A perfect storm of action is unleashed in this high-powered thriller from the director of The Fast and the Furious. As a massive hurricane builds, criminals infiltrate a U.S. Mint facility. Their plan: to steal $600 million and escape using a Category 5 hurricane as cover. But a treasury agent and a storm chaser have a plan of their own, desperately racing against time — and the hurricane — to save the hostages and stop the thieves before their town is reduced to rubble.

The plot was boring and cliche. Dad dies, one son goes to school to change the world, other son throws his life away and becomes an alcoholic. Everything that happens after the opening scene is confusing and disorganized. It jumps from one perspective to another every couple minutes. This movie sounded amazing. They had a great idea, but it was poorly executed. A would like to see a remake with a more organized shoot and a thicker story line.

My dad wanted to watch this, he fell asleep in less than 10 minutes while i watched for a few more minutes before i noticed and turned it off. It was boring. All they did was talk on and on about the weather and climate change stuff. The heist seemed to be an afterthought. There was a bit of action in the first few minutes, but it wasn't all that exciting. The rest- just talk. If i wanted to hear all of that, I'd watch the weather channel or the news.

I only watched this because it was the second half of a double feature at my local drive-in movie theater. I'd never heard of the movie before (and neither had anyone else, given how many cars left after the first movie), but I'm not one to waste a ticket, so I decided to stay anyway. And... It's nothing special, really. It's a generic heist movie meets a generic weather disaster movie. Basically, a group of thieves use an incoming hurricane as the perfect opportunity to steal millions of dollars from a government facility right before they're decommissioned and shredded. All they need is the code to the main vault, but our main protagonist, a generic federal agent, does everything she can to keep them from taking the money for themselves. "Generic" is the keyword here. It's unique, but only in the sense that it's a blend of things you've seen before. You could guess how the movie goes just by watching other heist movies and other weather disaster movies. It's not terrible, you can tell whoever made this was actively trying to make this good, or at least make it how they wanted to. Whether or not they accomplished that is up for debate, but it's not terrible. I didn't expect much going in, and I had forgotten most of the movie by the time I got home (although that was probably because it was midnight by that point and I was tired). 3/5 stars. Wasn't amazing, but wasn't terrible either. If you like heist movies and weather disaster movies, you'll at least somewhat enjoy this. Definitely wouldn't watch again, though.
