Killer Heat is a moody, slow-burn crime mystery set in Crete, following private investigator Nick Bali (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) as he unravels the suspicious death of shipping magnate Leo Vardakis. Directed by Philippe Lacôte, the film embraces a classic noir style, focusing on family secrets, jealousy, and betrayal. While beautifully shot with Crete as a stunning backdrop, the film's slow pace and somewhat predictable twists may not appeal to everyone. Strong performances, especially from Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley, make it a solid, atmospheric watch for fans of old-school detective stories.
