Erika Eleniak, Barry Bostwick, and Brian Wimmer in One Hot Summer Night (1998)

One Hot Summer Night

5 reviews
5/10

Christopher Darden Can Act

When I noticed that Erika Eleniak was starring in this picture, I knew that I would enjoy seeing her act after she had a hard battle with drugs and booze. Erika was married to a rich dude lawyer who she is accused of killing because she did get involved with a so called Hit Man. This Hit Man acted like a devil on wheels and offered any kind of evil services that you might require. Christopher Darden,(Detective Mingus), ( former prosecutor against O.J. Simpson) did not trust Erika Eleniak and believed she actually killed her husband. There are a great deal of court room scenes and many twists and turns in the story. However, the ending of the film was very surprising and enjoyable.

Money and love make us do strange things

A hard nosed businessman and a lawyer fall for the same woman. When the businessman is murdered the police naturally eye the woman and her attorney as the top suspects. Using a series of flashbacks a plot of shrewd conniving unfolds and the dupes play their parts exactly as planned. I thought the criminal's doings were a little transparent and the ending more than a little predictable but still it was a passable film for a lazy afternoon.

Great Surprise Ending!

It is always good to see lovely Erika! However, worth it to watch this just for the surprise ending; one of the most surprising endings in cinema history! Any of you that will say you knew the ending is a liar! NO WAY!

Boring predictable trash

This loser is yet another LMN women's rights-type film. We are always subjected to some dumb bimbo going around acting the victim and the male species are made out to be the losers. Sorry I'm one who doesn't think Erika Eleniak is such a hot dame. To me, she's a poor man's Muriel Hemingway. Those eyebrows that grow together for one thing. Too much eye make-up that resembles a raccoon.

In this stupid movie only one I feel sorry for is Barry Bostwick for being forced to make the damn thing. Too good an actor for this trite. Anne DeSalvo as a detective is running around acting serious over a dumb plot. Only saving grace is Locklyn Munro who has a sense of humor about being in this loser. Please, no more Eleniak.
