The movie subtly portrays the itch among Chinese to showcase their newly acquired wealth and strength laced with technological prowess. The actor with an amputated leg (Dwayne Johnson) represents present-day battered and bruised the USA who's looking to seek favor from Chinese. It shows the present phase of the USA, where China has emerged as the major competitor and adversary. Implicitly, the movie displays the softer image of China which is accommodating, tolerant but posses a degree of arrogance. In this movie, China has become affluent and emerged in a position to provide the most important thing to Americans 'Jobs' after of course the 'Mexican wall' which I am particularly unsure about😁
Like the earlier feeble attempts to make an epic movie like 'The Great Wall' which was ludicrous, unfortunately, sky-scrapper falls in the same zone and is the notoriously similar and modern version of 'Die Hard'. The story can be summarized as - there are few people who are trapped in the world's tallest building in Hong Kong and need to be rescued against all odds which includes Dwayne Johnson's family. To add some spice, mercenaries were accommodated who sought money from the owner of the building (Chinese). There's nothing extraordinary in the story, that is a blatant case of plagiarism but then China is a synonym of copyright infringement. A remarkably silly attempt to make a lavish movie, Complete Avoid
