Exciting news for thriller fans! While we all eagerly await the announcement of the next James Bond, our top contender Richard Madden has a different treat for us. His new movie, Killer Heat, is now available on Prime Video. Despite the buzz on social media for the possibility of Madden taking on the iconic spy role, it seems that the murder mystery has not quite lived up to expectations for viewers.
Based on the short story "The Jealousy Man" by Jo Nesbø, the film follows a private investigator who finds himself on a small island in Greece investigating the mysterious death of a man. As he delves deeper into the case, he becomes entangled in a scandalous love triangle and uncovers the dark secrets of the island.
The film boasts an impressive cast, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt from Fight Club and Shailene Woodley from Divergent joining Game of Thrones star Madden. However, despite the star-studded lineup, the film has received a disappointing 17% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Viewers have criticized the movie as "boring" and "pointless," while critics have described it as "stiff" and "forgettable." One viewer, Daniel J, shared on the review site, "I didn't hate any specific aspect of this movie, just the overall concept. A free solo climber falling off a cliff? What a mystery."
Another viewer, Rory O, commented, "It's more like background noise. It could have been good, but it fell short." Perhaps the harshest review came from Carli L, who said, "This is the worst movie I've seen this year. JGL looks like he's in pain or constipated the entire time, and his outfit makes me want to gag. He gives off major creeper vibes, and his backstory with his ex-wife only makes it worse. Shailene Woodley looks like she's suffering just as much dealing with him. I usually like both of these actors, so I don't understand how this movie was made."
Despite the negative reviews, fans on social media were initially excited for the thriller after the trailer was released earlier this month. Many were drawn in by Madden's suave and sun-kissed appearance. One fan, Tin, joked, "FINALLYYYY ARGHHH MR MADDEN LOOKING SO HOTTTT, but I think I can already guess the plot twist of the movie."
Another fan, Corey, admitted, "I don't care if the movie is bad or not, as long as Richard is in it, I'm watching it." However, this is not Madden's lowest-rated film. That honor goes to Chatroom, which was released in 2010 and also stars fellow potential Bond actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
Speaking of Bond, Madden and Taylor-Johnson are both top contenders to take over the role from Daniel Craig, along with James Norton from Happy Valley and Rege-Jean Page from Bridgerton. Madden has been asked about his potential involvement in the franchise, but he remains tight-lipped, stating, "Lots of people talk, it's just talk... I'm just happy to be here, this is a crazy dream for me!"
