Reviews


90
Variety - Unnamed
Seeps with atmosphere, unfolds at a deceptively relaxed pace, steadily accumulates noirish grit, then dizzily plunges into a Lynch-like plumbing of the dark passions and nasty secrets at the heart of Main Street, USA.
80
Washington Post - Desson Thomson
A crazy, intentionally ludicrous movie that's a lot of film-noir fun.
75
Chicago Tribune - Dave Kehr
Pretty silly. The Hot Spot certainly is, and it's occasionally quite entertaining for it, though the picture never really achieves a dimension beyond that of a Playboy Party Joke. [26 Oct 1990, Friday, p.I]
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Only movie lovers who have marinated their imaginations in the great B movies from RKO and Republic will recognize The Hot Spot as a superior work in an old tradition - as a manipulation of story elements as mannered and deliberate, in its way, as variations on a theme for the piano.
63
USA Today - Mike Clark
An overlong guilty pleasure. [12 Oct 1990, Life, 4D]
