miss it.
