    David Arquette's "Hudson Hawk"

    Simply awful. Bruce Willis was quoted as saying that every actor/actress needs a "Hudson Hawk" in their career. This was easily David Arquette's "Hudson Hawk". Dreadful story-line, very ordinary car chases, little drama, no suspense and no twist at the end.

    The Best bit of the movie was the credits. The Worst bit was the 91 minutes before the credits.

    Anyone interested in watching this movie take my advice, go for a 91 minute walk and save yourself the anguish of this movie.

    (Can someone send me the Director's Address, I want to bill them for the hire charge of this movie).

    A pathetic flop of a film

    "R.P.M.", a silly saga with David Arquette as an international car thief, can't manage to get itself out of park. From casting to acting to simple props and stunts and everything in between, "R.P.M." is a loser. The only good thing in this film is Emmanuelle Seigner who seems awkwardly out of place and in need of a good script.

    RPM IS A CRAZY COOL MOVIE

    David Arquette was pretty bad in this movie. He's a professional Car thief who was hired to steal a new model car along with some other tight cars. There's some bad cars in this movie and I really enjoyed it. There's some funny parts in this movie too. I believe this is one of his best movies. People should definitely watch it.

    the worst film ever!!!!!!!!

    this film is the worst one i have ever watched in my life ever and i mean ever.

    from the minute i put it on it was crap i only watched ten minutes off it and had to turn it off i took it back and told them to take it off the shelf it should have not been allowed too even put on the shelf

    the film should have been burnt

    it said on the front fast and the furious verse gone in 60 seconds i don't think so it should not even been matched up to them two film it is not even in the same category

    i have seen better school play that i have been too

    You just don't understand

    This is a funny movie starring David Arquette and Famke Janssen about stealing cars. They are not just trying to steal any car though. Their main objective is to obtain a car called the RPM that is supposed to be a car that runs without fuel. More than that I think it is simply to be about the antics that take place.

    This is one of those movies that isn't supposed to be picked apart and taken seriously. It has bad acting, effects, direction, etc. on purpose. It is made to be funny. Has anyone ever seen a movie from the decade called the 80's. By the way, this wasn't an inspiration for "Gone in 60 seconds". Gone in 60 seconds was a remake of the film Gone in 60 seconds (1970 i believe). That is also a film that is so bad that it is fun to watch.
