Nighthawks
Now this is one big trip. Based on the Sylvester Stallone shelf-stocker flick of the same name,Night Hawkslands Agents DaSilva and Fox (Cage and Camu Tao of MHz, respectively) in hot pursuit of international terrorist "Wulfgar." Okay — that’s what it says in the introduction, but there really isn’t much of a storyline after that. Instead, what you get is a matted glance "into the minds and careers of rogue undercovers," touching upon virtually every sort of bad-cop archetype that you can imagine.From the obligatory "Car Chase" to the surreal yet clever "Count Crackula," where the drug scene is likened to a sort of blood game with vampires as dealers,Night Hawksdelivers where most gimmick projects fail. Musically, the focus is mainly on enhancing mood and setting, so don’t expect the usual array of Mighty Mi slammers. But in a year full of nondescript long-players, theHawks’themed approach is unusually refreshing.Rehan Mirza--From URB Magazine
