Nighthawks. 1981.

Deke DaSilva and Mathew Fox, two New York detectives transferred to a new division that deals with Anti-Terrorism while a international terrorist known as Wulfgar shows up to cause havoc and panic.

Even though Sly Stallone has top billing it's Rutger Hauer that steals the show as terrorist Wulfgar, who teams up with extremist Shakka, who has no conscience and doesn't blink while pulling a trigger. Nigel Davenport plays Peter Hartman who put the team together and tries to get into everyone's heads and gets them to think like the enemy.

The film does start off with a bang as the two detectives go undercover and Wulfgar in London targeting his next operation, there is somehow so much build up and yet not enough execution, as it does seem to be cat and mouse chase with mind games getting played, with that aside the acting is top notch with some tense moments.
