Rent Body Heat (2001)

Attorney Ned Racine's life coasts along in neutral - until he meets a siren in white (with a well-to-do husband) named Matty Walker. Ned knows Matty's the kind of woman a man would kill to be with. So he does. William Hurt and Kathleen Turner strike sparks in Lawrence Kasdan's Body Heat, a sexy, haunting tale echoing 1940's film noirs but changed with an energy and passion that can only flare in the 80's.Kasdan's assured directorial debut foreshadows the emotional textures he would bring to later films The Big Chill, The Accidental Tourist and Grand Canyon. Sit back and bask in this contemporary classic's wicked warmth.

Body Heat review by PT

A moder classic film noir

Kathleen Turner has never been better as the alluring femme fatale. Which is all the more remarkable given it's her feature film debut. William Hurt is also superb as the man she entices as a companion with her addictive loving. The plot is brilliant, with unforeseen twists and turns, and a most memorable ending. A gem of a film.
