Review of The Hawk Is Dying (2007) by Sv G — 24 Jan 2008
Truth be known this is not a very good movie. HOWEVER - then there is Paul Giamatti - and no matter the movie, he was still amazing. He plays a strange sort of guy that runs an auto-detail shop, lives with his sister and her autistic son and has never been married himself.
Tragedy (in a freakish manner of sorts) strikes the family and there is a death; & he works through his grief through the training of his newest hawk (as the one previous - died) There is a scene where he is smoking a joint laying along a river bank with the hawk and Michelle Williams who plays his confidant (of sorts) and he is talking and going on and on in this amazing scene and I noticed the hawk was watching him - intently as if to say, "man dude you can act your as* off!" He can - even in movies not worth his caliber.
If you're a fan of his as I noticably am, you'll still enjoy - if not? Probably not. As for me I'd watch him read the phone book, and probably still give at least 3 stars.
