"Hot Spot" Misses Its Mark: A Futuristic Fiasco in Fashionable Disguise Agnieszka Smoczynska's latest sci fi thriller, "Hot Spot," is a jarring mishmash of 80s kitsch and post apocalyptic bleakness.
On the surface, it appears to be a commentary on our dystopian future under AI rule, but scratch beneath the stylish veneer and you'll find a narrative as rudderless as its protagonist.
The film's central character, Detective Djonny, is a peculiar blend of style and substancelessness.
