FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/killer-heat-review-a-forgettable-murder-mystery-bogged-down-by-heavy-exposition-and-over-the-top-twists/ "Killer Heat holds a talented cast, but the movie ultimately gets lost in tedious, exposition-driven dialogue, a lack of genuine surprises, and over-the-top twists. The performances are competent but can’t save a formulaic adaptation that also fails to meaningfully explore its prominent theme of jealousy. A bland, easily forgettable murder mystery of just 95 minutes that… feels too long. Something clearly went wrong." Rating: D-
