While the plotting is familiar (especially after countless imitations), competent scripting, direction and acting make this above average entertainment.

Though there's never much doubt how the duel will end, the climax is nonetheless surprising and totally satisfying, topping the energy of the previous pursuit.

This very effective thriller features a chilling performance by Hauer as the emotionless killing machine. Stallone and Williams are also credible, and the film makes good use of its New York locations.
November 01, 2002
One of Stallone's better non-Rocky efforts
January 26, 2006
A taut urban thriller with a hissable villain and an unforgettable ending. One of Stallone's best films.

Nighthawks, an aggressively shallow police thriller pitting New York undercover cops against international terrorists.

A terrorist hijacking a cable car, even in New York, is a mildly ludicrous idea -- were no 747s handy? The plot of Nighthawks makes no sense.

Nighthawks is a compelling movie with plenty of adrenaline-pumping chase sequences.

Stallone dresses in drag for his first onscreen appearance as a cop. This is one reel bad dude.

All of it is standard stuff, and yet Nighthawks has been assembled with enough pep to make it feel fresh.
