Trailer for Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley's Murder Thriller KILLER HEAT
Prime Video has released the trailer for the upcoming murder crime thriller film titled Killer Heat, which is based on the short story "The Jealousy Man" by Jo Nesbø.
The movie comes with the tagline, "Jealousy can drive you to the edge.” It’s also described as a “thrilling, contemporary mystery in classic noir style” film and it stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley.
Killer Heat follows private eye Nick Bali (Gordon-Levitt), “an American expat in Greece, hired to investigate the supposed accidental death of young shipping magnate Leo Vardakis (Richard Madden) on the Greek island of Crete.
“The victim’s sister-in-law (Woodley) doesn’t believe the official police report. But what exactly happened and why? Despite the sun-drenched beauty of its exotic Mediterranean locale, Nick finds darkness at every turn: where the rich & powerful Vardakis family rule like gods, where jealousies run deep, and anyone could be a suspect.”
While the movie has a strong cast and it looks like it was beautifully shot, the story comes off as being a uninteresting and generic crime thriller. But, maybe it will be better than how this trailer portrays it.
Killer Heat is directed by Ivory Coast and Amazon will release it on Prime Video on September 26th, 2024.
