(spoilers) I'd watched Lawrence Kasdan's "Body Heat" over 10 year ago, but didn't get around to reviewing it. Body Heat is one of Kasdan's best works both as a writer and director. Leads including support acting were all outstanding. The story is somewhat slow though rarely dull. Loved the locales in Florida and the early 80s. Enjoyed Danson and Preston injecting some shades of humor and levity. Music seemed fit for the content kind of like a James Bond movie somewhat with lots of saxophone. Kathleen Turner's character Matty has a burning energy, but what lurks behind it is far from benevolent, and Hurt's Ned is too far behind until too late. Dialog is very good, and Hurt is cynical but inquisitive. One of the best crime thriller's of the 80s as amongst the top of Kasdan's work. 8/10.
