sorry dennis hopper, i don't believe anyone would actually be dumb enough to cheat on the incarnated angel of beauty that is jennifer connelly
comrade_yuiApr 15, 2022Jennifer Connelly and Virginia Madsen are the main reason to watch this Dennis Hopper-directed neo-noir. They're both so damn sexy but Virginia Madsen is so sizzling hot that she almost melts the screen! Blackmailing Don Johnson with that accent and shaving her legs while…

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Blind bought it on blu-ray & glad I did. Deserves to be experienced in HD. Stray thoughts: -Was there anyone hotter than Jennifer Connelly in the 90s? No. Correct answer is no. -Ebert: “I feel at home in movies like The Hot Spot. They come…

- Mrs Berrty likedThe Hot Spot
a fantastic, sweaty little noir throwback it can get a little corny in spots, and plays a bit long, but I loved spending time in this seedy little world all the main players are delightfully over-the-top
Lilly likedThe Hot SpotIt was good. The pacing held up, visuals were sharp, and the performances felt authentic. Some scenes dragged, but overall, it left a strong impression.

The Hot Spot, his film noir set in a small, sex-starved Texas backwater, is the closest Mr. Hopper has yet come to working within the bounds of a familiar genre. Nevertheless, The Hot Spot bears the film maker's idiosyncratic stamp all the way.
