Nighthawks (1981)
7/10
One of Stallone's very few good movies

I first saw this when it first came out on video and liked it a lot. Stallone played his part well, Billy Dee Williams was good as his partner, and of course Rutger Hauer was great as the ultimate bad guy. With the movie made long before 9/11 it definitely had scary visions of New York under attack.

Who had it figured that Stallone was dressed as his wife at the end? At first I really didn't think it was him, then again I was much younger when I first saw it.

This has been mentioned as a "French Connection" of the 80's and I agree with that. A very underrated movie in my opinion, they certainly don't make them like that anymore. Too bad Stallone made one bomb after another following this.
