Hot Blooded (1998)

I actually had hopes for this movie since I've seen Kari in a few other things and think she has some talent. Alas, this dud is a case study in what not to do in a screenplay. Completely undefined characters without a shred of likeability, and no plot whatsoever. Is it a road/buddy/comedy/thriller/romance/drama? The filmmakers don't have a clue, and neither do we.

Run away from this movie. Even by B-movie standards this movie is dreadful. It is also insidious in it's theme. The main theme is that people who reject society and have no respect for anything are cool and worth admiring. People who treat others with respect are losers. Guncrazy is a movie that speaks for the disenfranchised a lot better than this movie, see it instead.No normal kid would do what Trent does. State Troopers do not work as they do in this film etc. Seeing this movie makes you realize why writers use the hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold cliche. Mija is a completely unsympathetic hooker,who yes, has had a terrible life. However, she is such a terrible person the audience cannot identify with her.Usually there is one thing a movie can be recommended for, in this case there is none. It is such a ridiculous movie it insults the person who tries to identify with the main characters. The acting is adequate by B-movie standards and the direction presents nothing new or interesting.

During a sleepless night, I was switching through the channels & found this embarrassment of a movie. What were they thinking?If this is life after "Remote Control" for Kari (Wuhrer) Salin, no wonder she's gone nowhere.And why did David Keith take this role? It's pathetic!Anyway, I turned on the movie near the end, so I didn't get much of the plot. But this must've been the best part. This nerdy college kid brings home this dominatrix-ish girl...this scene is straight out of the comic books -- or the cheap porn movies. She calls the mother anal retentive and kisses the father "Oh, I didn't expect tongue!" Great lines!After this, I had to see how it ended..Well, of course, this bitch from hell has a helluva past, so the SWAT team is upstairs. And yes...they surround her! And YES YES! The kid blows her brains out!!!! AHAHHAHAHAHA!!This is must-see TV.

This is a guy movie and a pretty good one at that. The chick who plays Miya is drop dead gorgeous and her character is way uninhibited. She's a Terri Hatcher look alike and you can see by her filmography she's been in some good stuff. Everyone else in this flick should either blow their brains out or get real jobs. Especially Burt Young although the former fat guy from Rocky is pretty well cut for an old formally fat guy from Rocky.The scene in the theater will always date the film as being made at the same time as Alanis Morissette sold 9 billion copies of her first album.The final scenes of the movie are where it really deteriorates but it's worth the wait to see Trent's dad and try to figure out where you've seen him. (An Officer and A Gentleman)I caught this on Showtime as "Hit and Run" and if you're reading this so did you
