Blow Out (Criterion Collection)

In the enthralling BLOW OUT, brilliantly crafted by Brian de Palma (SISTERS, CARRIE, SCARFACE), John Travolta gives one of his greatest performances, as Jack, a movie sound-effects man who believes he has accidentally recorded a political assassination. He enlists the help of Sally (played by CARRIE's Nancy Allen), a possible eyewitness to the crime who may be in danger herself, to uncover the truth. With it's jolting stylistic flourishes, intricate plot, profoundly felt characterizations, and gritty evocation of early-1980's Philadelphia, BLOW OUT is an American paranoia thriller unlike any other, as well as a devilish reflection on the act of moviemaking.
