Amusing as this may be, there's something a bit studious about "Body Heat." Kasdan's ceiling fans and Venetian blinds often come across as film school affectations.

Though Lawrence Kasdan's film is set in today's South Florida, its characters move through an atmosphere that suggests the confluences of decor and demeanor in a 1940s film noir.

There's no denying the narrative confidence that brings the film to its unfashionably certain double-whammy conclusion.

There's no mistaking the fact that Kasdan loves the tawdry genre he's working in.

While Body Heat involves murder, fraud, a weak hero led astray and a seductive, double-dealing broad, it also incorporates something new: a sexual explicitness that the old films could only hint at.

An excellent crime drama in the style of Raymond Chandler, James M. Cain, and Dashiell Hammett.

Suspenseful and supersexy.

Still regarded as one of the steamiest movie's of all time, Body Heat is a fantastic exponenet of how noir has developed.
February 08, 2008
Steamy, explicit and highly-charged film noir reworked with an 1980s gloss.

...builds slowly, then grabs you and never lets go.

Lawrence Kasdan's 1981 noir fable is highly derivative in its overall conception, but it finds some freshness in its details.

Body Heat is good enough to make film noir play like we hadn't seen it before.
