Let's Watch! Hard Rain (1998)

<p>A Let&#39;s Watch 25 years in the making. It took Turk182 25 years to watch this movie, after seeing the trailer in theaters. </p> <p>A town under siege by rain. A dam threatening to burst. An armored car carrying millions of dollars. A band of thieves. An ousted sheriff. Christian Slater. BETTY WHITE! </p> <p>Acomi and Turk secure their life vests and watch <em>Hard Rain</em> (1998), originally titled <em>Flood</em>. A movie to stupid to make its money back, even if it could. Over budget due to studio ignorance and a plot that&#39;s beyond nonsensical. <em>Hard Rain</em> makes<em> Hurricane Heist</em> look like <em>The Titanic</em>. Unlike a better disaster movie, such as <em>Twister</em>, which came out two years before it, <em>Hard Rain</em> treats the weather plot as a backdrop instead of another character. Choosing to downplay the serious danger posed by the weather, in favor of the human threats that seem unfazed by it. </p> <p>Coupled with characters that make bad decisions upon bad decisions, a lackluster plot twist (technically two), and a character turn that&#39;s more like a character pivot - &quot;In the next act, turn character alignment slight right.&quot; - it&#39;s a bad movie from stat to overdrawn finish. </p> <p>Join Acomi and Turk as they waddle through this watery quagmire of idiocy. Rumor is, this is the movie that made Randy Quaid crazy. Get your towels ready for <em>Hard Rain</em>. </p> <p>Acomi and Turk182, along the occasional special guest, provide running commentary of awfulsome movie and TV shows.
