Some good episodes (0 more)
Too many slow episodes (1 more)
Not what I expected
Disappointing
This looked interesting, a spin off series from silence of the lambs set a few months later.
It's all over the place with some very good episodes but far too many slow rather dull episodes. Rather than tracking serial killers as you might expect this covers many areas of the FBI. The main plot running through the series is of some murders to cover up the results of a drug trial of a major company. It goes off track at times and can be hard to follow. More due to lack of interest. The ties to the Silence of the lambs which pop up tend to be the best episodes.
Overall not a very gripping storyline make it slightly disappointing.

There's just something by the (ex)Wrestler named The Rock, and his films.

Big, dumb action films for the most part.

And that, in my book, is a good thing.

In this, he plays a former FBI agent who is now a security expert (following his disastrous last mission, which cost him a leg) who must now rescue his family from inside a burning building in Hong Kong - the Skyscraper of the title, and the highest building in the world - while the local police believe he is responsible for starting the fire (he is, of course, being framed for the same).

I only saw this on the small screen: I can only imagine what the various vertiginous stunts would have looked like on the big screen!
