 Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale.Alonso Duralde of "TheWrap" called the film a "satisfying summer thriller," while acknowledging the familiar plot, and writing, ""Skyscraper" doesn't change the action-movie game the way "Die Hard" did, but it's a solidly entertaining summer diversion best enjoyed on the biggest theater — or even better, drive-in — screen you can find.
