Reviews:

Outrageous, if not inconsistent, slapstick comedy that has its charm I suppose and is a nice, easy watch if you’re not looking for anything serious. However, I’d prefer putting on The Naked Gun if I was looking for something similar and done better. **3.0/5**

Sincere comedy caper sort of lost in translation

RELEASED IN 1991 and directed by Michael Lehmann, “Hudson Hawk” stars Bruce Willis as the titular expert cat burglar who has just been released from prison and intends on going straight, but he’s blackmailed by the eccentric Mayflower couple (Richard E. Grant & Sandra Bernhard) into stealing works of Leonardo da Vinci for a gold-making machine that will destroy the world’s economy. Danny Aiello plays Hawk’s partner and Andie MacDowell his maybe babe. James Coburn is on hand as a top CIA agent.

The film advertises right out of the gate that it’s a goofy comedy, a parody of caper/spy flicks. The creators & cast bend over backwards to amuse the audience, but there are too few lulls to catch your breath. It’s an almost constant barrage of over-the-top camp and comedy. I laughed several times, but too often I didn’t. Still, it’s a likable albeit curious throwaway comedy and should especially be worthwhile for fans of the cast. It cost an incredible $65 million (no doubt due to the costly globetrotting) and understandably flopped at the box office.

THE MOVIE RUNS 1 hour, 40 minutes and was shot in California, New York, New Jersey, Italy, Vatican City, Hungary and London. WRITERS: Story by Bruce Willis & Robert Kraft; screenplay by Steven E. de Souza & Daniel Waters.

GRADE: C

What The…
I’m torn on HUDSON HAWK. After watching it, part of me went, “What the hell was that?” But another part suggested that maybe I wasn’t hip enough to “get” what it was trying to do. Part of me thought it was a completely ridiculous waste of time. Part of me thought it was just good, clean fun.

Though certainly not for everybody, there are enough redeeming qualities in HUDSON HAWK to avert its dismissal as a multimillion-dollar turkey. Bruce Willis is Eddie “Hudson Hawk” Hawkins, a cat burglar intent on retiring but who is forced to steal Da Vinci works of art for a (gasp!) world domination plot. Along for the ride are Tommy Five-Tone (Danny Aiello), mysterious nun Anna Baragli (Andie MacDowell) and conniving bad guy George Kaplan (recognize that name?) played by the late James Coburn.

The plot sounds like it could have made for a good DIE HARD-style caper, but director Michael Lehmann had other ideas. As he reveals in the DVD version’s audio commentary, HUDSON HAWK was meant first and foremost as a comedy. Trouble is, it was promoted more as a Bruce Willis action blockbuster. Audiences were left scratching their heads as their favorite tough guy engaged in Stooge-like slapstick, sipped cappuccino and, most astoundingly, crooning Crosby classics.

Not that mistaken expectations are the only thing wrong here. Indeed HUDSON HAWK is simply too silly for its own good. The gags frequently fall flat, nearly embarrassing the talented performers involved. The plot is overly convoluted, and Richard E. Grant and Sandra Bernhard as the villainous Mayflowers are a bit hard to take. At its lowest points, you’ll be astounded something like this could receive a theatrical release.

To get the most out of HUDSON HAWK, go in with an open mind. It’s unlike anything you’ve seen before — in both good and bad ways.

Catch the Hawk!
Yes, it was terribly bashed by critics. Well, what do they know? It’s too bad that in the movie industry something this original is cast aside as stupid and pointless and we’re left with such pearls that are obviously rip-offs of each other. This has action, comedy, romance, intrigue, music, madness, slapstick, all rolled into one neat bundle. I wish Bruce Willis and Michael Lehmann would be brave enough to get together and treat us to Hudson Hawk 2. I’m sure Danny and Andie would gladly come back for more Hawk, and I can only dream of the insanities and the commentaries that could be presented nowadays, on our total PC age. Politics, society, religion, the movie industry, it’s all tackled at here, and could be done again! And the lines! Wow, this movie is almost entirely quotable! Come on guys, think of a sequel! It’s not like Bruce Willis is doing any incredible movie these days…

And if you haven’t seen this because somebody told you it was a bad movie, open your mind and go watch it now! You won’t be disappointed! I guarantee you’ll be whistling “Swinging on a Star” when it’s over!
