Summary of Hudson Hawk

Hudson Hawk (Bruce Willis) has done his time. The infamous cat burglar is released from prison and plans to pursue an honest life. Some of his cronies, however, feel differently and coerce him back into a life of crime. With his best friend, Tommy Five-Tune (Danny Aiello), in tow, Hawk finds himself immersed in a series of complex burglaries, culminating with the theft of a priceless Leonardo da Vinci treasure from the Vatican. Every time Hawk thinks he has the situation under control, a new villain is thrown into the mix. A plethora of quirky characters keeps Hawk hopping, including a misguided secret-agent nun (Andie MacDowell), a greedy, megatrendy couple determined to dominate the world (Sandra Bernhard and Richard E. Grant), a ruthless butler (Donald Burton), and a sinister CIA agent (James Coburn) who heads a team of agents nicknamed after candy bars. Director Michael Lehmann (HEATHERS, AIRHEADS) uses slapstick comedy, special effects, and sight gags to keep the action moving at a raucous pace.

Rolling Stone

A movie this unspeakably awful can make an audience a little crazy. You want to throw things, yell at the actors, beg them to stop. But the film drags on, digging horrible memories into the brain -- like Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello's singing. Full Review

Variety

A relentlessly annoying clay duck that crash-lands in a sea of wretched excess and silliness. Full Review

This Movie is awful. It is ridiculous and stupid. Bruce Willis who is usually great in everything really bit the big one in this movie along with all the other actors. Sandra Bernhard is the worst though. Every scene she is in is made just a little... Read and rate it

If you like cheesy comedy, you'll love this movie! This was a sleeper but it still makes me laugh every time I see it. He toned down the cheese quite a bit after this (like in "Die Hard"). In this movie, Bruce is trying to get out of the burglary... Read and rate it
