GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
cmp_gr Yes, there is some action, but this cannot save the film from being unacceptably stupid. Neither the famous names can change anything in that. As to comedy, I have been unable even to smile with all these nonsense. The film is just pathetic. My vote 1/10.
captaintetanus I laughed for a week. This movie has some comic gold in it. It's purposely ridiculous in a smart way. The cast is perfection. The folks who hate this movie lack a certain type of sense of humor, thus its a love it or hate it movie. I watch this for the comedy moments, without that it's a 5 in my book, but with the comedy and keeping in mind it is from 1991, it's a solid 8.
jessegehrig 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!
schf 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
