Hot Wired

About This Movie

Hot Wired is one of those action flicks from the mid-90s that doesn’t really get the credit it deserves. The atmosphere is gritty, with a real sense of urgency that keeps you glued to the screen. The pacing bounces between frenetic chase scenes and quieter moments, creating a beat that feels both chaotic and engaging. Practical effects are used throughout, giving it that raw edge that CGI often lacks, which is kind of refreshing. The performances might not be Oscar-caliber, but they have a certain charm that suits the film’s vibe. It's not your typical blockbuster; there's a roughness to it that adds character. A unique piece for anyone interested in the lesser-known gems of that era, for sure.
