Audience Member This movie deserves better than its current rating of 27%. The movie had a few problems with editing or writing, but not the kind of issues one would expect with this genre. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite the title, not a biography of former Montreal Expos outfielder Andre Dawson. That would have been better. Here, a woman suspects her husband is a serial killer who actually turns out to be his best friend. Failed to create much suspense. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member "The Hawk" is a very disappointing psychological thriller. Starring Helen Mirren, and boasting a strong supporting cast of top-notch British character actors, it promises much but fails to deliver. Helen Mirren plays the part of Anne, a housewife with a history of mental health problems, the mother of two young children, who lives in the north of England. She comes to believe that her husband, a travelling service engineer who has been away from home on many of the relevant occasions, is a serial killer whom the media have dubbed "The Hawk" (because he gouges out the eyes of his female victims). So, the basic premise of the plot is not a bad one. And the acting is OK. The problem is that the film is plodding and dull - and provides very little in the way of real suspense. In addition, the script is poor. The concluding double twist is unconvincing in the light of what has preceded it and there are several scenes throughout the film that are simply implausible. For example, I could not understand Anne's decision to confide her suspicions in a neighbour and friend with whom she is not on particularly close terms. And a pivotal scene towards the end of the film that occurs in a car disposal site is frankly ludicrous. 4/10.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Academy Entertainment shamefully plasters a mostly undressed attractive female on the box cover to lure you in, leaving the viewer feeling ripped off and cheated afterward. Does keep you guessing but still left disappointed. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This provided a good chance for Helen Mirren to move on from her Prime Suspect television series, and she provides a reasonably good performance. It's just a shame that the film isn't very good. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
