Sunset Heat

1992 · 90 min

A slick, sunlit neo-noir that coasts on mood and menace more than logic, easy to watch but rarely gripping.

Tagline: Sex. Money. Murder. It's a matter of degrees.
Overview: A former drug-dealer photojournalist returns to Los Angeles and helps friends terrorized by his ex-partner.
How it feels: Tense, dark, melancholic and cynical. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Crime, betrayal, greed, friendship
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
