The Hurricane Heist

Director
Rob Cohen
Certificate
12A
Running Time
103 mins

This one feels as though it belongs on the Syfy Channel alongside the likes of Sharknado, but it’s actually budgeted at $35m – some of which could at least have been spent on the script – and directed by Rob Cohen, whose credits include the first Fast and the Furious flick.

If our divided country can’t come together over a movie this wonderfully terrible, what hope do we really have?”
