Blu-ray Review The Hot Spot – Blu ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

After falling on hard times following the disastrous reception of The Last Movie (1971), Dennis Hopper saw his fortunes take a turn for the better in the latter half of the 1980’s. This was due to the fact that he received an Oscar nod for Best Supporting Actor in Hoosiers (1986) and attracted strong critical notices for Blue Velvet (1986) as an actor while his directorial career was relaunched with Colors (1988). Riding the wave of these successes, he made The Hot Spot, a neo-noir that harkens back to the genre’s formidable roots. First released on DVD by MGM and on Blu-ray by Shout Factory as part of a double feature with Killing Me Softly (2002), Kino has brought the film back into print with this solo Blu-ray release.
