"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.

So i bought the movie for like 50 cents and only to watch it due to the curiosity of Anna Nicole's acting. I love her, simply because she is incredibly outrageous.So instead of watching the COMPLETE movie, i skimmed through it and watching maybe a half hours worth, and those 30 minutes were basically Anna Nicole naked, *beep* her husband, or almost getting raped by someone.I was rather disappointed that this movie was horrible, I've followed some rather infamous actresses doing their share of horrible B movies but they did what they needed to do and acted pretty damn well considering horrible scripts and direction, but i feel from the start of this movie, it was a failure. I expected her to "act", not act like she does in every day life. I feel like cheated, it seems more like a completely fake and bogus reality show than a movie.and the fact that basically all the bad guys looked like ChippenDales Dancers and couldn't act for *beep* not that anyone could in the movie but oh well. This movie was basically eye candy, porn and cheap gun shooting and explosives.I guess I'm just mad at the fact that they only put Anna in this movie due to her enormous boobs and the fact that she wouldn't mind being naked in EVERY single scene in the movie. And that it was 100% more of a softcore porn than and Action Movie.I hope "To The Limit" and at least 10% interesting unlike this crap.

Back before she became a grotesque charactature of himself, Anna Nichole Smith was hot in a trailer park trash, heavily siliconed, slutty kind of way. Skyscraper was the second of two films that attempted to exploit that dubious quality to maximum potential. Sure there's a minuscule threadbare 'plot' involving terrorists. But that's just the flimsiest excuse to string together some SOFT soft-core scenes (whic are way to few ad far between) that lets Anna expose her two 'real' and only talents (yes the irony of using that word while talking of those tits is not lost on me) However if you watch this movie, I'm pretty sure you know what to expect: Horrible acting, awful fight scenes, lame humor, and Anna's breasts. And nothing I can say will likely dissuade you from seeing it. Just know that the film is pretty damn dire and the other movie of hers "To The Limit" is the 'superor' film (i use the term quite loosely of course) My Grade: F Where i saw it: Starz Edge

I laughed, I laughed. Skyscraper is without doubt, the lamest movie I have ever seen. It was on one of my movie channels last night and I had to watch the whole thing to ensure it was indeed worthy of knocking Commando from the perch as the worst movie ever. Ana Nicole Smith, while topless in 2 scenes, basically read her lines (which may have been quite an accomplishment for her) with the emotional range of a dead squirrel. Setting aside Ana, the farcical gun play and other "acting" is simply terrible. Oh yea, and the story is a total plagiary of Die Hard. Worse movie ever. Worse movie ever. Worse movie ever. For a good laugh, enjoy.
