Unlikely to win any awards but a decent, if run-of-the mill, heist plot. Clever use of weather at times. Sometimes over-the-top.

Mostly poor. <em>'The Hurricane Heist'</em> is an OK disaster film but is majorly let down by the up and down special effects and largely plain acting. I did enjoy the ending, which is very <em>'The Fast and the Furious'</em>-esque - little surprise to learn that Rob Cohen directs both. Cast-wise it's underwhelming. Maggie Grace (Casey) is the standout, it's cool to see her in something other than <em>'Taken'</em>. Toby Kebbell (Will) is the best of the rest, though he and the others are pretty dull. Better onscreen talent needed. The overall story is alright, even with its clunky twists. The effects, as noted, are lame for the majority but one or two scenes look decent. It could've been a lot worse, the third act certainly improves my feelings towards this film.
