Hackers attempt to steal $600mil from the US treasury during a national weather emergency in this thriller from xXx director Rob Cohen.
Under the threat of a hurricane, opportunistic criminals infiltrate a US Mint facility to steal $600 million for the ultimate heist. When the hurricane blows up into a lethal Category 5 storm and their plans go awry, they find themselves needing a vault code known only by one Treasury Agent (Maggie Grace), a need that turns murderous.

Lives up to the name
There is nothing special here but ultimately it delivers on all expectations and promises. A fun action movie about a big heist in a big hurricane. It does get off to a shaky start, introducing us to a large number of characters briefly and instantly expecting us to remember them, however once it finds it's feet around 1/2 an hour in it moves from one crazy...

Variety
pressIt 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.

Time Out
pressUnable to muster true engagement with the banal plot and characters, or deliver the kind of inspired ridiculousness that makes for a guilty pleasure.

The Times
pressUnforgivably more boring than bad, this has characters, dialogue and music of a quality that would come free with a make-your-own-action-movie kit, while the special effects are anything but.

The Guardian
pressAll entirely but watchably absurd, and Kebbell himself carries it off with some style and shows he's got exactly the right leading-man chops.

Hollywood Reporter
pressDialogue tends toward the eye-rolling variety and performances feel uneven across the board...
