Body Language (1995)

Rate: 6
Viewed: 2/19

2/19: Tom Berenger does it again: making bad films better by his mere presence.

Continuing his run of erotic murder mystery pictures, Tom Berenger stars in Body Language, a trashy potboiler that never succeeds as a rip-off of Body Heat. At least, Nancy Travis has real moments, and it's easy to believe how her character feels about Gavin's unwarranted self-destruction.

It's a major turn-off when the femme fatale happens to look like Jodi Arias. In the middle of nowhere, Gavin is almost a victim of a random automobile accident, they meet, and trouble begins from there on. What happens next is predictable as ever.

All in all, Body Language is about a dick doing the thinking for the man.
