Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

charmadu Seriously, is there Anything Timothy Dalton can't do? You'd be hard pressed to find another living actor with a resume spanning such a wide range of genres on stage, screen, television and voice overs. What an actor's actor. He totally makes this movie. Having lost family and friends to cancer, I so appreciated the theme of deciding your own end - vs being imprisoned by the health insurance industry. Bravo for tackling this theme (in 1988)alone! I'm so grateful to have seen this film enough times now that I have specific scenes and lines etched in my brain - every single scene Timothy's in of course, he OWNS. And his work with Janet McTeer is just lovely. There's something about this guy though - besides being drop dead gorgeous and possessed of that Golden Larynx that makes the English language sound like the loveliest music on the planet -he just exudes such a deep sense of loving what he's doing on such a profound level - it doesn't matter WHAT he's in or who he's with. In return, how you can help but not love him back with all your heart and want to follow him to the ends of the earth? He's so generous with his fellow actors too - seems like such a great person to work with. Yes of course, the film itself has its flaws - not least of which is Janet McTeer's character which was seriously underwritten, but she is soooo good and soooo hilarious and heartbreaking that she nearly makes up for it. Plus, it's great seeing two tall people get together - it's not something you see every day.

Llemonmonkey Hawks was the first movie I saw with Timothy Dalton and I have loved it ever since. It is in my top five favorites.Two professional men at the height of their careers meet in a terminal ward in London. One is an American(Anthony Edwards)a football player on tour who has just been diagnosed and is put into a room with another patient(Timothy Dalton), an English attorney who want to go out swinging! The young men have a period of remission coming up and decide to escape to have a last hurrah! (The Bucket List must have been inspired by Hawks). On their way to Holland, they meet two very quirky women who have a mission of their own. The humor of these characters is delightful as well as their odd adventures. Hawks has no bits of any tired generic story lines, for which I'm always grateful! The uplifting music and dead on lyrics are beautiful. They were written by Barry Gibbs and are little known gems. Hawks is an excellent "feel-good" piece of art. It is rated,"R" and this rating should be taken seriously.

kev2003 a simple story of life......this is one of the most sensitive and funny films i have ever ever seen, to meet and realise your mortality is something we never do until its too late, Hawks well with superb acting from Messrs Dalton and Edwards makes you (well made me) realise how fragile and how little we live our lives, whilst going through a situation with a friend at the moment i have re-watched this film, to realise one that Mortality is not something to be afraid of, but also to realise that in my darkest times - A big red nose will always make me smile.so join the order of the HAWKS - I guarantee you wont regret it !!!

Ffolkes-3 It's hard to say much. The film is drama and a comedy in one. It's very moving but it's also very funny. I believe that it's not that easy to make that kind of film. It proves that Robert Ellis Miller is one of the best directors ever. Both of the main actors - Timothy Dalton and Anthony Edwards should get Oscars for the roles. PEOPLE YOU MUST SEE "HAWKS" !!!
