Reviews

• What 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.

• It ends up choking on a never-ending stream of inept gags... A worst-case scenario of wackiness gone out of whack.

• Despite all of its failures of wit, sense, and pace, the film does most effectively flaunt the millions spent on it. The inane action takes place in splendiferous settings.

• Just awful... There is probably not one interrupted 60-second stretch in which a line of dialogue doesn't clunk, an action doesn't ring false or an irritating plot turn doesn't present itself.

• Boring and banal, overwrought and undercooked, Hudson Hawk is beyond bad.
