DanTheMan 2 A low-rent 90s neo-noir erotic thriller, Body Shot is the kind of film I feel would be better remembered had it been given a bit more money to throw around to truly capitalise on its ideas. It's obviously exceptionally cheap in some areas but the film is rather daring in trying to do quite a lot with a little, piling on twist after twist to keep the viewer guessing till the very end, all accompanied by occasionally cheesy action sequences and fist fights that border on laughable. Director Dimitri Logothetis captures that cold neon harshness of 90s LA with some decently lit and photographed night sequences, it's got an easy-going yet down-and-dirty vibe that I can't help but love. The man just can't shoot an action scene for the life of him. I do feel for Robert Patrick, the dude had just made it big with Terminator 2 and was subsequently thrown into the wilderness of quickly produced direct-to-video fodder, and yet he delivers a mighty fine performance here. The chemistry he shares with the stunning Michelle Johnson is lovely although it is Ray Wise who gives the film's best performance although deserved way more screen time. Clif Magness delivers a respectable enough score but it's the songs that truly make the picture and form the main reason I initially wanted to watch this in the first place. Body Shot is unquestionably a film from the heydey period its genres, seasoned with just the right amount of mystery, deception, sex, murder and a sizzling atmosphere making for some sleazy fun that never left me bored. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Audience Member Quite a thriller. Although it is really comprised of the borrowings from other famous films, it looks decent and can be viewed with interest. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
