Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

The Hot Spot is best known to lecherous film buffs for Jennifer Connelly's topless scene, but this sultry southern noir deserves more than prurient interest. It's arguably Dennis Hopper's best directorial effort (OK, so that's not saying much), and Charles Williams's source novel Hell Hath No Fury finds Hopper in a comfortable B-movie milieu, riffing on Double Indemnity with an overripe tale of sex, greed, and blackmail in an unnamed Texan town. Fresh from the final season of Miami Vice, Don Johnson stars as a shifty drifter, conning his way into a salesman job on a used-car lot, where the boss's insatiable wife (Virginia Madsen) offers him sexual favors and a lovely secretary's (Connelly) innocence is threatened by a percolating scandal. Nobody's really innocent, of course, and Hopper spices this languid web of secrets with enough trashy misbehavior to qualify The Hot Spot as a bona fide guilty pleasure. --Jeff Shannon

4.0 out of 5 stars Better Than `Basic Instinct`, May 7 2003
By Gus Mauro "coolbrezze" (Brandon,mb) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After Finnishing up MIAMI VICE Don Johnson Took on this great
role showing the audience a differnt and more versatile performance in one Harry Maddoux, a mysterious drifter with a
icy cold meanstreak in him strolls into a small texas town
conns his way into a salesman job for the town`s car dealership
gets himself involved with his boss`s young,insatible wife Named Dolly Henshaw as well as Gloria Harper, the dealership`s secrtary who hides a terrible secret and plan and commits the perfect robbery of the local bank. These chain of events gradulay move at a great pace so the viewer has the time to ingest the endless twists this film has. As with basic instict this film doesn`t just showcase sex and viloence it shows how greed, blackmail and murder can be part of the human nature and sometimes a deep seeded nature that`s hard to control. Harry at the end of the film gets what he derserves his trechous womanizing ways leads him to his own wrong doing and just before the closing credits you Dolly getting what she always wants as both she and maddoux driving out of town. Steamy love Scenes, a suspensful bank robbery, the scene where Harry talks his way out of trouble with the police. The Scene where Harry savagely beats up a man for refusing to stop blackmailing Gloria. A must see
film for fans of this type of film noir that is so good to watch.
Don Johnson did a fantastic, credible job backing him up with
a top notch cast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh, Jennifer!!!!, Dec 4 2003
By waybru (acworth, ga United States) - See all my reviews
It's true Jennifer's topless scene is very nice for us guys
but,that is not all this movie offers.The acting in this film is
good all way round. (At least in my eyes) Hopper is exellent at
bringing the southern heat to the screen and telling an offbeat
story that's fun to watch and that's what it's all about! I think
this movie is an overlooked gem and i watch it at least once a year!

Oh, Yeah!.... Did i mention Jennifer Connelly???

4.0 out of 5 stars More than the sum of Jennifer Connelly's parts., Sep 13 2003
By A Customer
I used to dismiss Don Johnson as a pretty boy who couldn't act. The Hot Spot proved me wrong. Virginia Madsen (Whatever happened to her?) is also great. Barry Corbin plays a Texas sheriff as only he and the late Ben Johnson could. Half thriller/ half Tennessee Williams, this movie is clever, funny and has an ending that actually surprised me -a rarity.

And if that doesn't do it for you, Jennifer Connelly (who is so sweet in this movie, you actually cheer on Johnson when he... No, I won't spoil it.) does have a jaw-dropping topless scene on the beach. I recommend watching the WHOLE movie though.
