Review of Blow Out (1981) by Spookie M — 06 Jul 2008
Possibly John Travolta's best performance as Jack, a film sound effects recorder who accidentally sees and records a "blow out" that kills a politician and almost kills Sally (Nancy Allen), the politician's mistress. DePalma knows what he's doing and the audiance is simply helpless to protect the characters. This is no more evident than in the tear jearking ending, which refuses to conform to the standards of the suspense thriller.
A real classic!
