Killer Heat is a 2024 American crime mystery drama film directed by Philippe Lacôte, and written by Roberto Bentivegna and Matt Charman.

Based on Jo Nesbø's short story "The Jealousy Man", the film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Shailene Woodley, and Richard Madden.

When one of them ends up dead in suspicious circumstances, a damaged detective, Nick Bali, also known as "The Jealousy Man"[relevant?]

As the wealthy Vardakis family controls the police on the Greek island, she cannot get them to investigate the death, as officially it was a climbing accident.

Finding the Vardakis family yacht, Nick observes Elias leaving and follows him to a climbing spot at a cliff face, pretending to be an investigator from the Greek National Intelligence Service looking into Leo's death.

Penelope manages to get Nick proper clothes and an invitation to an exclusive political fundraiser hosted by the Vardakis family on their yacht.

Approaching Audrey, he tries to get her to respond to allegations of foul play but is thrown off the boat and ordered to leave the island.

Realising that the broken fingers on Leo's corpse were likely caused by someone stomping on them rather than from the fall, he calls Penelope to send away their security, keep Elias there, and wait.

The website's consensus reads: "A modern noir utterly lacking in intrigue, Killer Heat is disappointingly lukewarm.
