The Hurricane Heist

THE GIST: A group of highly-skilled and ruthless thieves is planning to rob a US Treasury Mint located along the Gulf coast just as a monster hurricane is about to make landfall. A dedicated Treasury employee, along with a couple of brothers who got caught in the storm, will have to try and stop them.

The Hurricane Heist offers plentiful action and mind-boggling visual effects, but not much else in the form of an impressive tale.

Sure, the heist is intriguing to watch as it unfolds, but it seems like the characters are just going through the motions.

I will admit that a primary reason for me to watch this was the gorgeous Ryan Kwanten (he of the True Blood series), who does what he can along with Toby Kebbell and Maggie Grace.

Ralph Ineson is a pretty mean baddie also.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Certainly bound to keep your attention throughout, but quickly forgotten afterwards.
