Customer Reviews of Nighthawks / Movie
...a cool and gritty cop movie...a cult classic Nighthawks is a suspense thriller starring Sylvester Stallone (Rocky), Billy Dee Williams (Batman), and Rutger Hauer (Sin City). <
> <
>This is one of Stallone's earliest action films (before the Rambo franchise), and one of his most underrated. <
> <
>New York City detectives Deke DaSilva, played by Stallone, and Matthew Fox, played by Williams, are hired to hunt down a world reknowned terrorist Wulfgar, played brilliantly and menacingly by Hauer, after he is nearly caught and undergoes an operation that changes his facial features. But he's not going to fool our heroes DaSilva and Fox as he escapes them around New York ending in a memorable climactic confrontation between DaSilva and Wulfgar. <
> <
>Nighthawks is a cool and gritty cop movie that is easily considered a cult classic with Stallone sporting a beard that makes him look a lot like Al Pacino in Serpico. <

Should have been Stallone's action franchise, not Rambo
This is a very underrated movie in Sly's filmography.
<
>
<
>In it, he has a really good role as a street wise new york city cop recruited into a newly formed anti-terrorist strike force to catch Wulfgar (an exceptional american movie debut from Rutger Hauer), a crafty international terrorist intent on making his reputation with a strike in the Big Apple.
<
>
<
>Deke DaSilva is an interesting, intelligent hero and Stallone plays him well. This character is a lot more interesting than John Rambo!
<
>
<
>The action sequences are great. The first time Stallone and Hauer's eyes meet(ironically, on a nightclub dance floor!) is incredibly suspenseful and leads to one of the most thrilling chase sequences you will ever see.
<
>
<
>"Nighthawks" should have been the first movie of a stallone signature action franchise, not "First Blood."
<
>
<
>The New York terrorist plot was way ahead of its time (this came out a full 20 years before 9/11) and could have led to a whole slew of great action films with a more realistic Stallone action hero at their center.

Stallone at one of his best (and there weren't many!).
Although RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II is fun too watch and COPLAND offers a rare acting performance, I always thought Stallone's "acting" career was finished after FIRST BLOOD in 1982.

<
>By 1981, he had solidified himself as Rocky Balboa with two ROCKY movies and not much else, despite a good performance in F.I.S.T. NIGHTHAWKS was a brand new departure as a tough NYC cop with a whole new Sly look (full beard and mustache) and a real badass attitude! As a cop thriller, it's the best, the dirtiest and grittiest New York-based one I've seen since THE FRENCH CONNECTION.

<
>Rutger Hauer is first rate and frightening as the terrorist determined to bring the city to its knees. It was his debut role. One year later, he'd practically become an overnight sensation as Roy Batty in BLADE RUNNER.

<
>NIGHTHAWKS introduced the concept of homeland terror to the Big Apple twently years before it would actually happen on September 11, 2001. Watch it now and tell me it doesn't feel like a different movie than when you might have caught in on HBO so long ago.
