    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
