Leave your thoughts about The Hurricane Heist.
| Film Freak CentralBryant FrazerIt's an impressive level of craft brought to bear in the service of nothing more than filling out your lazy Saturday afternoon. |
| Solzy at the MoviesDanielle SolzmanA big budget spectacle from the outside looking in, The Hurricane Heist lacks in just about every department. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda Cook'The Hurricane Heist' is so bad, it's good. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonA peanut-butter-in-my-chocolate movie, this Die Hard meets Twister monster is so ludicrous it comes all the way back around to being awesome and hilarious. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfCohen believes he's being cheeky, but he overshoots B-movie goofiness by a country mile, transforming "The Hurricane Heist" into a test of endurance. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayIf the words "hurricane" and "heist" translate into the words "must" and "see", this is the movie for you. |
| Midwest Film Journal Nick RogersThe most persuasive movie jail parole hearing in years, Rob Cohen's latest is genially goofy action reliant on both strong stunt work and cheerily second-rate visual effects. Whatever pun title you throw its way ("Dante's Leak"?) is out of affection. |
| The Times of IndiaZeenia BariaMore than just a regular 'save the earth' film, this one combines an offbeat plot with some decent special effects to make it an interesting watch. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderA skillfully made formula flick that in a previous era would have starred someone named Skeet or Keanu. |
| The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyA workmanlike cross between a disaster movie and a caper-chase flick...the film never rises to the promise of its awesomely literal title. |
