Good Thriller

Body Heat is more than slightly predictable up until the last ten minutes where it makes many surprising twists and turns and just plain shocks you.
The plot is very original for the time Body Heat was made. Now of course it is old standbye because so many films copy Body Heat but it was very good and original at the time. The screenplay is similar. It started almost a new genre of films. The dialogue is amazing and has also been coppied many times. The performances are all very fine. William Hurt is just plain wonderful in teh roll that mad him famous. It may not be his best performance but he is one of the best actors alive and has had better, but it is none the less wonderful. Kathlee Turner is also very good, but she is not quite Hurt. She gives the performance that made her a star and it is easily her best. I had up until now though she was completely lacking in talent and must now say that she is just mostly lacking in talent. The supporting performances are also very good, but not quite that of the leads. The direction is very, very good at times but fantures at times too. Making it I guess decent. The visual effects are pretty much the same as the direction.
A classic and great movie. |
