Jealousy can push anyone to the edge and Prime Video is about to prove it with its upcoming release: Killer Heat. The film will feature three icons, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Shailene Woodley and Richard Madden.
The first trailer for the thriller confirmed what we all suspected: the story is packed with drama, romance and toxic madness that will keep you hooked from the first minute with a contemporary mystery in classic noir style.
The movie directed by Philippe Lacôte follows twin brothers who become entangled in a dangerous love triangle on a remote Greek island, and the investigation is left in the hands of “The Jealous One”, a wounded detective.
Is Killer Heat based on real events or a book?
“Killer Heat” is a work of fiction in which writer and producer Jo Nesbø explores themes of crime and drama through an invented narrative. It is not based on real events but is inspired by a short story.
Although his stories may be inspired by real aspects of human psychology or criminal behavior, the plots themselves are created by him and are known for their mystery and suspense.
What is Killer Heat about?
The story follows private detective Nick Bali, an American expatriate in Greece, who is hired to investigate the alleged accidental death of young shipping magnate Leo Vardakis on the island of Crete.
The victim’s sister-in-law does not believe the official police report. But what exactly happened to Leo and why? It turns out, two twin brothers are involved in a dangerous love triangle, and chaos ensues.
Despite the sun-drenched beauty of his exotic Mediterranean surroundings, Nick finds darkness at every turn: where the wealthy and powerful Vardakis family reigns as gods, where jealousy runs deep, and anyone could be a suspect.
