Review – Body Heat

Here we have Double Indemnity remade with a whole lot of steamy sex. John Hurt and Kathleen Turner star back in the days when they were still young enough to walk around onscreen with their clothes off. This is a good movie to watch when your A/C breaks down on a really hot summer night. That way you can really feel the sultry, stultifying atmosphere. Sadly, the whole Florida in the early eighties thing is the only thing that really works. The plot is yet another one of those twisted melanges of plots gone awry and conspirators engaged in an endless game of double-cross. Mildly amusing
