“Jealousy can lead anyone to the edge.” one of the most powerful lines of the trailer of the Prime video release, “Killer Heat” that released on September 26, 2024.
The plot of the film revolves around a love triangle between a girl and two twin brothers. The movie is a thriller suspense drama, that shows how one of the brothers is killed by throwing him off the cliff. A detective is hired by the lady, because the family was a rich Greek family and had the capacity to buy the local police so she couldn’t trust the local police.
After a lot of research and findings, it is a suspicious grand reveal at the end, that the man who was killed, was not the man they expected was killed, rather it was his brother and the man whom the family thought was dead, was standing beside them. The lady who hired the detective already knew this, but her brother in law took over her husband’s identity and forced her to stay, for which she hired the detective to expose him.

Killer Heat: Reviews
Prime Video’s “Killer Heat” has received largely mixed and low reviews and opinions from critics and audiences. The film has a rating of 5.6/10 on IMDb. Let’s take a look at what some critics have to say about the film.
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.
– Owen Gleiberman (Rotten Tomatoes)
Killer Heat will not go down as the worst Nesbø adaptation out there but it will definitely be the most forgettable.
– Benjamin Lee (Rotten Tomatoes)
Killer Heat has an interesting premise and a cast that could have given much more, but the movie fails to captivate or generate the necessary tension to keep the audience hooked.
– Juan Pablo Russo (Rotten Tomatoes)
The twists and pedestrian dramatics are a stiff slog to get to, and Gordon-Levitt’s once innate charisma has vanished altogether here.
– The New York Times (Metacritic)
A dull and predictable sunshine noir that wastes the time of those involved as well as ours.
– The Guardian (Metacritic)
