The Hawk

[gedk]

Can anyone tell me the ending of the film "The Hawk" (with Helen Mirren) which was on the other night. Was her husband the serial killer or not?

I think he might have been. I didn't watch the film but this review makes it sound like he was...

The Hawk
Annie Marsh (Mirren) fears her husband (Costigan) may be the serial killer whom the media have dubbed 'The Hawk'. But is the father of her children - a roving service engineer - capable of bludgeoning women to death and gouging out their eyes? Hayman's low-key direction of Peter Ransley's script (from his own novel) and Andrew Dunn's moody urban photography work well in developing Mirren's escalating paranoia. But with so much of the detail taken directly from the Yorkshire Ripper case, it seems absurd and disorienting when, in a departure from both real and fictional sources, Annie finally finds the strength to turn the tables on her husband.

She accused her Brother-in-Law after confronting her husband who came up with an alibi. The Brother-in-Law had a very good alibi which was true. YES! it was the husband.
