Director: Mikael SalomonYear: 1998
Rated R
Rating: * 1/2 Stars
Cast: Christian Slater, Morgan Freeman, Minnie Driver, Randy Quaid
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 Minnie 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.
