HUDSON HAWK (1991) ¢ 1/2
D: Michael Lehmann
Bruce Willis, Danny Aiello, Andie MacDowell,
James Coburn, Richard E. Grant, Sandra Bernhard
Bruce Willis co-wrote this alleged caper comedy about a cat burglar who gets out of prison and immediately goes back to work stealing priceless Da Vinci artifacts. You know how some movies get a lot of bad ink, and then you see them and they turn out to be better than you expected? That's not the case with "Hudson Hawk". It's cartoonish, categorically stupid and mostly just flat-out dull. Grant and Bernhard go way over the top as the villains, and even they're not any fun. One thing you'll see in this movie and nowhere else: the pope adjusting his TV so he can watch "Mr. Ed".
