I first saw this on cable tv in the late 90s. Revisited it recently after more than two decades. This film came in the era wher lots of action films were already ruling the box office. Films like Broken Arrow, Face Off, Con Air, Rock, T-2, Speed, Die Hard 3, Point Break, Bad Boys, Mission Impossible, etc. The list is endless.
These movies had already raised audiences expectations n this is one of the reason Hard Rain got sidelined.
Another reason is that during the same era disaster films like Twister, Daylight, Dante's Peak n Volcano, has already satiated the audiences.
The last reason is that audiences were not ready to accept Morgan Freeman as a villain, especially after his performance in Shawshank n Unforgiven.
This film has lots of action n thrill throughout.
I enjoyed it even after so many years. The scene where Freeman goes on a shooting rampage with both hands is amazing.
It has some nasty death scenes, watch out for the guy whose eye gets shot thru his spectacles.
