It could just as easily have read "Dumb meets Dumber"
Actually, now that I think about it: that's probably unfair: there's nothing dumb about knowing your audience!
(Loosely) based on the old 1980s arcade game of the same name, this sees Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson playing primatologist Davis Okoye, who - for plot reasons - gets caught up in what (essentially) amounts to a Monster showdown in downtown Chicago, with the monsters scaling tall building and destroying half the city in the process while the military vainly tries to stop them.
You know, just like the coin-up?
Basically, this a B-movie writ large, and knows it!
