The Hurricane Heist: wasted plot?2 min read
I usually don’t talk that much about movies I don’t like on the blog. But, for a change, I’ll tell you what I didn’t like in The Hurricane Heist movie, by the producers of Fast & Furious and xXx.
Synopsis
After the announcement of a Category 5 hurricane and the evacuation of the city, thieves decide to break into a highly secure federal building to steal $ 600 million in bills supposed to be destroyed.
GOOD POINT : Mother Nature is on fire 🔥
I usually really love movies like that. Movies where we get to see Mother Nature in action : storms, lightning bolts, wind, tsunami. Hell, I even like this in real life. Not the casualties, obviously but just the “nature-revolting-itself” part. Even though it’s not as harmless as a sunset, it’s as pretty watch.
As much as I could criticise this new motion picture on many aspects, I have to say that the production design part was relatively good. It wasn’t mind-blowing or anything but it was still cinematographically interesting!
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT : LIGHT WRITING
Even if I liked the cast, particularly Toby Kebbell (known for his role in Black Mirror) and Maggie Grace (Twilight, Taken) the acting wasn’t breath-taking either.
If there is one thing that I dislike more than watching bad movies is watching promising plot and images turned into bad movies.
Basically, this movie could have been great, really great. If the writing was a little better, I would have been more lenient on the other aspects. But considering the missed opportunities, I would give it :
Should you watch it?
Okay. So, honestly for once, I wouldn’t really recommend this movie. It did the job of entertaining me but, I’m not sure that if I had to do it again I would pay to see it. So, unless you have an unlimited cinema card or unlimited free time, I would suggest that you see another movie instead.
Here are some movies you could see these days instead :
- Pentagon Papers [5/5⭐️] — Read my review
- The Greatest Showman [5/5⭐️]— Read my review
- Black Panther [4/5⭐️]— Read my review
- The Shape of Water [3.5/5⭐️]— (review coming soon)
Have you seen Hurricane? If you agree or disagree with my opinion, I would love to talk about it with you in the comments!
