Hurricane Heist

I watched The Hurricane Heist last night with my family, we went to the cinema without knowing anything about this film, I thought I was going to watch something like Fast & Furious or Mad Max: Fury Road, but I was wrong. This film has a hurricane and a heist but it's one of the most cheesy action movies I've seen in my life, it's full of plot holes, the character development is weak, I've seen porn movies with a better soundtrack or even with a better cast, and there are a lot of things that doesn't make sense.

Looks like some of those cheesy action films that we used to have during the 80s and 90s. Have you heard "so bad it's good"? I can say The Hurrican Heist is so bad it's kinda enjoyable.

Rating: 4.5/10 It isn't the worst action movie on the world but is very away from to be a good movie.

These are the fakest southern accents I've heard in a long time. And cheesy acting. Also hurricane is blowing away cars and stuff but not people

Ok, so there's more than a few plot holes, ridiculous lines and 'what the hell?' moments, and the sub-plot between the brothers is unnecessary. All that aside, it's actually a pretty enjoyable movie. The acting from the main characters is for the most part solid, the story line was interesting enough to keep me interested for 90 odd minutes, and the effects were top notch. Seems like they really pumped a lot of money into CGI to make up for other shortcomings, and while they exaggerated the power of the storm way too much at times it was still impressive.

If you found movies like 'The Day After Tomorrow' and 'Geostorm' enjoyable you'll more than likely enjoy this too!

When I saw the overall score of 4/10 I didn't expect much. It's far fetched and unrealistic in a lot of areas. However the 100 minutes flew past. It's action packed pretty much all the way through. Ok there's some moments of poor acting and there's plenty of places you will say to yourself "no way would that happen", but overall it's well worth watching. Just don't expect a blockbuster. I thought giving it 5 was a little unfair so I gave it a 6/10.

If you can get away with scientifically inaccurate movies with ridiculous plots, and enjoy a cinematic experience of good CGI and over-the-top action, this is your movie. Forget all those critics who would like all Hollywood movies to be like Gone With The Wind or Amélie and just enjoy this disaster movie.

Also, acting is good and plot makes even more sense than other movies like 2012 or Geostorm. I guess it got bad reviews because, as it uses to be, cast has no well-known actors in it.

If you like movies like Volcano, The Day After Tomorrow, Deep Impact, San Andreas or The Towering Inferno, you will like this flick.
