Hudson Hawk
“Shy. Sensitive. Law-abiding. Polite. Respectful... I don't think so.”

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Bruce Willis's cat burglar is pushed into an international scheme involving Leonardo da Vinci's inventions and an extraordinary surplus of competing agendas. Slapstick, cartoon villains and lavish caper machinery collide at full volume. The film's refusal to calm down is precisely its invitation.
