Hawks was the first movie I saw with Timothy Dalton and I have loved it ever since. It is in my top five favorites.
Two professional men at the height of their careers meet in a terminal ward in London. One is an American(Anthony Edwards)a football player on tour who has just been diagnosed and is put into a room with another patient(Timothy Dalton), an English attorney who want to go out swinging! The young men have a period of remission coming up and decide to escape to have a last hurrah! (The Bucket List must have been inspired by Hawks). On their way to Holland, they meet two very quirky women who have a mission of their own. The humor of these characters is delightful as well as their odd adventures. Hawks has no bits of any tired generic story lines, for which I'm always grateful! The uplifting music and dead on lyrics are beautiful. They were written by Barry Gibbs and are little known gems. Hawks is an excellent "feel-good" piece of art. It is rated,"R" and this rating should be taken seriously.
