Hot Seat Ratings & Reviews
jackmeat
September 12, 2025
My quick rating - 4.7/10.
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
A ludicrous action fantasy full to bursting with lunkheaded macho banter and every cliche in the cat-and-mouse cyber-thriller handbook.
Film Threat
Bobby LePire
Intriguing, looks great, and has a tightly wound, exciting plot while still giving each character a moment to shine.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
The disastrously awful Hot Seat is about a computer hacker trapped in a chair that's rigged with a bomb. Viewers of Hot Seat will feel like they're trapped watching another kind of bomb: this atrocious movie.
North Shore Movies
Sean Burns
The problem with so many of these Randall Emmett productions is that their Ed Wood-level ineptitude isn't even any fun to watch.
The Michael Medved Show
Michael Medved
Silly and stupefying...it's easy to remain ice-cold toward HOT SEAT.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
A not-bad idea for a low-budget, mostly-one-set suspense story turns into a rushed, generic movie, cutting corners and missing potential at every turn, eventually disappearing from memory.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
I don't think I bought a second of this.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Lael Loewenstein
It felt like it had so many elements from so many films we've seen before... There was not much that felt new or fresh to me.
Splice Today
Stephen Silver
Features a 1990s-style plot, 90s-style gimmicks, and a 90s-style cast. Not particularly good on its own merits, but has some virtues as a nostalgia exercise.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
An inert, inane and inept mess that doesn't work on any level. It makes Liam Neeson's lastest snoozefests seem like masterpieces.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[S]creenwriters Leon Langford and Collin Watts clearly didn't think about how their premise would function as a movie.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
A silly, claustrophobic thriller....Rest assured that though Dillon might necessarily be glued to his seat for the duration, the movie will give you ample incentive to get up from yours and walk away.

Brian Orndorf
Shock is not present in the payoff of the film, and "Hot Seat" is no nail-biter.
