REVIEWS

Critical Rating: AAA

In the tradition of such mainstream classics as Flashdance, Staying Alive and Striptease, young men migrate to the big city in hopes of pursuing careers in dance. For director David Thompson, this is a near sequel to Showboys (a '97 release with a fate similar to that of its mainstream counterpart).

A few new faces crop up in Heat of the City. The plot is slightly overwritten and the sex underproduced, but the video rounds up a few pluses. There are solid performances from the veteran cast. Newcomer K.C. Hart pumps up the heat in several scenes. Romance is furnished by Kurt Young and the director Thompson, himself.

The plot's ending leaves the door open for a possible Heat of the City 2.
