Nighthawks (1981)
Director: Bruce Malmuth
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A terrorist hijacking a cable car, even in New York, is a mildly ludicrous idea - were no 747s handy? The plot of Nighthawks makes no sense. Its thrills are strictly visual: the thriller as TV commercial? Stallone (the cop) gives a restrained performance for once, and Rutger Hauer (the terrorist) shows why he was to make it big in Hollywood.Author: MB
