Killer Heat

"Nice photography and costumes and an attractive cast can’t compensate for a flimsy screenplay that’s about to blow away in a warmish breeze" 

"Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a detective running from his past in a murder mystery that is mostly a stiff slog to get through." 

"'Killer Heat' has an intriguing story which fails to reach its potential thanks to a weak script with a plot twist that you see coming from a mile away (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 10)" 

"The director, Philippe Lacôte, does an okay job of unfurling the story, yet somehow it all lacks…heat. Maybe that’s because he wants the dots he’s connecting to be sentimental" 

"While it is entertaining, I can’t claim I found it very memorable. The cast is interesting though (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley star in a very boring murder mystery streaming on Amazon (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)" 

"'Killer Heat' promises all of the key elements of a noir mystery and delivers all of them. The problem is that 'Killer Heat' sticks so close to the formula for a successful noir that it fails to try and be anything original. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 10)" 

"[It] delivers something new and refreshing that deserves to stand out for its creativity and clever storytelling"
