24 March 2022
The Awesome & underrated Robert Patrick (The Faculty, D-Tox, T2, Double Dragon, From Dusk Till Dawn 2:Texas Blood Money, Hong Kong 97, Zero Tolerance & many more) gets a well deserved lead role as LA paparazzi photographer Mickey Dane, a man obsessed with capturing pictures of celebrity singer Chelsea Savage & things turn dangerous when Mickey is set up to take photographs of a Chelsea lookalike & all goes wrong & must prove his innocence. There's a decent little supporting cast including B-movie veterans Charles Napier, Jonathan Bank & Ray Wise & a real gorgeous LA setting that sizzles. Robert Patrick has become my favourite actor.

Body Shot is a noir style thriller, a very early 90's Erotic thriller that is a product of it's era. Robert Patrick is excellent as always & he's an actor that looks & feels old fashioned like a 50's actor & perfectly cast in the role of photographer Mickey Dame. I've been a Patrick fan since the early 90's & tracked down as many Patrick films as i could back then on video & he's been a favourite of mine since. Body Shot looks Beautiful with gorgeous cinematography & such a 90's Nostalgic piece of filmmaking & a fantastic direct-to-video thriller. Even the music score throughout is perfectly early 90's with it's jazzy sound & again old fashioned style. I absolutely loved the opening of this movie with the beautiful jazz score over photo's of the singer Chelsea being developed, it's a perfect 90's thriller opening.

Although this sizzling erotic thriller was released DTV it's a fine suspense thriller that is at home in all it's sexy erotic action, sleazy, hot looking locations & B-movie fun. Makes me miss the 90's & video stores.

There's mystery, deception, hot sex, sizzling atmosphere, murder, beautiful music & a damn good Robert Patrick in this little awesome old school Thriller.
