[MrBarlow]

Body Heat 1981.

A woman plots with her lover a shady lawyer to kill her wealthy husband.

This was a tense erotic thriller at its best, Kathleen Turner in her debut role played the part of the femme fatale spoiled wife . The film seems to be set in three stages. One the meeting, two the set up of the murder and three the aftermath. William Hurt gives out a great performance as the shady lawyer who is smitten by Turner (who wouldn't be) and the twist was a bit of a shock and unexpected. Ted Danson, Richard Crenna, Mickey Rourke and Kim Zimmer star alongside. After this film there was Fatal Attraction that lived up to this film with tense, and the so called other erotic thrillers that came out in the 90s were no match for this film. Recommended.
