Review of Killer Heat

Killer Heat (2024)
7/10
Moderately successful neo-noir
26 September 2024
Watchable and even briefly evocative thriller. Great setting, atmosphere, and more than competent cinematography. Woodley stands out as a femme fatale. Gordon-Levitt makes the most of a generally solid script that has a few missteps. The dialogue, particularly the voice over, drops into heavy-handed pastiche every few minutes and that will probably seem bizarre to anyone too young to have seen Bogart. For all the tried-and-true dedication to the genre, they definitely could have gone for a more cut-throat ending, but they pull the punch at the last minute, which is significantly less satisfying.
