Review of Nighthawks

Nighthawks (1981)
5/10
Average, but good for one evening
10 May 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Recap: Wulfgar, an international terrorist, falls out of favor with his current employers i Europe and heads to New York to rebuild his infamousness. But there DaSilva and Fox , two polices who work undercover with the NYPD, join a new anti-terror unit. Soon it all turn to a vendetta between Wulfgar and DaSilva with everyone else in between.

Comments: Rutger Hauer and Lando Calrissian (sorry, Billy Dee Williams) in the same movie. With Sylvester Stallone. Come on, this can't be bad. And it ain't. Neither is it especially good. All in all it is an average actionthriller that entertains one time but will never appear on my "to but"-list. There are some good action and some suspense, but it has only standard moves, twists and turns. All properly foreshadowed earlier in the movie. You never need to feel surprise or not know what is about to happen. And that is why it is only average in total.

However, it is rather fun to see Hauer, Stallone and Williams yet again.

5/10
