Thief extraordinaire Hudson Hawk (Bruce Willis) has just been released from prison and all he wants is a nice cappuccino. However, before he can savor his favorite beverage, the highly eccentric and wealthy Darwin Mayflower (Richard E. Grant) and his equally odd wife, Minerva (Sandra Bernhard), rope Hawk into an ambitious series of heists. Soon Hawk is stealing no less than major works by Leonardo Da Vinci, priceless pieces that the Mayflowers plan to use in an exceedingly nefarious way.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Hudson Hawk's kitchen-sink approach to its blend of action and slapstick results in a surreal, baffling misfire.

Tim Pulleine

Guardian

[Hudson Hawk] seems able to provide little more than maladroit slapstick, mainly entailing graphic injuries, and reams of repartee whose sole distinction is to prove definitively that actors are incapable of dying from embarrassment.

Solzy at the Movies

Not even the star-studded cast has the talent to save Hudson Hawk from being a really terrible action-adventure comedy.

Rated: 2.5/5

Rene Jordan

El Nuevo Herald (Miami)

Hudson Hawk gives the disturbing, pathetic, and finally irritating impression that none of its perpetrators know what they are doing. [Full review in Spanish]

Dave C Watched after finding out that part of it was filmed on the Mail Rail in London... We visited recentlyA decidedly 90's movie, with bizarre concepts strewn throughout, and some mad hammy moments. It made me smile more than it made me roll my eyes, and I did enjoy seeing some of the tongue-in-cheek comedic sequences play out Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Audience Member loved it. there should be a Hudson hawk 2 huh Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Martin W I loved this movie when I was a kid! It was critically panned on its release but I say it has more charisma, character, ingenuity, humour and wit than 99% of the movies released today so that gives you an idea of just how low the bar has been set these days. It's just a fun and zany comic book caper for kids and adults who enjoy light hearted high jinks! Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Dark H I saw this with a buddy when it came out. We laughed and laughed at how silly it was. It wasn't supposed to be serious like diehard. It was purely for sh*ts and giggles. Everyone was over the top but so what. Its a good watch, especially if you have a beer in you. Do yourself a favor, have some food, drink a couple beers and enjoy the silliness of it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review Jeffrey P At it’s best in the conclusion, where the pace is quicker and the comedy frequent and noticeable. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review John C Yes it is bad, but it isn't trying to be good. If you feel like something absurd and goofy this can be a guilty pleasure thing. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
