Peter Gray The AU Review 1d
3.5/5
Sleazy in the best possible way, Body Blow is an unapologetic throwback to a genre that rarely exists anymore. Verhoeven would likely approve. Go to Full Review Kathy Fennessy Seattle Film Blog May 14
3/4
Body Blow has the look and feel of an '80s, neon-lit, NC-17 erotic thriller. Go to Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See May 14

4/5

4/5
