No rain no gain.

You could compare it with Rob Cohen's HURRICANE HEIST, not the story itself but the overall scheme and atmosphere. Heist disaster films are not so common after all. This one, despite being predictable, remains interesting, because you have several levels of characters armored truck drivers, hoodlums and rogue sheriff deputies. Morg Freeman is unusual in a gangster role, though not a brutal criminal either, rather sympathetic compared to the sheriff. Good photography and overall directing, good scenes, it's a shame that Mikael Solomon did not continue in the big screen movies business but instead TV series one.

Fast, exciting action flick with too much shooting (and everyone a bad shot!)

Christian Slater plays an armored truck guard who has to deal with thieves, the crooked police, a fierce Indiana rainfall, and a flooded town while trying to protect three million dollars in the company vehicle. Well-done action flick isn't epic-scale, but does have many suspenseful close-calls and colorful characters, plus good performances by Slater, Morgan Freeman, Minnie Driver, and Richard Dysart and Betty White as an elderly couple who didn't evacuate when they were supposed to. Randy Quaid overplays heinously as a trigger happy sheriff, and the continual shootouts in the final third get repetitive, but this scenario (an entire town slowly being submerged) is exceptionally well-captured and the filmmakers didn't forget to add some good humor into the mix. **1/2 from ****
