The Hurricane Heist

Buying a ticket for “the Hurricane Heist”expecting Laurence Olivier to blow Marlon Brando on screen. Out of nowhere peanut butter commercial instead. This is a movie that would’ve thrived 25 years ago playing nonstop as filler on TBS weekends trapping dads to the screen.

There are a few stellar moments of hilarity, like some legendarily poor CGI, the concept of a sleeping dart machine gun and a wonderful conversation about name-brand PB&J ingredients that ends with "Correctamundo," but overall this is a pretty bad piece of trash. It'll be great for inebriated Friday night hate-watching, but after a certain point, things get so banal and unimportant that you start rooting for the hurricane.

A dumb movie with some morons planning a heist during a hurricane. More reviews here : http://movie-freak.be

It works on so many retarded levels that it ends up being the best disaster movie in quite some time. Some scenes are just amazing -- SKULL STORM that chases the brothers starting and ending the movie, the entire mall sequence is masterpiece -- and the brothers story kind of work, too. Total silliness in the final act -- trucks battling for space in the storm's eye -- and some vitality in villains trials -- the scene betrayal is cool. This would've been truly if directed by Harlin.

THE HURRICANE HEIST is pure junk food: a delicious chunk of high-concept garbage, an ideal treat for your cinematic cheat day. The supremely overqualified cast brings just the right amount of professionalism to what is essentially a pulpy airport bookstore paperback come to life. Constantly escalating its level of insanity, the film eschews physics and logic to focus on what's important, like the ingredients of a superior PB&J sandwich, and the destructive potential of a hubcap in 100 mph winds.

Yeah, this is a bad movie, but it's also fucking hilarious, so go see it.

Objectivement les scènes d'action ne sont pas mauvaises, autant les affrontements, que les déchaînements climatiques. L'intrigue est pauvre, et parsemée de rôles secondaires très caricaturaux, comme le couple de méchants ridicules. Les acteurs font le job, Kwanten est très sexy dans le rôle du grand frère. Un film à se réserver pour dimanche pluvieux.

I was hoping for F&F meets Twister, but what I got was Hard Rain with wind, which actually sounds about as uncomfortable as most of this viewing experience was. In the right mood, this cheap effects actioner will pass the time and does have some unintentionally funny moments but otherwise it's largely forgettable.

There’s an art to the mid-budget action film. It once held its place as the vehicle for fledgling below-the-line professionals to hone their skills, rising actors to get some experience, and a film for Dads of all ages to fall asleep to on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Yes, this peanut better advert is stupid but that’s not the point. We need more Hurricane Heists.

Loud and dumb, yup that's it.

Big dumb fun movie that is literally a quasi remake of Hard Rain.

A pretty fine no-brainer (with some surprisingly solid action scenes) that would have been better without the silly hurricane angle.

This film is not silly enough. The premise is outrageous and the script takes it self way to seriously. The actors do their job but they cannot make up for the weak script. Overall this film is disappointing.

Filmin konusu saçma. Mantıksal hatalar bol. Oyunculuklar bir an evvel bitsin kurtulalım bu projeden gibi olmuş. Görsel efektleri harika. Bu konuda hakkını yemem. Ryan Kwanten in işyerinde boxerla yatıp kalkması ilginç. Filmin sonu da afişte görüyorsunuz anlatmaya gerek yok.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Early character moments to establish everyone is an asshole- the treasury agent honks at a traffic jam and then rams the car in front of her, control room guy throws a candy bar over his shoulder, the storm guy video chats and drives (taking his eyes off the road frequently). Chekov's minigun is in the back of the green trucks, never fired. Odd shift where villain avoids killing then starts threatening everyone. Windows on tow truck shop- unbroken. PB&J & piss breaks.

I'm so glad I didn't see this in a theater. As a TV movie (or one to see in an airplane), it's entertaining enough. As one to spend the price of a movie ticket on when there are so many other, far better quality choices, it was terrible.

Action pack and totally unbelievable. Why else would you want to watch this.

I tried to hate watch this sober to appreciate an episode of HDTGM but it's just too damed boring. Hurricane Heist? More like Dullicazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Just an Action Adventure movie, not more not less.

worth a watch

Generic and boring, not even the special effects are up to par.

I thought going in that the main characters were the thieves - I'm not sure why.

Good effects and a fun popcorn movie.

It's dumb, and I'm fine with that.

More like Hurricane Yikes. Lots of unrealistic action scenes, which completley removes any possibility of the movie being slightly good. Also, since when has a federal agent been able to crash into cars, just because she is stuck in traffic with no reprecussions? Really bad movie, and most of these actors have a terrible accent. Ralph Ineson, from Game of Thrones is the only one that tries to save this failure of the movie.
