Movie Reviews of Hudson Hawk
Movie Review: Oh, the Pope warned me never to trust the CIA!
Summary: 5 Stars
First let me say that this movie gets slammed way to hard by everyone. Not just Movie Critics, but by the common people too, even me. take this example for instance. I have "With Nails : The Film Diaries of Richard E. Grant" in my bookshelf, and my housemate at the time was checking out my room because he just moved in. He saw the book and we started talking about the movies Richard has done, then Hudson Hawk came up. I shot it down and talked about how it "borrowed" from John Woo's "Once a Thief". But I was perplexed as to why there is someone with somewhat good taste praising this movie. I rented it and saw it for a second time, and I loved it. So you should do the same.It's about a world famous cat burglar (as if there was any other kind) played by Bruce Willis in one of his best roles. He goes by Hudson Hawk and is just getting done with his prison time. The Hawk meets up with his old buddy (the annoying Danny Aiello who I will try not to bring up anymore in this review) and makes an attempt at leading a normal life. But alas he is pulled back into "the life" for one more crime. To steal a work of art that is about to be auctioned off. He and his buddy (ugh) pull it off, and life goes on. But looking at the paper, it's as though the theft never happened, so the Hawk goes to the auction and we meet Andie McDowell (How come she and Danny get jobs in Hollywood and I don't? I'm better looking and have more character and charisma than them, but then so do rocks), and we meet the Mayflowers as well (Richard E Grant and Sandra Bernhart in their best roles ever) and after that hilarity ensues. We meet some crazy CIA operatives, the pope watching Mr Ed, Lee Marvin as a rogue CIA agent, a butler that would give Oddjob a run for his money, some great song and dance routines, and a few twists before twists became trendy.
I know that you have some little part of you that wants to see this, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten this far in the review. It's written and directed by the same guy that brought you Heathers, so you know it's smart and witty, unlike most the other movies Bruce did through the early and mid 90's, anyone remember Striking Distance? Richard E Grant (buy his book) is great as always and so is Sandra. The only downside is Danny and Andie are in it. Maybe the producer owed them a favor or lost a bet. Who knows? If you watch it again and hate it, let me know, my email address is on this website if you see more about me. But I know if you give it a second chance you'll end up loving it (if you don't already)
Summary of Hudson Hawk
No Description Available.Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure
Rating: R
Release Date: 6-MAR-2001
Media Type: DVD
Bruce Willis's awful, 1991 vanity piece is an abuse of audience goodwill and a waste of a good cast and director (Michael Lehmann of Heathers). The story, cowritten by Willis, concerns a cat burglar pressured into stealing precious art, including some from the Vatican. But the script is just a convenience upon which Willis piles his vaguely boorish brand of hip irony, assuming his audience will stay with him every step of the way. Certain, self-congratulatory scenes induce cringing--Willis and Danny Aiello, for instance, sing "Side by Side" (to brassy accompaniment on the soundtrack) every time they're working a job--but the overall effect is more irritating and baffling. Keep a good thought for Willis (an underrated actor better than the summer junk we usually see him in) by checking out his superior work in Pulp Fiction and his small but memorable role in Billy Bathgate. --Tom Keogh
