Travolta is great at this kind of thing, and it's a surprise that his career didn't move more in this direction.
Blow Out's mystery, its thriller elements, and its sound and editing are all excellent, although I think the script suffers a bit at the end, and I didn't quite buy the completely jaded finale and worldview that Travolta/De Palma offer us.
I watched this movie back in September 2021 before it left the Criterion channel. I'm not sure why I haven't written about it until now, but I got briefly out of the habit of writing about the movies I was watching for a few months, and this film was one of the casualties.
