Leave your thoughts about Hudson Hawk.
| DVDTalk.comBrian OrndorfA delightfully outlandish vanity film, capable of eliciting giggles, groans, guffaws, and gagging frequently in the same fanciful instant. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyLet's be clear: 'Hudson Hawk' is, by most reasonable standards, a pretty bad movie. Yet you have to give it this much: in contrast to your typical summer blockbuster, then or now, at least it's got some personality. |
| TimeRichard SchickelWhat director Lehmann has made is essentially a multi-million dollar cult movie with great effects, a witty script and some good performances, but although some of the eccentric (and occasionally slapstick) humour may not appeal to a mass audience, it is certainly one of the more original blockbusters coming out this summer. |
| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyVanity projects don't get much worse than this. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumIt doesn't have the polish or the momentum of an Indiana Jones adventure, and isn't too engaging on the plot level, but at least the filmmakers keep it moving with lots of screwball stunts. |
| Filmcritic.comJames Brundageso implausible and so over the top that it lets inconsistency roll off like water on a duck's back |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsDavid N. ButterworthYou know where a film's heading when it manages to poke fun at Asians, the handicapped, and overweight people all within the first five minutes. |
| USA TodaySusan WloszczynaA relentlessly annoying clay duck that crash-lands in a sea of wretched excess and silliness. |
| Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesEverybody figured producer Joel Silver and Willis couldn't lose and guess what? They all rolled craps. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinA colossally sour and ill-conceived misfire. |
