In the lead-up to GTA VI coming out, I am watching a big 'ole pile of South Florida-set movies, some for the first time, some as I haven't seen them in a while. First up: Body Heat. I'd never seen it before. My review? It's good.

Okay, so I should say more about it I guess. I love the vibes in this movie. The sweat, the lingering shots of people doing... whatever they're doing, whether it's driving, walking, watching, or fucking each other insensible.

It's an especially interesting film to see having grown up watching (and watching, re-watching, and watching some more) Wild Things. Lot of similarites, really. In a lot of ways this feels like a sweatier remake of Double Indemnity, and that's not a bad thing. Especially as it has a better ending.
