That was an excellent one.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I laughed for a week. This movie has some comic gold in it. It's purposely ridiculous in a smart way. The cast is perfection. The folks who hate this movie lack a certain type of sense of humor, thus its a love it or hate it movie. I watch this for the comedy moments, without that it's a 5 in my book, but with the comedy and keeping in mind it is from 1991, it's a solid 8.

*Spoiler/plot- Hudson Hawk, 1991. A recently released New York "cat burglar" is drafted into a Govt plot to uncover a mystery machine of Da Vinci's to turn lead into gold.*Special Stars- Bruce Willis, Danny Aiello, Andie McDowell.*Theme- Teamwork is the key to success and it's good to have friends to help you out.*Trivia/location/goofs- Quirky film comedy of European locations and intrigue.*Emotion- This film (undeserving) lands on many "worst films" lists. I enjoyed this film and the comedy is both high & low brow. It has an involved mystery plot that could be difficult for some to grasp. I found this film fresh and fun.*Based On- Based on European placed mystery films.

I must admit this is not one of my favorites of Bruce's. Some bits of it work which, are the excitingly dangerous bits, with some "You gotta be kidding stuff", where the rest just bore, a bad concoction of the two. The movie is just stupid, what can I say, with not the best of scripts, and Bruce's acting isn't something to brag about. He plays a cat burglar, who's just got out of the can, and no sooner is he forced into stealing something from the Vatican, where some other baddies are after what he has. The music sequence of "Would You Like To Wish On A Star", sung by dangerous duo Willis and Aiello was admittedly and undoubtedly the best thing about this misfire of a movie, left in the hands of a trio of writers, one of them being Steven De Souza, where we would expect more from the guy. If into fantasy, and you want something different, this is a fifty fifty gamble, and Willis is offered some funny lines, the one involving ".... the hat convention, truly memorable. But really this movie will only be remembered for how bad it was. Winner for worst screenplay of 1991.

I'm reading these reviews and shaking my head.This is in the top five worst movies I've ever seen. Without my deep and admiring love of Bruce and Danny, it would be my number one worst flick I've ever seen.The humor? Flat.The plot? Ridiculous to the point of wanting to punch the screenwriter in the throat.The acting? Not terrible, but the plot ensures that no matter how good they are, there's no way they can save this turkey.Don't watch it. It'll be almost two hours of your life that you won't get back.
