Watch Hudson Hawk For Free

Best movie ever!

An Exercise In Nonsense

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

*Spoiler/plot- Hudson Hawk, 1991. A recently released New York "cat burglar" is drafted into a Govt plot to uncover a mystery machine of Da Vinci's to turn lead into gold.*Special Stars- Bruce Willis, Danny Aiello, Andie McDowell.*Theme- Teamwork is the key to success and it's good to have friends to help you out.*Trivia/location/goofs- Quirky film comedy of European locations and intrigue.*Emotion- This film (undeserving) lands on many "worst films" lists. I enjoyed this film and the comedy is both high & low brow. It has an involved mystery plot that could be difficult for some to grasp. I found this film fresh and fun.*Based On- Based on European placed mystery films.

Everyday, people try to accomplish goals. They struggle and sometimes fail and other times succeed. Sometimes the goals have meaning, other times it's the struggle to reach those goals that has meaning, and sometimes both the struggle to achieve a goal and the goal as well, are meaningless. They made this movie- it was a goal they struggled to achieve, and having completed their task the end result was/is Hudson Hawk. I mean, who am I to pass judgment on this movie, maybe it's really hard to get jokes on paper to become jokes on film, I don't know. And its too easy to call this movie self-indulgent, oh, accurate as hell, but still, too easy. Soundtrack available for purchase- you can own it!

Hudson hawk is shanghaied by various powerful people the moment he gets out of prison into pulling a museum job but of course this is just the beginning of his troubles. One of those hilarious underrated classics that pop up every now and again.The world and his wife lined up to criticise this film . They were ,of course, all completely wrong. Its part smarmy heist caper, part musical, part buddy action movie it does not clearly fit into one genre so of course people hated it.The comedy works the stunts are good and the plot is strangely compelling. Id advise you disregard everyone's opinion (except mine of course) and see it your self

At the time of release this film was poorly reviewed by critics who mistook it for a straight up action film with comedic pretensions. It is, in fact a straight up farce in the manner of Mel Brooks classics such as "Blazing Saddles" or "High Anxiety" - it even has musical numbers!That critics could fail to see this is perplexing, when many of them are educated men and women, with one would assume, a functioning sense of humor. It goes to show how big an effect expectations have upon a film.I don't think anyone watching today could fail to see that Hudson Hawk is a slapstick, knockabout comedy with some very entertaining characters, a unique idea and a very original and worthwhile film.Many people object that the plot is rambling and disconnected. Of course the 'plot' is ludicrous - but the plot matters about as much as the plot of "Young Frankenstein" or "Monty Python & the Holy Grail". It simply serves to set the scene for comedy sketches and throwaway gags, many of which are hilarious and inventively surreal.If this were billed as "Terry Gilliams" Hudson hawk, I think it would have done much better in critical circles. Written as it was by Bruce Willis, they were obviously more predisposed to dismiss it.All in All Hudson Hawk is an overlooked comedy classic full of inventive fun.Hudson
