The Hurricane Heist (2018)

Well i liked it, i love action and this as a lot of it. Its not going to win an Oscar but i really loved it.

A robbery in a sick hurricane WOW

Fmovies: I completely in awe. From the opening scene to the ultimate grand finale, this film excelled in unimaginable ways. For starters, I can truly tell that they had top, world renowned scientific advisors that confirmed the reliasm of each scene. I am a Harvard graduate, just like the great rapper Lil Pump, and I feel that this masterpiece can be used to educate this countries first responders and inspire future world leaders to solve major conflicts across the continent.

Not only did this movie affect me on a personal level, but it has inspired me to become a professional storm chaser. I have spent my entire life savings ($300) modifying my 2001 Honda Civic to protect me in my storm chasing endeavors. Wish me luck, I will need it since I am aiming to chase whatever Hurricane arises in the future.

Sincerely,

Story seems thrown together! A lot of money spent for really bad acting! Caught myself asking Why am I watching this?? I have enjoyed many farfetched movies, isn't that the point of being entertained but this movie was terrible in many ways. 1. Characters back story (not relevant- who cares) 2. Acting. 3. Action sequences leaving you saying Seriously. 4. You really don't care about the main characters. FYI. Wrote this during the movie cause it was never ending.

The Hurricane Heist fmovies. 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.

Let me be clear, The Hurricane Heist is one of the worst-made theatrical films I have ever seen. It's plot jumps all over the place, it has too many underdeveloped characters, its incredibly implausible, and has terrible acting and special effects. HOWEVER... I highly recommend viewing it if you love so-bad-it's-good films like The Room and Troll 2. Me and my girlfriend could not stop laughing during the entire movie (as was another group in our screening). Unintentional hilarity is constant, whether it's the main character's horrific Southern accent, cringey product placement, or hilariously overblown action scenes. I love that The Hurricane Heist came out in 2018, in a year filled with darkness and depression, sometimes we need a good old-fashioned terrible action movie to laugh out asses off to!

There are times when all I want to do is to sit in a darkened movie theater, turn off my brain, and let a movie with a silly, over-the-top premise wash all over me. THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS films are an example of an "A" in this category. Last year's GEOSTORM was a "B" (it was so over-the-top that it was fun, especially when the meteorologist declared - as if he was reciting Shakespeare - "Oh my God, it's a GEOSTORM!"). Unfortunately, a "C" example of this is THE HURRICANE HEIST.

Directed by Rob Cohen - who brought us the original FAST AND FURIOUS film lo' those many years ago - THE HURRICANE HEIST tells the tale of a HEIST set during a...anyone?...HURRICANE. That's pretty much all you need to know of the plot. The rest is action, escapes, weather gone bad, bad guys being bad guys and good guys being good guys.

The good guys are Toby Kebbel (so good as the motion capture bad-guy ape in DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES), perennial "B"-movie actress Maggie Grace (TAKEN, LOST and the immortal HOT GIRL, FAST CAR, EATING A BANANA) and Ryan Kwanten (I guess he was in TRUE BLOOD). What do these good guys have in common? They are not hard to look at on the screen. The two men also have really bad Southern accents.

The bad guys are led by Ralph Ineson ( a perennial "that guy" in such films as STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE) and a host of "red shirts". The problem is that Ineson plays his bad guy role as a "that guy" and the "red shirts" have no personality at all. One guy tries to be the "loose cannon" but he doesn't go far enough, nor does Ineson or ANY of the bad guys.

Oh...did I mention Ben Cross (Sarek in the new STAR TREK films)? Cross leaped off the screen in the Oscar winning film CHARIOTS OF FIRE way back in 1981 and was going to be "the next big thing". How has that worked out for him? I'm sure he's making a nice living, but...

But...you don't come to this kind of films for the acting. You come to it for the insane premise, the over-the-top acting, the out-of-this-world stunts and special effects. Unfortunately, THE HURRICANE HEIST plays each one of these "safely". The premise is insane, just not insane enough. The acting is melodramatic - just not over-the-top. The script doesn't really have any "oh-my-gosh, did he just say that" lines and the action, stunts and special effects are pretty good, (maybe even good), but not great.

A pretty mediocre time at the movies. It did serve it's purpose, I turned my brain off for two hours. I just wish it didn't power down as well.

Letter Grade: C (thanks for trying)

5 (out of 10) stars and you can take that to the Bank(ofMarquis)
