Hard Rain is pure water torture.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 9, 2018

Virtually nothing that takes place here is believable for a moment, beginning with the idea that all these people would expend all their energies trying to shoot one another when they are so imperiled to begin with.

The flood rises, the night grows murky, and it becomes clear that the more water there is on screen, the less room there is for anything of interest to happen.

| Original Score: C- | Dec 17, 2008

Hard Rain may not be the most inventive of thriller plots, essentially boiling down to an extended chase with all concerned after the moneybags, but it's extremely impressive as a physical production.

For all the talent and effort involved, ''Hard Rain'' turns out to be routine entertainment.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 24, 2001

Asner, the film's strongest presence, exits early.

Hard Rain is one of those movies that never convince you its stories are really happening. From beginning to end, I was acutely aware of actors being paid to stand in cold water.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 1, 2000

A rollicking cat-and-mouse thriller in bad weather.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2000

It's really just a good-natured mess, shifting tones from scene to scene, piling on the deaths, the silly jokes, and -- when all else fails -- the water, just to keep things going.
