In all other respects, it's a classic film noir that harks back to the movies of yesteryear in which a mismatched couple embark on a torrid affair. It's a film that makes you shuffle and sweat as you watch, set as it is in the searing Florida heat. Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 5 / 10 Decent mood pieceīODY HEAT is all about the mood. It's a perfect movie in every way.Īlso starring Ted Danson, Kim Zimmer and A.J. Lawrence Kasdan made a fine directorial debut here, and went on to cast Hurt in "The Big Chill" and "I Love You to Death". I dare you not to feel sexually aroused while watching it. Of course, cinema from the old days wasn't allowed to show what "Body Heat" does. Obviously, the movie is intended as a tribute to film noir, and it certainly succeeds. To be certain, Kathleen Turner looks like a cross between Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Montgomery (could there be a sexier combo?). Of course, this steaminess (in multiple senses) only adds to the chemistry between Hurt and Turner.
It's in Florida amid a heat wave, and everyone is constantly sweating.
The movie's setting is absolutely perfect. William Hurt plays an incompetent lawyer who befriends sultry Kathleen Turner, and the two of them scheme to get rid of her rich husband (Richard Crenna). Wow! You've NEVER seen anything like "Body Heat"! Seriously, this is one move that's bound to grow on you. Reviewed by lee_eisenberg 10 / 10 humid suspense
