The Hawk is on the loose!  Michael Lehmann’s heist-oriented comic action movie is a widely panned example of true 1990s Hollywood excess.  But, what if the hosts of a podcast based on the sophisticated films of the Criterion Collection actually…love the movie?  Look, while this episode begins on the premise of an Aprils Fool’s joke, the tone immediately settles on genuine admiration.

Also, we recorded this several week’s before this film’s lead, Bruce Willis, announced his retirement.  As a couple of lifelong fans, we offer this episode as our own - entirely unintended - celebration of a often maligned film that deserves another looks, thanks in large part to Bruce.

If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing F.W. Murnau’s The Last Laugh (1924).
