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.

Still regarded as one of the steamiest movie's of all time, Body Heat is a fantastic exponenet of how noir has developed.

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.

Suspenseful and supersexy.

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.

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

Steamy, explicit and highly-charged film noir reworked with an 1980s gloss.

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

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

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