Een groep jonge hackers bedenkt een meesterlijk plan om 600 miljoen dollar te stelen van een financiële instelling, en deze heist valt precies samen met de grootste orkaan ooit geregistreerd in de VS. De stad is al geëvacueerd en alleen meteoroloog Will, zijn broer Toby en bewaakster Casey zijn nog over in de verlaten stad. Samen moeten ze niet alleen de orkaan zien te overleven, maar er ook voor zorgen dat de gehaaide dieven er niet met de roof van de eeuw vandoor gaan. (Dutch FilmWorks)

A return to the '90s that won’t offend but will quickly fade from memory (though this doesn’t mean the film was significantly flawed). I might have toned down the glaring digital effects, which sometimes seemed cheap and didn’t do the film’s high budget much justice. On the other hand, I understand that even with a pretty hefty budget, it’s not possible to keep the effects at a top-notch level throughout; it would need to be at least tripled. Rob Cohen has proven capable of making a few decent films, and I don’t see any real issues here. The actors were also fine; the main villain was quite decent, and Maggie Grace as the female protagonist was also acceptable. I enjoyed the two brothers the most, who took on the bad guys like some sort of army. The story itself wasn’t anything special; I expected the bank heist to be in a slightly more elaborate and sophisticated form. It’s definitely not a film to be condemned, but even the over-the-top ending, which could be described in one word as digital chaos, keeps it in average territory. But as a quick watch, it’s entertaining. I give it 61%.
