Hudson Hawk 1991
Have you ever been hypnotized by Bruce WIllis. Fallen under the spell of his charm and receding hairline? Smirks and squints and black t-shirts that make one think John McClane went on a vacation to Rome after that Nakatomi incident.
Hudson Hawk is one glorious distillation of the 80's into the 90's. $65m was thrown at this spectacle, more than a couple union guys were assigned to the same job, rest assured. Elaborate sets, period costumes, A-list talent. No expense was spared! David Caruso nearly stole the show in a non-speaking role. Smoldering intensity and business cards of the finest paper stock.
Even the wooden acting of Andie MacDowell could not hold this film back. A script dripping with a pantheon of one-liners that would make Arnold stick his tail between his legs. "I'll torture you so slowly you'll think it's a career." Whew. Okay, maybe there's one quote that doesn't land. If you message me the line, I'll know you are a true cinephile.
Like many films, the book was better. In light of this, Hudson Hawk may still be the cinematic experience of 2021. If you can't appreciate a film of this level, you should probably go back to the comment section of your local public access station.
