Skip it. This is a by-the-numbers action thriller that trades on Dwayne Johnson's charisma and a high-concept premise that never justifies itself—it's basically Die Hard in a skyscraper with less wit and more eye-rolling contrivances. Unless you're desperate for mindless spectacle, your night is better spent elsewhere.
