Description: From where came Harry Madox to this Texas hick town? We do not know … What did he do before? We do not know … Who is he? We do not know … but we understand that he’s here – and random people will not stay long. His only problem – how to pass the time. Is that going to a local bar, known as “hot spot”, so drink it until you’re drunk? .. Or respond to a feminine look, forgetting that in calling a wife of your boss? .. However, there is another option … What if rob the local bank? ..
Review: Dennis Hopper is known to movie-goers around the world for two reasons. The first and more common – a great many played a negative role, which allowed to talk about the actor, as the main villain of Hollywood of the late 90’s – early 00’s. Second – his debut directorial work – “Easy Rider”, which can be a lot to say, but today, a time to remember Hopper is different.
Harry Madox arrives in a run-down town, somewhere in the South, the hot state. It is from someone or something running here for him just stop, pause along the way. Fun and in a hurry to make money – his goal. But in any American town characters are ready to enterprise, thrift and greed compete with guest performers, even first grade.
In the very beginning, comes to mind «U turn» Oliver Stone, who, of course, was later. The comparison is clearly not in favor of the “Hot town.” Even for a 90, the picture seems outdated. Simple, no frills is the story of a man caught in the nets of vices, including their own. And the timing of two hours for criminal-melodramnoy tape – luxury and inexcusable waste of time to viewers.
This is the main disadvantage, along with weak dynamics. But enough about something that is not enough, because you can talk about what the movie is. And even when it comes to unusual candor today. Jennifer Connelly, Virginia Madsen, as well as a number of unnamed strippers will show viewers what viewers see in the vain hope to present scenes that only dared to hint at the fact of sex scenes.
The plot, though it turns sophisticated audience will be surprised, could provide power for the entire film, with the right approach in the process of installation. It seems that Hopper regretted his colleagues and did not have to hack the footage, leaving all the good takes, even if the stage hung a dead weight around the neck of integrity. But even so, the atmosphere is stuffy town recreated well. Feel your skin burning sun, the heat of fire or cool night lake perhaps even with little effort of the imagination.
Actors in its images are organic and do not tense up, the audience already knows what to expect of them, no need to re-prove the obvious. Separately pleased faces familiar from the cult TV series “The X-Files” and “Twin Peaks.” It is a pity that he is not Dennis found a small role, at least a cameo.

not crappy at all! like a reminiscence of film noir but meeting with typical 1990s elements. Don Johnson is once again acting cool, Virginia Madsen is a surprising femme fatale and Jennifer Connelly skinny dipping is worth watching that neo-pulp-noir flick
