Critics Consensus

The Hurricane Heist is a throwback to the overblown action thrillers of yesteryear -- and a thoroughly middling example of why they don't make 'em like this anymore.

I watched this on DVD recently. It's much better than the reviews would have you believe. It's well made with decent acting, special effects, and soundtrack. The story's pretty good too, but reminded me of other similar films. The main problem is a hurricane is hardly the ideal weather for filming, so the film is predictably grey and wet. Perhaps one day we'll get a "Heatwave Heist" movie with nice sunny scenes? Back to this, there's nothing to dislike really, and it deserves a recommendation.

Lousy, but somehow managed to be entertaining. Overdone caricature-like Southern accents. So many plot holes you could fit elephants through each one. Dialogue and script were amateurish and lame. Acting was well below average. That said, special effects and visuals were kind of ok. Although the movie was not really boring, the storyline was a messy heap of total nonsense and ridiculousness.

One of those not so great movies that at least will keep your attention. Despite the lack of surprises.

Rob Cohen [...] can surely do better than the terrible CGI, unconvincing tax-break landscapes [...], and wince-making dialogue [...] on display here.

All entirely but watchably absurd, and Kebbell himself carries it off with some style and shows he's got exactly the right leading-man chops.

Keith & the Movies

...the story is so silly and inconsequential, functioning mostly to move from one weather-action scene to the next.

The dopiest weather-related yarn this side of Geostorm.

Film Monthly

The cheapness is neither enraging or endearing, and the film as a whole is just an eyesore that, if anything, lessens the blow of whatever absurdity occurs from time to time.
