The Hot Spot Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The film might have been a camp hoot if it weren't for the fact that Hopper still believes in all this stuff - he likes his women molten, duplicitous, and in kinky high heels.
Three Movie Buffs
Scott Nash
This neo-noir film directed by Dennis Hopper is like a trashy pulp novel that you might read and enjoy at the beach.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I feel at home in movies like "The Hot Spot." They come out of that vast universe formed by the historic meeting of B movies and the idea of film noir - films about the soft underbelly of the human conscience.
The Dissolve
Nathan Rabin
It's a nifty, nasty, sexy, and sometimes very funny little paperback of a movie that delivers its genre thrills with a light touch and an agreeable sense of its own lurid ridiculousness.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Lazily made neo-noir that sinks its teeth into the genre's cliches with limited success.
Variety
Variety Staff
The Hot Spot 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.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
For all its genre touches, ''The Hot Spot'' is best remembered for its little eccentricities.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
[Madsen] keeps trying for Blanche DuBois and coming out with Gomer Pyle.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
"Hot Spot" will never go down as timeless, neoclassic noir. But, with its Hopperlike moments, over-the-top performances and infectious music, it carries you along for a spell.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
A pretty sexy and effective noir in broad daylight.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
The Hot Spot is an incredibly hit-and-miss affair, with the various positive elements in the film hurt by a seriously overlong running time.
Moviehole
Caffeinated Clint
Nothing to write home about, but still a middling hoot
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
comes dangerously close to clicking before fizzling out

Scott Weinberg
Maybe worth seeing just for Jennifer Connelly's numerous assets, otherwise it's a dry and wandering affair.
