If you want a braindead actionmovie when you’re lying half dead hungover, this is not a bad choice. A couple cool actionscenes and decent special effects but other than that its shit.
It’s like a bad mixture of Hard Rain, Twister, The Fast and the Furious and The Day After tomorrow..
Why they cast one Aussie and one Brit to play two brothers from the south, i dont get... the accents are terrible.
I love both Toby Kebbel and Ryan Kwanten(which is why i bough it on Blu-ray) but this movie was a swing and a miss..
4/10
PS: the jump from the towtruck to the semi at aprox 1h23m is so bad i cried laughing!! 5 years 3 months ago -

If The Hurricane Heist had been a heist movie taking place during a disaster movie, I think that would have been a better premise. But the thieves aren't our heroes, even if the theft of 600 million in old money set to be shredded feels like the kind of victimless crime heists thrive on. Instead this is Die Hard in a class-5 hurricane, and that's not necessarily a bad place to start. Our heroes are really a meteorologist with a Bat-tank, his loser brother (both orphaned in a hurricane) and Maggie Grace (Taken) sounding and styled like Charleze Theron as an ATF officer looking for redemption. An international cast of mostly unknowns, doing all sorts of weird Southern accents. You think, cinematic disaster in the making, right? But no, it's actually pretty enjoyable. The physics are dodgy, but the way the weatherman uses the hurricane to fight the bad guys is gonzo in latter-day Fast and Furious way (Rob Cohen directed the original F&F, before it was actually crazy and fun, but he seems to have learned from later films). Lots of twists, unusual character-building scenes, and neat action, so I'm giving this a "dumb fun" rating. 11 months 1 week ago -
