Killer Heat is a contemporary noir film with not much going for it. Fortunately, the film is under 90 minutes and showcases the sun-drenched charm of Crete, making you feel like you’re on a dreamy vacation-until you realize there’s no real thrill to savor.
Despite the title, this film doesn’t ignite any sparks-more like a gentle summer breeze than the blazing inferno it promises. So, if you’re craving a gripping mystery, you might want to look elsewhere for the real heat!
