Hudson Hawk, gentleman et cambrioleur

I confess. At first view, I was disappointed. Zexpecting more from a very capable cast. But as many reviewers have offered....upon subsequent views it really, really grew on me. I noticed nuances I'd missed, and just thoroughly enjoyed the subtle and the slapstick. George Kaplan! Ball bunny, ball. It was an ego trip by Willis, but there are by far, more egregious, more offensive examples. I'll bet the actors thoroughly enjoyed making the film and it shows. I'd also be willing to bet, that there was a fair amount of ad libbing. I give it a joyous 8.5.....and strongly suggest you watch it, twice. Doc

This film seems to be getting better with age. Oddly funny on first viewing (decades ago), I found myself in tears watching it at the end of 2021. Great goofy script. Bruce Willis at his quirky best.

Da Vinci hasn't not only be involved with catholic secrets, he was, first of all, an artist and an inventor. In the field of Alchemy, he designed a machine, which can be a disaster if it falls on the wrong hands, which happens in this movie… The problem is that the bad guys are ridiculous !!! And for a action movie, the co-star is Danny Aielo… The director have made the choice for a thriller and a comedy. They fail in both ways. The only asset of this movie is the real locations in Roma & Vatican. And you will be surprised to see the well-known "map room" from the godfather III..

This film is actually great. Time runs and you laugh all the time. Bruce sings, and what to say - sings GREAT! The plot is so wicked that any second you'll be astonished with sudden turn. I HighLY recommend!

I absolutely love this movie and have seen it over a hundred times since the 90s. This film was before it's time and don't know why it got so much hate.

Bruce Willis stars as Hudson Hawk some kind of thief who gets tangled up in a plot to take over the world, while also ripping off the Da Vinci paintings for the terrorists in this downright awful action comedy which is so devoid of laughs and action that one cannot describe how royally cheated one feels. A terrible movie to say the least, while Sandra Bernhard puts it the best. "This is supposed to be torture" too true.

Quite average movie on quality. On the one hand a plot amusing and sarcastic, on the other hand everything is executed at the level here is lower an average. Bruce Willis won back enough so-so, and this the best that is in a picture. I do not recommend for viewing if you appreciate the time.

Eddie 'Hudson Hawk' Hawkins (Bruce Willis) gets out of prison after 10 years. He's picked up by his best friend crime partner Tommy "Five-Tone" Messina (Danny Aiello). They are forced by mobsters, the CIA and couple Darwin (Richard E. Grant) and Minerva Mayflower (Sandra Bernhard) to steal the works of Leonardo da Vinci which are hiding crystals that combine to power a special machine. There is also Anna Baragli (Andie MacDowell) from a secret Vatican organization. This is a madcap caper. This is utterly ridiculous and some people may actually like it. This put me off a little. Bruce Willis does a bit of comedy at times but this movie needs a real comedian as his sidekick. God bless Aiello but he brings a different tone to the movie. I think everybody is expecting something closer to Die Hard but this is really a spoof of those movies. That's probably what put me off. It doesn't make me laugh but it certainly tries its darnedest.
