BLOW OUT (1981) Trailer - The Criterion Collection

In the enthralling Blow Out, brilliantly crafted by Brian De Palma, John Travolta gives one of his greatest performances as Jack, a movie sound-effects man who believes he has accidentally recorded a political assassination.

I met John Travolta last year and he signed my Blow Out poster. He recognised it was an original print and called the movie a classic. Clearly very proud of the film as he should be.

[fluff]

One of the most devastatingly brilliant movies I have ever seen. The ending is so twisted, and perfect.

Watched this after seeing Tarantino mention it in an old interview, such a great film. One of Travolta's best performances!

Came here from "Quentin tarantino 3 movies I would take on a deserted island"

[biskcuit]

The ending was twisted and dark AF. It made my brain oompa-loompa for straight 1 hour.

local theater is doing a blowout/blue velvet double feature this friday i'm excited :D

Travolta gave an intense performance at least worthy of an oscar nomination in this film.

[pjangels]

Definitely top five of all DePalma films.

[JeromeGentes]

Magnificent. The culmination of DePalma's early period, and Travolta's greatest performance.

[FlashNorton]

I can’t believe how good John Travolta is in this. I think Tarantino said this is the film that brought John to his attention.
The cinematography, the suspense, truly one of the better films I’ve seen and it really holds up

[Locadel]

Everybody’s talking about how underrated and great this movie is and how John Travolta was excellent.
But nobody talk about one of the scariest and greatest performances ever in a movie by John Lithgow, he was terrifying as a serial killer in Blow Out. And was even one of his first movies

[bigulf]

Absolutely love this film - criminally underrated at the time now only starting to get the love it deserves

[lucky]

Travolta & DePalma's BEST MOVIE!!! I wish they had a commentary track :(

[moviepeasantispeasanted]

Just watched this on 123movies yesterday. Brilliant film and one of Travolta's best performances. Also, gotta love De Palma's visual style he brings to the film.

[veryeyeofnight]

An exquisite De Palma thriller with stellar performances by Travolta and Allen. Overlooked and underappreciated.

[peterproductions]

Fantastic film. Might be my favorite of De Palma’s work, but that opening scream never gets old. 🤣🤣🤣

[ZINCOVIX]

Fantastic film.The blu ray was well worth it.

[Diggy]

This showed up on my recommendations on Tubi. This might be my new favorite Brian DePalma film.

[McNugget]

Amazing criterion release. Bought it for $30 at FYE. Worth every penny. The film looks and sounds beautiful.

[moviefans]

I just bought this film on Criterion Blu-ray today. Amazing! :)
