Body Heat [Blu-ray] [1981]

Although basically a riff on Double Indemnity, this almost forgotten, streamy thriller is worth checking out. It also has one of John Barry's best scores.

Excellent movie for suspense and thriller enthusiasts!

Well acted and nicely directed, Body Heat (1981) is suspenseful and entertaining. This neo-noir erotic film centers around a cocky lawyer, Ned Racine, and a lustful babe, Matty Walker. Both characters draw you in and the surprise twists at the film's end make it a delightful 'must-see.'

William Hurt's 2nd film and Lawrence Kasdan's first. Classic noir style drama set in the 80's. This is the classic story of the femme fatale who finds and seduces a hapless male simply to set him up for the big fall and walk away with all the goodies.

A film that updates a genre from the 40s while retaining all the period mood and atmosphere. This is a great movie. Sweaty, erotic, intense, very well acted and directed. If you love noir or neo noir, you will not be disappointed.
