Body Heat review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 07/29/13
Ned Racine (William Hurt), a horny lawyer gigolo, tries to seduce married to Matty (Kathleen Turner), The score provided added to the sexiness and tension of the film. William Hurt and Kathleen Turner had good onscreen chemistry which was evident in the picture. The pace seems to dwindle with the overemphasized passionate scenes and the only time the plot got interesting was the crime angle. Maybe if this was directed by a Lynch or Cronenberg then it would have been more engaging, It was nice to see a young Mickey Rourke who had a small part. Supporting cast were average and the twist in the end didn't have much impact. Overall, Body Heat is no Unfaithful Wife, it is however viewable for those fans of noir related flicks that touches on greed and infidelity
