It's big, dumb, noisy, and teeming with idiotic dialogue, yet the finished feature has a certain merry swagger about it that keeps everything motoring right along, and the hook of the film is immaculately presented.

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.

Great opening shot that leads to an action flick that's all wet.

A surprisingly enjoyable thriller.

Overall, HARD RAIN is the kind of film that most people will see, enjoy, and forget five minutes later... entirely adequate.

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.

It impresses because of the way it makes the flood look so vital to the narrative.
