Yes, there is some action, but this cannot save the film from being unacceptably stupid. Neither the famous names can change anything in that. As to comedy, I have been unable even to smile with all these nonsense. The film is just pathetic. My vote 1/10.

Greetings from Lithuania."Hudson Hawk" (1991) has to be one of the most uninvolving and overproduced movies i've ever seen. Nothing works in this movie, nor comedy, nor action - nothing. It's hard to say what went wrong with production of this movie, probably script was first and most important factor that this movie was garbage and just unpleasant to watch. Overall, i couldn't recommend this movie to absolutely no one, even if you are a "die hard" fan of Bruce Willis - skip this trash, it's not worth your time nor electricity you will consume during it's watch. Avoid it.

Hudson Hawk is the most fun I've had watching a Bruce Willis movie. It's also Bruce at his looniest, playing a slick heeled cat burglar swept up on a globetrotting adventure of epic weirdness and supreme tongue in cheek mayhem. It's what would happen if Mel Brooks, Indiana Jones, Bugs Bunny and James Bond got to drinking one night and decided to collaborate on a movie. People didn't appreciate its style at the time of release, and were no doubt confused by its abstract, off colour antics. To certain people who have a strange sense of humour (like myself), though, it's a treasure trove of priceless encounters, whack job characters and a ludicrously entertaining, larger than life plot line. Willis is Hudson Hawk, a cunning cat burglar who is blackmailed into stealing priceless Da Vinci works of art for evil billionaires Darwin and Minerva Mayflower (a coked up Richard E. Grant and butt ugly gargoyle Sandra Bernhard). They employ a quartet of demented goons named after chocolate bars, including a mute David Caruso as Kit Kat. Also pursuing him is smart ass ex military prick Kaplan (scene stealing James Coburn). He's aided by his wise cracking buddy Tommy Two Tone (Danny Aiello), and catches the romantic eye of beautiful Vatican nun Anna (Andie MacDowell) who's got a few tricks up her sleeve. The plot is an inane goose chase of setups, double crosses, lighthearted banter, and pure whacked out fun. Willis puts his million dollar smirk to great use, making Hawk a sarcastic, charismatic goofball and carries the movie quite well. It's the constant vibe of demented hysterics thrumming through the script, performances and lavish production design that make this one a winner, though. I promise you've never seen an adventure movie quite like it.

Hudson Hawk has the dubious distinction of being the final film produced by TriStar Pictures prior to their being bought out by the Sony Corporation and merged with Columbia Pictures. Plot In A Paragraph: Hudson Hawk, the worlds greatest cat burglar, has just been released from prison in New York. He is immediately blackmailed in to stealing some of Da Vinci's finest work in order to aid a world domination plot. Bruce Willis gives one of his worst performances as Eddie Hawkins/Hudson Hawk, likewise Danny Aiello is not up to his usual standard as Tommy Hawks best mate, Andie MacDowell is very blah as Anna, Hawks love interest. David Caruso and Frank Stallone are both fine in their supporting roles. However Sandra Bernhard and Richard E. Grant are simply awful. Cringeworthy bad. They ruin EVERY scene they are in. The movie doesn't seem to know what it wants to be, a slapstick comedy or an action adventure, and sadly ends up being neither. One thing I did like was a running joke in the movie that has Hudson and his partner Tommy (Aiello) singing songs concurrently but separately, to time and synchronize their exploits. Willis-Aiello duets of Bing Crosby's "Swinging on a Star" and Paul Anka's "Side by Side" are a bit of fun in an otherwise mixed bag.
