Watch Skyscraper For Free

Memorable, crazy movie

Absolutely the worst movie.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Imagine Die Hard (1988) starring full-figured Texan centrefold Anna Nicole Smith instead of Bruce Willis but filmed on a fraction of the budget. It's a concept that captures the imagination, but is it worth seeing?The second collaboration between Smith and director Raymond Martino, following To The Limit (1995), a thriller co-starring Joey Travolta (brother of John), Skyscraper is one of a string of bland but bombastic action movies produced in Los Angeles by the now defunct PM Entertainment. Smith plays Carrie, a pilot for private helicopter travel operator Heliscort, used by businessmen to get through the city from one meeting to another in the quickest way possible. Our first glimpse of Smith comes during the opening aeriel sequence in which we see her inappropriately long red nails as she guides the helicopter. There is then a brief interlude for a little exposition in which we learn a) her husband is a cop, and b) she wants a child and he does not. Obviously, both these attempts at characterisation come into play as the narrative unfolds.Carrie is unwittingly involved in a villain's activities, transporting him from one death scene to another, just as Jamie Foxx would do later in Collateral (2004). Her husband is, coincidentally, investigating the deaths and when his partner is killed it becomes personal. When she becomes aware of her unwitting role in the day's events, Carrie fights back. Doing all she can to keep a valuable briefcase out of the villain's hands, protect a small child and rescue the hostages.Following in the footprints of soft porn action filmmakers such as Andy Sidaris, Skyscraper is a more competent action film than one might expect. Against the odds, this is a production of some quality. A satisfying action film that just happens to have a sexploitation gimmick as its unique selling point. An early shower scene becomes a typical softcore scene and another sex scene follows later. When the action plot is in full swing, Smith pauses to reflect on better days and a ludicrous exploitation of the flashback device. As the situation becomes more serious, Smith loses some of her clothing in an attempted rape scene that sat uncomfortably with the light tone of the film. Aside from all this PM's action formula is pretty much the same as in films starring the likes of Sam Jones, Gary Daniels and Jeff Wincott etc.Smith handles the action material as well as can be expected. She has a brief gun-fight and gives the villain a pounding with a couple of slight martial arts moves. Her character is not an elitely trained soldier or a cop, as in most films of this type so we don't expect a great deal from her. As this is a rehash of Die Hard it seems only appropriate that she get to do a take on Bruce Willis' famous fire-hose-jump sequence; her character swings around for a few minutes before busting through the window. This minimal amount of Smith-led action is simply not enough for a PM audience to be satisfied, so we have the actions of the villains, as well as the cop husband, to fill out the standard PM action quotient. There is a small amount of martial arts – including a detachable sequence involving two bit players, of the kind you would only get in a B-movie.One of PM's trademarks is the rocket launcher, and so these are used a half dozen times, another is the man-falling-from-building stunt. There are three of these. With a couple of man-on-fire sequences round out the mix. There's plenty here to keep genre fans amused.

"It's like DIE HARD in a skyscraper!" So the legend goes about how this was described by lead Anna Nicole Smith. The creative forces behind TO THE LIMIT (PM Entertainment, director Raymond Martino, Smith, and her breasts) reunite to deliver this completely brainless, yet surprisingly mesmerizing action picture.Carrie Wink (Smith) is a helicopter pilot with her head high in the clouds. She just happens to to land on a skyscraper that is under terrorist control. Coming into contact with a top secret super weapon, Carrie becomes the target of a ruthless but well dressed group of baddies led by a Pele look-a-like. With her cop beau aiding and abetting, she sets out to spoil the terrorists plans and, hopefully, take another long shower before the end credits.This is really a bad movie fan's wet dream. Action scenes rip off the greats of the time period (CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER, DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE) and, as always, PM packs the explosions with all the punch of a gas tanker full of nitroglycerin being driven by an angry William Friedkin. Couple these explosions with Smith's frequent nudity and terrible acting to make an intoxicating mix appear. Let's not forget this priceless dialog exchange as Smith thwarts a rapist's attempts:Villain: "You f%#king whore!"Smith: "You wanna f%#k me? Villain: "F%#k you!" Smith: "F%#k this!"She then shoots him and he falls out a window to the ground 10 floors below. Rob Zombie can only dream of writing such an exchange. Smith proved she had the acting talent of, well, a Playboy Playmate. Her son Daniel even appears as a hostage who becomes Carrie's surrogate son. *cringe* PM producer Joseph Merhi ended up exploiting Smith even more when he was a producer on the THE ANNA NICOLE SMITH STORY (2007), a cheapie whipped up quickly after her untimely death.

...is something around a "5 out of 10". If you take Anna Nicole Smith out, it is a decent action film, with nice explosions, respect-worthy stunts (people falling from great heights or being burned alive), and a few surprisingly solid martial arts fights with Branko Cikatik. And yet until today more than half of the 700-something people who have voted on "Skyscraper" gave it a "1" - obviously because of ANS (and quite a few people gave it a "10" - again, obviously because of ANS). Yes, her acting is on a high-school play level, and her grotesquely over-sized breasts are a matter of taste, but you can't say that she doesn't make an effort. But if you're thinking of getting this movie just to see her nude, don't - the two sex scenes run a total of 5 minutes in a 90-minute movie and feel like they were added in post-production (and in what might be an attempt to keep the ladies happy as well, the film includes a fair number of hunky males in it - seriously, these terrorists might have a more profitable career as fitness models). Overall, this is about on a par with ANS's other film, "To The Limit"; take that as you will. (**)

This film has some of the worst acting I have ever seen, though I found it amusing just listening to anna nicole smith. She should do comedy and not action, Like in Naked gun.Is it just me or are all the male actors just pumped up on steroids and are like robots.The only good thing about the film is anna nicole smith flashing her body around, that she does so often. I recommend any guy that wants to see anna nicole smith strip, that they should download the clips from the internet and not buy it on DVD, unless you can pick it up for 50 pence.
