The Hot Spot Reviews
Dennis Hopper is underappreciated
It seems that every time Dennis Hopper is on the Tonight Show, he gets asked about his relationship with his friend James Dean, back in the 1950s. The irony is that Dean died young after 3 films, and Hopper went on to have a long, distinguished career, which was in many ways more interesting and accomplished than anything Dean ever did. Amongst the accomplishments for Hopper is his directing, in this case THE HOT SPOT. This movie is outstanding--it creates to a "t" the wicked ambience of film noir, and features fine performances from Johnson, Madsen, and Connelly. And a sound track featuring John Lee Hooker, Miles Davis, and Taj Mahal!! My God, Hopper has impeccable taste!
Entertaining Moive
The Hot Spot is an incredibly hit, with the various positive elements in the film hurt by a seriously overlong running time. The most effective aspect of the film is Johnson's performance. By shedding his usual cocky grin and confident swagger, he manages to turn Harry into a character that's so sleazy and self-serving he can't help but be fascinating. As he ambles into this small town, we get the sense that he believes it's the sort of place he could own - with the help of some conning and stealing. It's certainly an eye-opening performance.The movie is mostly entertaining
