Seagal and Anna Nicole do have many things in common: they both struggle with their acting, they both struggle with their action scenes, and they’re both pleasantly plump. Instead of a water treatment plant, they got Anna Nicole. It wasn’t the location that needed to be changed, it’s the star. So it really doesn’t matter that the action was moved from a skyscraper to a skyscraper (as if we, as viewers, were having trouble understanding that, they felt the need to call the movie Skyscraper). But that’s the issue: this is really just standard fare, with only the novelty of the Anna Nicole stunt casting to set it apart. How they ever got the idea to put this plotline in a skyscraper, we’ll never be able to figure out. Of course, usually a DieHardInA movie takes the Die Hard template and moves it to a certain location, like a water treatment plant or a hockey game. Now we can proudly add to that storied list Anna Nicole Smith, who was the obvious choice to stand in for Bruce Willis in a classic 90’s Die Hard knockoff (or “DieHardInA” movie - see our review for Sudden Death to see a comprehensive list).
