The delicious silliness of The Hurricane Heist creeps up on you, because the absolutely wild action sequences as Will weaponizes the hurricane happen with very little fanfare or preparation. Read full review

In many ways, The Hurricane Heist’s lack of self-awareness regarding just how dated it feels plays to its advantage. If you’re looking for that 1997 big-budget CG showcase experience without the wink-wink self deprecating irony of The Lonely Island or Deadpool, then you should be fairly satisfied with this cinematic time capsule.

It’s far from the perfect storm, but The Hurricane Heist is stupid fun with a belter of a final sequence. Like the sound of a film called ‘The Hurricane Heist’? Then you’ll probably enjoy The Hurricane Heist. Read full review

Still coasting on once being the director of the first The Fast and the Furious a full 17 years ago, Rob Cohen is unable to muster true engagement with the banal plot and characters, or deliver the kind of inspired ridiculousness that makes for a guilty pleasure. Read full review

The Hurricane Heist is...a perfect storm of deliriously watchable inanity and ineptitude. It may be a strong early candidate for the worst movie of 2018, but don’t let that deter you – bad movies this fun don’t come along every day. Read full review

The Hurricane Heist delivers what it promises on some basic level; it’s got plenty of hurricane, and it’s got plenty of heist. But those looking for Sharknado-style idiocy will probably be disappointed, as will those looking for anything that makes sense. That might be the film’s fundamental problem. Read full review

Do not shelter yourself from the silliness of The Hurricane Heist. Put down your umbrella, throw your arms open wide and get soaked with its idiocy. Read full review

While there are ridiculous aspects about this whole thing, it's got sufficient action and weather-related calamity to keep it entertaining in a purely popcorn mode.… Expand

What it is, though, is a delightfully daft, couple of hours of leave your brain at home and have fun. Cohen, though slightly let down by disappointing CGI, brings us a heist movie the likes of which any other director would probably have looked at the script and wondered if the writers were using too much prescription medication. What he does bring us is a silly B movie, with laughs and thrills a plenty. The actors certainly chew their scenes with relish, yes I'm looking at you Mr Cross, however with an enthusiasm that rubs of and delivers plenty of fun for your buck. He even gives MS Grace a slightly more interesting character than the shovelling, spoilt brat she has been lumbered with this past few years. See it on a Friday night after a couple beers and hopefully you'll leave smiling at how preposterous it all is but made by folks who didn't care and just wanted to entertain. On that level, it definitely works.… Expand

That strange case in which is as bad as it is ridiculous that somehow ends up working.

I gave it a 5..for the special effects only! I guess anything goes in movies nowadays. Not only is the plot not plausable. But the acting is TV rating stuff only. This seems like a nice movie for HBO or TNT. Good thing I got a free ticket to see this.

"The Hurricane Heist" was a regular story, although the story and the plot were good, the performances were generic, and the special effects were cheap and bad. But it is also a crazy idea.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Totally inaccurate **** a hurricane does not move like this 9ne, the storm surge moves in BEFORE the storm and not with the eyewall, also, a hurricane does not dissipate like this one did at the end of the movie. It's total ****… Expand
