Hard Rain (DVD)

...few people have heard of Hard Rain but all those that have seen it like it. I think it is excellent. It takes an original approach to the action movie and it proves successful providing a feast for the eyes. The plot is pretty straightforward. In the worst storm in history security guards are sent to collect all the money from all the banks that are likely to flood. The armoured van then gets caught in the flood and before the guards know it they ...
...Jim (Morgan Freeman) plan on stealing the money but one of the guards (Christian Slater) has other ideas. He hides the money then the chase is on. The plot has numerous twists, which you can’t see coming so you attention will be kept at all times. It certainly proves to be different from the average action flick. The acting is excellent from the all-star cast. Christian Slater, from Broken Arrow, is superb as the Security guard that stands ...

Review of Hard Rain (DVD)

After seeing this I began to like Christian Slater as an actor, not rating him before. But in ‘Hard Rain’ he really does himself proud. The film is really enjoyable, filled with action, comedy and a small bit of romance (with help from Minnie Driver). The film also includes Morgan Freeman and Randy Quaid. Leaving an all-star cast. The special effects are worth seeing and the movie is shot well. About the movie The film starts with two men, trying ...

It is up to Slater to prevent the money from falling into the wrong hands, to do his he hides the money and after being accidentally arrested by church keeper – Minnie Driver, he tries to get help from local sheriff – Randy Quaid. The film has lots of twists and turns, so I will ...

Review of Hard Rain (DVD)

Hard Rain although not well known is a good all rounder film.It stars Christian Slater who has finally managed to get rid of the idea that his looks are the only good thing about him, and has proven how good an actor he really is. Morgan Freeman also excells in this film, and for once plays a baddie who we manage to grow to like. The film revolves around a mixed up hijacking pliot, the attempt to steal thousands of dollars from an armed truck, the ...
...horrific storm where everywhere is flooded. Slater, one of the guards manages to hide the money, but he ends up getting more than he bargained for, with the film climaxing with a hostage situation after a long action packed chase.I better mention that on eof the hostages is Minnie Driver who acts as well as she normally does. She's also the love interest of Slater. What you think is taking place isn't and there's many twists and turns to keep you ...

Review of Hard Rain (DVD)

Hard rain is outstanding. This movie was greatly underestimated and I don't even think it made it to the cinema near me. I saw it on video and was amazed that it didn't make a huge dent in the box office takings. This movie is a fast paced action thriller that stars Christian Slater as the hero. The action is excellant with explosions jet ski chases and of course shootouts. The plot is very original with some superb twists in the tale to keep you ...

Review of Hard Rain (DVD)

This movie is about a truck been robbed during a flood. The drivers are played Christian Slater and Edward Asner. Morgan Freeman wants the money. Both Slater and Freeman play cat and mouse though out the movie. Also the local sheriff get word of the money. Eventually it ends up in all out war. While all this going on, the local dam is about to burst. The special effects are great. The action is none stop. Betty White and some one else stars as two ...

Review of Hard Rain (DVD)

Slater backslides in the sort of action and this time incarnates a security guard that is victim of a holdupheaded by a Morgan Freeman who carries out an interpretation very flojilla. The film bases its originality on its location: a town flooded because of rains but of original has little more because the personages are quite typical and its attitude is quite foreseeable in spite of the relative side changes that do. These desire to give importance ...
...that is thanked for because films of this type do not have because to be an interminable destruction of adversaries. As I have already said the interpretation of Freeman is very loose perhaps because it moves away of esteoreotipo of bad malísimo so own of the villains of Hollywood but it does not manage to convince of any way. So we have in our hands a film of action with certain original elements but that they are not sufficient to make leave it ...

I thought Hard rain was very good film. This movie is about a truck been robbed during a flood. The drivers are played by Christian Slater and Edward Asner. Morgan Freeman wants the money. The plot is basically-there is a bad storm and the town is evacuated. Christian Slater (tom)is in charge of rescuing £3,000,000 dollars, but a group of theives plan to get it off of him. Both Slater and Freeman play cat and mouse though out the movie. This movie ...

Review of Hard Rain (DVD)

This film is one of those classic american-chinese cross culture flicks, where a mission is set, and no matter how many sword weilding, kung fu masters get in Kirky's way, no one can stop him. He is a man on a mission to avenge his brother's murder. With major suspicion against the chinese mafia, Kurt Douglas hunts down his bro's killers with style, sofistication and lady luring pizzaz. The action is pretty much non stop, but if you want top thrills ...
...as the detail gets more indepth, yet still that good old grose cinematography where you actually get to see some capelaries and what have you in action. Anyway my opinion is nothing but good news for this film, I saw it on video cause i was too young for when it came out in cinemas, or i guess it did. ...

This film bored me for so long that I felt like I was about to sleep. Once i was finished the film I was thouroghly bored and I wanted something to do. It was boring because the animation wasn't very good the plot didn't have any depth and it lacked decent acting. This along with a lot of water, that we everything down, made the wholes troy a trudge from start to finish. One thing taht I did like was how they managed to flood such a large amount ...
