Nighthawks Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Bruce Malmuth
Genres: Action
Rating:
Deke DaSilva (Sylvester_Stallone) and Matthew Fox (Billy_Dee_Williams) are New York police officers specially assigned to a special multi-national team dedicated to tracking down terrorist Wulfgar (Rutger_Hauer). Wulfgar planted a bomb in a London department store, killing several children and he is now an outcast, hunted by both the police and his fellow gang members. He has extensive plastic surgery and resumes his activities aided by Shakka (Persis_Khambutta), a completely psychotic fellow outcast. Soon DaSilva and Wulfgar are engaged in a violent battle of wits as Wulfgar resumes his terrorist activities and threatens New York . This very effective thriller features a chilling performance by Rutger_Hauer as the handsome, ruthless cold-blooded killer who charms women into helping him and then kills them. Sylvester_Stallone gives an unusually understated emotionally vulnerable performance as a man trying to save lives while he saves his own marriage. The film makes excellent use of New York locales, particularly during a terrifying hijacking of a cable car where Wulfgar coolly decides which of the hostages will live or die. Linda Rasmussen, Rovi
