The Hurricane Heist (2018)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

I’m going to throw myself at the mercy of the court because the first time around, I liked The Hurricane Heist. In my defence, I was tickled by the premise and the potential rather than the execution. This is a dopey movie that makes flabbergasting decisions along the way and some good ones too. You’ll probably laugh at it more often than not but there are good ideas within someone will someday steal and use to greater effect.

As a hurricane descends upon the East Coast, Federal Bank employee Casey (Maggie Grace) is double-crossed by Perkins (Ralph Ineson). He and his team plan on using the storm to cover their tracks while they steal millions from the treasury. To stop them, she teams up with meteorologist Will (Toby Kebbell), whose brother Breeze (Ryan Kwanten) is being held hostage.

Anyone with a functioning brain will immediately spot tell-tale signs this movie isn’t going to be very bright. A pre-title scene has a terrified young Will look into the hurricane that just killed his father and spot a distinctly skull-like cloud leering at him. “Well… he’s a kid. Maybe he just imagined it?” I have to assume so, but then why does it show up again during the film’s climax in present day? Meanwhile, the fields we see Casey and Will race through as they try to catch up to Perkins are bone-dry! I understand they’re in the eye of the storm (a device every hurricane movie uses at some point) but just because it’s sunny doesn’t mean the rest of the wind and rain wasn’t there a second ago!

To be fair, we get plenty of good shots of the devastating storm. Streets are flooded, normally innocent projectiles are flying so fast they could impale you and buildings are barely holding together. We see the devastation, even if the wind's power is inconsistent and the protagonists always manage to avoid flying debris, even when shards of glass are whirling through the air and skewering the bad guys.

The technical flaws are a nitpick. The real problem is the writing. There are so many things that could’ve gone wrong you’re surprised the villains didn’t throw away this scheme while cooking it up in their lair. They needed a hurricane big enough for the entire town to be evacuated to land at the same time as the money drop-off. The thieves also need the hurricane to cover up their crime… which must be done under mounting pressure as they take down the guards they haven’t seduced to their cause, crack access codes, transport the money and then drive allll the way to safety? I understand the movie "needed to happen", that riches are motivating enough but if they were willing to go that far, why not just highjack the truck on the way to the facility instead?

With all of these problems, how could anyone ever think this movie was good enough to endorse? Well, here’s the thing. The hurricane actually serves to spice up what would otherwise be a pretty dull heist movie quite well. In many scenes, characters are either ahead, or in a jam when suddenly… HURRICANE! and things get thrown all out of whack. It isolates our heroes and adds danger to an already dangerous situation. "The Hurricane Heist" had my mind swirlig with possibilities. How about a story where a dedicated police officer is after a prison escapee… in the middle of a giant monster attack? Or a city-wide revenge film while a reccord-breaking snow storm rages outside? There’s got to be something there someone can use.

The Hurricane Heist is ridiculous. The attempts at making the characters endearing fail and the action/chase scenes are exciting but not enough to make you forget how convoluted the plot is, or to overlook the flaws in the special effects and writing departments. Writers Scott Windhauser & Jeff Dixon managed to give the villain a believable, full-rounded arc and the last chase is pretty cool (director Rob Cohen also brought to us the first Fast and Furious, so he knows car action) but despite these legitimately well-made elements, I still feel a little embarrassed at the thought of having seen this movie not once, but twice.

Dead Trigger (2017) rReview

A group of zombie game players go up against the real thing, thankfully prepared for an undead virus outbreak. Based on the game of the same name, opening with poor man’s Paul Verhoeven satirical edge, directors Mike Cuff and Scott Windhauser offer a passable but mediocre low budget zombie yarn. Some makeup effects are executed well for the budget, there’s an abundance of CGI gun fire. Lapses…
