Reviews
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
Body Heat is good enough to make film noir play like we hadn't seen it before.
|
|
TV Guide Magazine -
An excellent crime drama in the style of Raymond Chandler, James M. Cain, and Dashiell Hammett.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
Kasdan's moody tribute to cinema's dark past set a gold standard for neo-noirs that has seldom been equaled.
|
|
Film Threat -
Aside from the over abundance of rather large glasses and sweaty actors, Body Heat succeeds fabulously, not only as an excellent example of a classic film noir but as a solidly executed production in its own right.

The New York Times -
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.
