Review of Hard Rain (1998) by Jay L — 18 Sep 2014
Most action films have several action sets in one film which tries to give the audience a different thrill from one scene to another. Hard Rain only has one action set which is the movie's downfall.
The whole film takes place during a flood which leads to the same types of scenarios. Basically we get guns, boats, jet skis, and, of course, water. Hard Rain is definitely mindless entertainment, but all is not lost.
We get Morgan Freeman as a criminal, Christian Slater as a hero (not a bad hero at that), and the eccentric Randy Quaid as a corrupt sheriff. Generally, you would just add water to make the perfect recipe, but adding water to this plot just made for sloppy filmmaking.
