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 notQuite average movie on quality.

I don't remember theThis movie got teared apart by critics, received 3 golden raspberries and is now mostly forgotten. I think this is best seen as an entertaining B movie that takes itself not serious while being no masterpiece either. I don't remember the movie being even showed in TV on smaller stations in recent years. It was plagued by development hell but ultimately is quite entertaining (If you like B movies or apply B movie standards). The movie follows Eddie Hawkins called Hudson Hawk who is a master safe cracker, thief and cat burglar. He is freshly out of the prison when he is forced by various group to do a heist for them. However this is even bigger than he could imagine and leads back to the times of Leonardo da Vinci. I stop here with this set up. The story and characters have a B movie charm that won me over. I warn here that this is not for everyone and I see what critiques and others dislike. If you expect this to be an A movie or blockbuster than this is a disappointment. However I will question if you made the right assumptions for this movie. Back to the movie: The story works for me well in B movie style so lets continue with the characters. We have Bruce Willis as Eddie Hawkins aka Hudson Hawk. I think he is a charming character and works well. Danny Aiello plays Tommy Messina aka Five Tone who is Eddies partner in crime. A good performance too. The Mayflowers played by Richard E. Grant ans Sandra Bernhard are interesting but a bit to unbelievable for my taste. Andie Mac Dowell as Anna Baragli works well and delivers. We got a solid performance by B movie standards and I freely admit the weakness in the scripts and dialogues. I know that I repeat the word “B movie” a lot but this is the quintessence for me and think I said all there is to say so far. Overall this is both. An entertaining movie and a catastrophe in one but it depends on your preferences. As prove that it is not that bad I will make the argument that it never appears on that many worst movies on all time lists and has a small fan base.… Expand

A sour mix of Action, Thriller and Comedy, this pretty and atmospherically attractive film is completely inconsistent in tone.

It has some great props and some good acting, but the whole film looks like a bad dream for Bruce Willis, and it struggles to push through its overt comedy with any real sense that it should work with the tone.… Expand
