Wulfgar (Rutger Hauer) is an international terrorist not to be taken lightly
He is wanted by half the countries in Europe
He is currently financed by no one... He becomes trapped as 'Persona Non Grata'
Wulfgar manages to succeed where others have failed His pattern is the instilling of fear He makes female contacts to establish safe housing for his armory He always covers a woman who is clean... He loses one, he finds another... He has a liking for fancy food, expensive clothes and the most varied nightlife
Wulfgar doesn't think like a criminal He wants to be a hero Since the London incidents, he wants to prove himself as invincible as he ever was So he decides to change his look, and strikes without warning... Wulfgar's associate is Shakka Holland (Persis Khambatta), a pretty cool woman, with no maternal instincts, who murders without apparent provocation
DaSilva (Sylvester Stallone) wants to treat Wulfgar like 'some mugger' on the streets He makes a mistake when he finds himself unexpectedly facing the malevolent killer... He refuses to act in the same ruthlessness Wulfgar does, and to use deadly force in defense of the lives of innocent hostages He hesitates to shoot and kill DaSilva rejected to pay attention to the impact of the terrorist's actions on his thinking and beliefs This mistake enables the best policeman to meet the dangerous terrorist on equal terms
'Nighthawks' turns out to be surprisingly interesting Rutger Hauer easily holds our attention throughout the film He is a disciplined terrorist indifferent to his victims, cold and calculating His mission to harm the enemy transcends any concern about his victims For Wulfgar, the end justifies the means...
Stallone and Billy Dee Williams make good partners Stallone doesn't play his usual character, the ruthless policeman who combats violence with greater violence He seems to be more human desperately trying to do the right thing at the right time
