Not looking for any high brow viewing tonight, I was happy to watch The Rock Dwayne Johnson fling himself round this super high rise that is burning with his family in it. Being neither a fan of high rises or fire , but an admirer of Dwayne Johnson and disaster movies I felt that this might be one that I might enjoy. However I found it a bit dull and slightly too formulaic. It was like the producers had sat in a room and ticked off too many boxes- Asian setting, fit and toned baddies with an accent, injured war hero, super cute kids, action sequences tick, tick, tick. However like most modern action movies, they somehow forgot to write a compelling story. Still watching Dwayne Johnson is always a pleasure. 3/5

I like Johnson, too; it's unfortunate that he decided to take on this routine action flick.
