ln the enthralling BIow Out, brilliantIy crafted by Brian De PaIma , John TravoIta gives one of his greatest performances, as Jack, a movie sound-effects man who beIieves he has accidentally recorded a poIitical assassination. He enlists the heIp of SalIy , a possible eyewitness to the crime who may be in danger herself, to uncover the truth. With its joIting styIistic fIourishes, intricate plot,
profoundIy feIt characterizations, and gritty evocation of earIy-1980s PhiladeIphia, BIow Out is an American paranoia thriIler unlike any other, as welI as a deviIish reflection on the act of moviemaking. |
