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.

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. Feb 28, 2023 Full Review Adrián Álvarez Espinof An unfairly forgotten marvel. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Jan 26, 2021 Full Review Richard Brody New Yorker ...a feast of visual imagination and whimsical style. Apr 14, 2020 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Here’s a bomb so enormous, it could level Rhode Island in a second. Rated: 1/4 Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Danielle Solzman 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 Feb 23, 2023 Full Review 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.

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 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 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 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 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Kris K I loved this movie. Just plain fun with great actors. Over the top fun. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Caleb N Get high grab a few buddies and laugh your ass off. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
