Kat Graham and Merritt Patterson in Heatwave (2022)

User reviews

Heatwave

5/10

I liked the acting despite the flawed plot

The actors did a good job given the fact that this is a mediocre movie.

I found so many flaws in the story which was the worst part.

Is it predictable? Yes, but the director tried hard to make it different by adding unknown events from the past of two characters which added additional flaws in my opinion.

In general, watchable.

couldnt make it to the end

I thought it will be some kind of a thriller but it is not, putting a melodramtic and tension music along the secenes doesnt make it a thriller.

Acting not so good and script is below average i think.

Maby il give it another chance if i really had nothing to see.

TV movie with bad plot

A smorgasbord of cheese.

So bad it might be good? It has so many pinch points of terrible dialogue delivered so earnestly that it in itself was entertaining. The plot is mind blowing. And the delivery of the plot in the last five minutes will have you out if your seat, potentially to leave and not actually watch the ending, but I felt I owed it to the people who worked on this to make it to the credits. I can't decide which cringey character I like the most but I think the one that deserves the gold medal is the refreshingly stereotypical tired run down cop, 60 years on the beat cracking cases but with this one case that haunts him burning his soul in such a moody dark fog that he tries to deny with jovial happy questions and form a bond with potentially serious criminals he has just met. Also for his propensity to call his other stereotype partner who he just often calls partner and shouts at in a lethal weapon fashion but with lines more akin to a hallmark movie. Try watch it as an exercise in patience and you may enjoy the cheese of different flavours, they do their best in this film but the dialogue is just hilarious.

Poorly done

I thought I'd enjoy but not. Good story but the acting more like child's play. Could have been done better. The actors had it in them to bring their best but the flow is poor. Continuity could have been well done. The direction could be better. Kat Graham seems like a great actress. I feel she was wasted here. But she did great. I liked her acting.

slow first half and twisty second half

Claire Valens (Kat Graham) is climbing the corporate ladder while hounded by a fiery past. She becomes the new favorite assistant to land developer Scott Crane (Sebastian Roché) climbing over Lane (Aren Buchholz). She is seduced by Eve Crane (Merritt Patterson) before knowing that she's the bosses' trophy wife. When Scott falls to foul play, police detectives Parker (Roger Cross) and Arlo Leonard (Cardi Wong) investigate. They start focusing on Claire especially with her past.

The first half is slow. It's not erotic enough to be erotica. It has no thrills. There is barely any drama. It is setting up for the second half. The second half starts off well enough with the crime and investigation. It has a good mystery for awhile until the twisty reveals start happening. The first one is expected. The second one comes out of nowhere and really screws it all up. The third and final one could be workable if the second one isn't there. The first half is bad. The second half ends up being bad.

Thriller with just the right amount of sizzle

Heatwave is an underrated thriller that kept me interested till the actual end. There was just the right amount of mystery and suspense to keep you guessing on where the story was heading. The love angle with the two lead actresses was done perfectly. I gotta admit that I love movies that mix in just the right amount of sizzle to go along with a good amount of suspense.

Merritt Patterson is absolutely gorgeous and the best part of the movie for me. She's the perfect blend of sexy along with a good amount of hot girl next door.

Hey we're not talking an Oscar worthy movie here. But .... It was entertaining, the acting was pretty good, and a movie that I enjoyed.

Kat Graham is still sexy

Though we see an ensemble of a talent, the storyline not only falls shorts but resorts to NBC styled cliche of twisted affair in consequence that clashes with the main characters troubled and disturbing past. One thing for certain is Kat Graham's natural hair is element to reminding audiences that her sexiness has always been something she was born with.

We meet Claire a thriving woman who's past behavior cokes into question though she can fool audiences with innocence or scorned she meets her match in the form of being the mistress of a high profiled entrepreneur not only is she wife of her CEO but she entangles herself in their lives not to social climb but to hide her true personality of a rather troubled woman. It reunites her with a Vampire Diaries costar and uses allegory of the excessive heat all while falling in and out of art house featured films, not too worthy of its praise but well enough that the central cast deserves their recognition.

Great thriller movie

This movie will keep you on your toes and the love story is amazing. Watch this when you wanna feel something. I loved watching it because of the love story but then you can't figure out who is the bad guy until the end. Recommend this for people who like thrillers and romance combined into one.

Kat Graham is always worth a watch

Quite cliche and the plot is very transparent to the point you can predict what's about to happen next yet I'm here for kat Graham she makes it worth watching Is it "gone girl" level? No... but it's close enough.

We get quite a lot of character arc from almost all the cast which adds to the plot the movie title doesn't really reflect the plot too well Yes this all takes place during a heatwave but it is more centred on romantic heat & chemistry. A fatal love affair, murder, secrets and money it's definitely worth more than an overall 5.0 rating

This might have been better as a limited series but I'd recommend it for others to watch

8/10.

Very good and underrated...

Claire, an ambitious young woman, starts working for a rich and successful businessman, but unknowingly gets involved in an affair with his wife.

Despite the negative reviews, I consider it very good, just my style, that police thriller that keeps you hooked on Sunday nights, but doesn't demand you mentally (a simple and chewed-up ending, with all the characters interconnected, and didactic flashbacks) and a drama that doesn't consume you emotionally, light, unpretentious, fulfills its purpose well, an excellent plot twist, with a background (really deep) of solar heating... Very good and underrated...

KAT GRAHAM!!!!

That's it, that's all. She's amazing, i'll watch anything with her in it and i'll never be disappointed cause she's an ACTRESS. Katerina Graham acts. I enjoyed it very much cause it was a nice change from the usual love interests shes had in the past as well as other roles. I know none of the actors promoted this movie, Kat included, I believe it was meant to be on a different streaming platform but things didn't go to plan which sucks but I'm glad that I got to see the movie at the very least.
