Hard Rain (DVD, 1998, Widescreen)

This is one of the best action adventure movies I've ever seen. Rising floodwaters in an Indiana town, coupled with a gang trying to rob an armoured car, give lots of opportunities for boat and jetski chases rather than the usual car chase. Morgan Freeman, being Morgan Freeman, is likable even though he plays the head robber. Minnie Driver is everything an action heroine should be. Instead of screaming & fainting, she takes steps to rescue herself from tough situations, and in one case even rescues hero Christian Slater. Betty White is hilarious as a tough old biddy who ignores the evacuation order, sets beartraps inside her home, and at one point drives her henpecked hubby to row toward the bad guys, declaring he's going to ask them to shoot her, or shoot him, he doesn't care which. HARD RAIN has humor, action, romance, and some unexpected plot twists. Well worth watching.

My son was over here about a week ago and asked if I still had the movie Hard Rain with Christian Slater and Morgan Freeman in it.I didn't but found it on Ebay for him on DVD.He likes movies with a lot of action in them and this one has it.This movie is formatted in Widescreen and he will like it.

I love this movie...It has action,romance, and comedy. It is full of plot twists that keep you wondering what is going to happen next. This movie is one of my favorite movies and has been from the first time I watched it.
