The
overall pace is right and takes it time to build up tension. William
Hurt is a flawed lawyer who loves his women and at times seems
incompetent. Or it could be that he simply is lazy or burned out. It never gets discussed. When his character Ned Racine meets Matty Walker (Kathleen Turner) he is stricken with her. First pure lust then slowly it
becomes more. You can hardly blame the guy since Kathleen is incredibly sexy in this movie. To reveal the story further would be spoiling. Part of the charm
of Body Heat is not knowing what the movie is about. But the acting in Body
Heat is top notch. Ted Danson as
the dancing prosecutor makes an impression
even when he only has a few scenes. Same goes for Mickey Rourke who has only two scenes. But talk about coolness. Now it could be that if you are an avid thriller fan the plot could seem familiar. That should hardly be surprising since this movie is inspired by Double Indemnity (1944). And both movies
have been copied a numerous times. Only it does not matter since Body Heat
relies more than plot alone. The acting, the atmosphere and the direction make it more
unique. So definitely worth watching.
