A standard cop thriller which never move beyond its genre conventions, but conveys a pretty distinct and pleasing gloomy urban atmosphere. The mise-en-scène is far more interesting than the narrative and thematic concerns; it's somewhat cool - de facto - to see Stallone and Billy Dee (Lando from Star Wars) wandering around in an impure neighbourhood with shotguns and leather coats and some serious 80s music on the soundtrack.

One of the more forgotten Stallone movies, Nighthawks is a bit of a hidden gem. Stallone is great as Deke Da Silva, who seems to have copied his look from Dave Lee Travis. Rutger Hauer is terrific as Wulgar and there is a great score from Prog meister Keith Emerson. Was weird finding out that director Bruce Malmouth played the ring announcer in The Karate Kid.

Almost subversive in how middle of the road and conventional it is, but that's probably giving it too much credit. It seriously manages to fall into every convention, but it also seems like the writers take a short cut and just give up trying to give the characters any background. A completely forgettable movie, albeit it with some nice "urban" atmosphere early on.

Actually not that bad. At times this is well paced and interesting but at others it's badly acted and absurd.

A highly underatted 80's thriller. Rutger Hauer gives a great performance as a terrorist planning to blow up New York. The only thing is, super cop Stallone is out to stop him. Check it out
