Bruce Willis plays a cat burglar, named Hudson Hawk, who just got out of prison. He is asked to steal an antique horse from an auction house, which he does. He does this by singing "Swinging on a Star" performed by Bing Crosby. However, Hawk and his partner, Tommy Five-Tone (played by Danny Aiello), almost get caught by a security guard.
There are some twists and turns in this movie. One twist is whether Tommy Five-Tone is really a friend to Hawk. Another is whether Anna Baragli (played by Andie MacDowell) is a friend to Hawk. Anna is certainly keeping a secret, but will that secret help or hurt Hudson Hawk.
I won't rehash the plot of this movie because I would rather you watch it. I like this movie, its quaint, its funny. It's not a timeless classic though. The delivery of each actor in their respective roles are flawless and not forced. The dialogue seems to flow pretty good. The action flows pretty good as well.
One thing I would like to say though, this is one of only two roles I like David Caruso in. In this movie Caruso plays a character named Kit Kat; Kit Kat doesn't speak, that is why I like Caruso in that role. The other role I liked Caruso in was NYPD Blue.
But I digress... This movie will get 8 stars from me on a scale of 1 to 10. I wish Bruce Willis would do more of these type of movies, although I like the ones he has done.
