Jesse's Rating: ★ 1/2
Year: 1998
Cast: Christian Slater, Morgan Freeman, Randy Quaid
Genre: Action/Crime/Thriller
MPAA Rating: R
I never thought Morgan Freeman would do a movie just for a paycheck, but I guess even famous rich actors have to pay their bills just like us regular folk. Hard Rain is a robbery movie that takes place in a small town during a massive flood. The plot goes all over the place with unnecessary twists and turns. You really get the feeling that "Rain" just ran out of steam and the writers made up stuff up as it went along. You also really feel sorry for the actors especially Freeman. To make matters worse, oscar nominee Mini Driver shows up a little later with a thankless role. Hard Rain was a January release back in 1998. Critics refer to these types of films as "January Junk." This critic just feels that movies like Hard Rain are "wet" behind the ears. Thumbs down.
