The Hot Spot (1990)
Director: Dennis Hopper
Starring: Don Johnson, Jennifer Connelly, Virginia Madsen
The Hot Spot is a slow-burning neo-noir thriller filled with heat, temptation, and double-crosses. Don Johnson plays a drifter who walks into a small Texas town and ends up caught between two seductive women and a dangerous heist. With steamy tension, stylish cinematography, and bluesy atmosphere, the film captures the spirit of old-school noir, though its pacing won’t be for everyone.
Stylish and moody direction Strong performances, especially from Connelly and Madsen
A bit slow in parts and the plot gets predictable
Rating: 7/10 – A sleek, sultry thriller with classic noir vibes.
