i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

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.

I feel obligated to tell you, anyone who scored this less than a 7 probably has a miserable home life and if they are movie critics, well, perhaps they shouldn't be. Nobody cares to hear your whinging about how this person didn't do this and that person didn't do that, the fact of the matter was there was absolutely nothing wrong with the acting in this movie. Was the plot outrageous? Yes, idiots, it was meant to be, the movie was called hurricane heist, what did you think you were in for? I went to this movie to have a good time and that's what I had. I hadn't seen Maggie Grace since Lost and she did a fine job, along with Toby Kebbell, Ryan Kwanton, and Ralph Ineson, who is quickly moving up the ranks of Hollywood bad guys lol! I enjoyed this movie as much as Twister or Into the Storm, maybe even more as it adds an extra element to the story. To those who didn't like it, maybe have a look at yourself before criticizing the movie.

I rented this movie and could only stomach the first 38 minutes before I quit. The premise looked pretty good but putting it into practice was a challenge the director and actors just weren't up to.First off, the acting was just ludicrous and the dialogue was laughable. It was apparent that the director had disdain for southerners because the actors portraying characters that were from the Gulfport area all talked like they should have been standing out in a cornfield or trying to keep from falling off a turnip truck.Second, and most ridiculously, the team of robbers who break into the Treasury facility take out about a dozen highly trained, well armed security personnel with tranquilizer darts, and not a one of the highly trained guards is able to score a hit with a real weapon. Not one.Then, listening to the two supposed hackers speak cyber babble while they tried to defeat the vaults encrypted lock was just to stupid to keep wasting my time. The special effects, up to the point that I checked out, weren't groundbreaking and might have gotten better as things wore on, but having seeing the trailer, I doubt it.

By no means should you be taking a movie titled Hurricane Heist seriously. This is for the schlock crowd. Sure, it's played straight by the actors, but the humor comes from the sheer ridiculousness of the premise. It's silly and nonsensical, but it's a very well made movie-although the CG isn't good at parts (but maybe that's intentional). All the actors do a fine job. The pacing is good and I found myself actually really enjoying the final action scene. So if you want a lighthearted b-movie I'd suggest giving it a shot.
