In the enthralling Blow Out, brilliantly crafted by Brian De Palma (Sisters, Carrie, Scarface), John Travolta (Saturday Night Fever, Pulp Fiction) 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 its jolting stylistic flourishes, intricate plot, profoundly felt characterizations, and gritty evocation of early-1980s Philadelphia, Blow Out is an American paranoia thriller unlike any other, as well as a devilish reflection on the act of moviemaking.

- New, restored digital transfer, supervised by director Brian De Palma, with DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack

Amazing
I had never seen this movie before and what better way to first experience this Brian De Palma classic than with the Criterion edition from Zavvi. Needless to say I enjoyed it extremely so and this is now ranking in my favourite of De Palma’s movies. Not my first pre order from Zavvi and not my last.
