Review of Blow Out (1981) by Cody C — 22 Nov 2011
Very good suspense film. One of DePalma's best. It's hard for me to call it a 'great' movie though. The female lead was a little TOO dumb for my liking. And the last third felt a little slapdash, though the ending is in fact very good.
Definitely check this film out, but don't go into it expecting anything more than a popcorn movie that's gorgeous to look at. If this were made today, it'd be a fun Tony Scott / Denzel Washington movie.
This was that, for it's time.
