 | Hudson Hawk in an awesome movie, it is one of my favorite Bruce Willis movies (next to Die Hard of coarse). I most definitely recommend this movie to anybody who loves to laugh and have a good time. So what are you waiting for? Buy it already. |

| Not much for writing long reviews, or reviews at all for that matter, but this movie has always been one of my favorites. I still watch it a couple times a year (or more). I have never understood why this movie was ever considered less than wonderful.
So.. anyway, if you haven't seen it yet, watch it. |

| This comedy i watched more than 20 times. Interestingly look at Bruce Willis (the star of action-movies) in this role. Very funny. |

| I'm among those that thought this movie was great fun. I hated the Batman movies and most of that genre. When I saw "Hudson Hawk" I thought: this is how comic book movies are supposed to be: over-the-top; tongue-in-cheek; cheeky, sassy and smart-_ss funny! |
| Rating | | | Date | February 15, 2005 | | Summary | The Da Vinci Code on Acid. | Content
| Secret Vatican operatives, Candy-flavored CIA agents, Meglo-maniacal Billionaires, Leonardo Da Vinci's secret invention, the World's Greatest Cat Burglar - none of this is what Hudson Hawk is about.
Husdon Hawk tells the story of the Quest for a Cup of Cappuccino, and the wild ride it takes the main character along the way. Eddie Hawkins, the World's Greatest Cat Burglar, is recruited for the Next Big Job, first by his new parole officer while being released from prision, then by the mob and finally by the CIA. Despite his desire to go straight, and his intense desire to finally have some cappuccino after a long prision stay, Hawk falls into a tailspin the just keeps getting stranger and stranger.
Aiello and Willis are great together, James Coburn eats up the screen as the determined CIA agent who is wistful for the Good Old Days of the Cold War. (Older fans will catch the musical In Like Flint reference heard in the movie.) Andie McDowell turns in a great comic performace which reaches into other dimensions when she starts to 'talk to the dolphins'. And Sandra Bernhardt is smashing as one half of the evil duo pulling all the strings. Don't miss Miami CSI's David Caruso as Agent Kit Kat.
Hudson Hawk may be a Willis vanity piece, but its sense of fun and almost complete disconnection from actual reality make it well worth the ride.
Did I mention the Homicidal Butler with retractable knives up his sleeves?
