Description
The Hot Spot is best known to lecherous film buffs for Jennifer Connellys topless scene, but this sultry southern noir deserves more than prurient interest. Its arguably Dennis Hoppers best directorial effort (OK, so thats not saying much), and Charles Williamss 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 bosss insatiable wife (Virginia Madsen) offers him sexual favors and a lovely secretarys (Connelly) innocence is threatened by a percolating scandal. Nobodys 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
