- 60Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshLos Angeles TimesKatie WalshThe delicious silliness of The Hurricane Heist creeps up on you, because the absolutely wild action sequences as Will weaponizes the hurricane happen with very little fanfare or preparation.
- 60Paste MagazineOktay Ege KozakPaste MagazineOktay Ege KozakIn many ways, The Hurricane Heist’s lack of self-awareness regarding just how dated it feels plays to its advantage. If you’re looking for that 1997 big-budget CG showcase experience without the wink-wink self deprecating irony of The Lonely Island or Deadpool, then you should be fairly satisfied with this cinematic time capsule.
- 58The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyThe A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyA workmanlike cross between a disaster movie and a caper-chase flick...the film never rises to the promise of its awesomely literal title.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerThe Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerDialogue tends toward the eye-rolling variety and performances feel uneven across the board, with the actors using a menagerie of accents, including some dubious Deep South ones, as they shout above all the pounding rain and thunder.
- 40Time OutTime OutStill coasting on once being the director of the first The Fast and the Furious a full 17 years ago, Rob Cohen is unable to muster true engagement with the banal plot and characters, or deliver the kind of inspired ridiculousness that makes for a guilty pleasure.
- 30Village VoiceBilge EbiriVillage VoiceBilge EbiriThe Hurricane Heist delivers what it promises on some basic level; it’s got plenty of hurricane, and it’s got plenty of heist. But those looking for Sharknado-style idiocy will probably be disappointed, as will those looking for anything that makes sense. That might be the film’s fundamental problem.
- 30VarietyAndrew BarkerVarietyAndrew BarkerThe Hurricane Heist is...a perfect storm of deliriously watchable inanity and ineptitude. It may be a strong early candidate for the worst movie of 2018, but don’t let that deter you – bad movies this fun don’t come along every day.
- 25Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreAside from those random moments, this is an utter excrement storm, from start to finish. And as bad as the acting, nonsensical plot and dialogue are, there’s not a laugh in this thing — intentional or unintentional.
- 25RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiRogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiOne of the dumbest variations of the weather-based action thriller subgenre that I have ever seen, you can be rest assured that I know what I am talking about.
- 10TheWrapAlonso DuraldeTheWrapAlonso DuraldeDo not shelter yourself from the silliness of The Hurricane Heist. Put down your umbrella, throw your arms open wide and get soaked with its idiocy.
