Margie (Rachel Nielsen) is a genius young meteorologist who might just have invented a machine that might neutralize tornadoes - but due to her penchant for perfection she might just never test it if it wasn't for fellow meteorologist Bobbi (Shelby Hightower), a woman who lives in the here and now, and when she spots a funnel storm in the area, she would never have the self confidence to test it. And hey, their experiment proves to be successful, too - there's just the problem that they've run into two bankrobbers (Graham Wolfe, Xavier Michael) who have after a successful heist got their money funnelled off by the storm and now want to seize the girls' machine to get it back. And there's also this influencer (Rachel Aspen) getting into everybody's way because she fails to grasp the scope of the situation, and so it doesn't take long before a shot is fired ...

Now this is basically Sharknado, with money replacing sharks - and it's a whole lot funnier, too - and that said, I don't by any means want to say Cash Storm is in any way derivative of the earlier movie, as actually it isn't, it's just based on a similarly silly premise involving twisters. Thing is, Cash Storm never leaves any doubt about the idiocy of its premise, but doesn't let that prevent it to get a pretty solid story out of it. And while the film's full of genre tropes, it subverts them playfully and plays the whole thing for laughs without ever going full moronic. To put it another way, this might be a tad silly - but it's also a lot of fun, just a really entertaining disaster movie comedy/parody.
