Review of The Hurricane Heist (2018) by Roct67 — 11 Apr 2018
First things first, this movie is definitely no Citizen Kane. Hell, it isn't even a Porkys 2. 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.
