Clearly inspired by the style of a Martin Scorsese film, Hot Summer Nights is a try-hard that falls flat on nearly every end, focusing too much on style and too little on fleshing out interesting characters and a compelling plot. It benefits greatly from its attractive cast, strong performances and vibrant soundtrack, but that’s all Hot Summer Nights really has going for it. Good effort.
