Nothing more than mindless action entertainmentSep 14, 2008 Hard Rain is nothing but mindless action entertainment. The film never takes its self really serious which is cool. Morgan Freemen and Christan Slater pretty much give paper thin performances but once again the film is full of action sequences and lots of good special effects. If you want to waste a rainy day then check out Hard Rain.
Loved It!Jul 05, 2008 I loved this movie! It did what it was supposed to do--it entertained me. I love Morgan Freeman and he didn't disappoint me. Christian Slater, Randy Quaid, and the rest of the cast were also very good. I liked it so much that I just purchased it. The negative reviews have me scratching my head.
GREAT FUNJun 02, 2008 A lot of people said Hard Rain was fluff. And it is. Just a fun, at times almost silly, action thriller. It's not Shakespeare - it's just a good story, with some good acting, and a nice ending. Lots of action, things blow up, a romantic angle, etc.. I really enjoyed it more for the rain than anything else. I love to see falling rain, so this movie intrigued me about a flood and constant rain. So it had that "natural disaster" element I enjoy in movies, plus the action. Good value for money.
Thrilling, action, romance, comedy, suspense and dramatic movie.Dec 30, 2007 "Hard Rain" can't lose with such great actors as Morgan Freeman, Christian Slater, Randy Quaid, Minnie Driver and Edward Asner. And, Betty White makes an appearance too. It's a well written, well directed and well acted movie. It has all the makings to win an academy award. Most movies, even ones rated high in the opinion of critics, lack something that makes a person want to see it over again. This is one of the movies I cherish to keep in my library so it can be viewed again and again, then again by posterity.
More fun that it should beMar 14, 2007 While this isn't a great movie it tries so hard to keep you involved that it becomes much more fun than it should be. Christian Slater has always been someone that is fun to watch and here he proves it. Here he's an armored car guard, who with his uncle Ed Asner is taking money from banks around a town that is flooding very fast. Enter Morgan Freeman(always good no matter what) as a very friendly(?) thief who "just want the money" and throw in Randy Quaid as a not so Andy Taylor small town sheriff and then add more water than "Titanic" and "Poseidon" and you have silly but action packed fun. Sit back , turn off the brain , and enjoy "Hard Rain"
