The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
This is by far the most fun I've ever had watching a cheap Blockbuster porn movie. I watched it with a few of my friends and the sight gags had us rolling. From the guy who walked out of a bar, followed shortly after by a dog walking in, to the hustler trying to sell a hot car to the awesome, now legendary-among-my-friends song that plays on the radio ("I got my PHD...IN LOOOOOVEOLOGY!"), this is one for the ages.
IN THE HEAT OF PASSION is one rare erotic thriller that achieves what it sets out to do, with the help of a gracefully aged Sally Kirkland(imagine Shannon Tweed in five years). Kirkland plays a busty Kirkland plays your typical bored, rich housewife who has dangerous sex with many young men.There are a few twists to the plot, so I won't give away much, except that there is plenty of sex and kinkiness to keep you entertained until the end. Some of the scenes are kind of limp, but the decent production values, and Kirkland's performance, elevate this direct-to-video sleaze to the top of the lot.If you are a jaded erotic thriller fan, this is for you.
