Carlos I Blow Out isn't just a film, it's arguably Brian De Palma's finest hour, a true Hitchcockian masterpiece that keeps you on the edge of your seat with every frame. John Travolta delivers a career-defining performance as the sound engineer who stumbles upon a conspiracy, and De Palma's masterful direction builds an almost unbearable tension. The tragic wrap-up, a genuine chef's kiss of an ending, elevates the entire experience to something truly unforgettable. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Alfie M Blow Out features an unbelievable score that is the best part of the film (not an insult) and is beautifully crafted. While I'm not a huge fan of Brian De Palma this film is a very good thriller and totally unpredictable. Blow Out is a really depressing film and it's one I'll totally love more on the re-watch, John Travolta never gets old for me man most likely my favourite actor. Oh man the credits rolling reminds me of how much emotion is in the score it's actually beautiful, my only negativity towards this film is the incredibly slow middle, the opening incredible, ending most definitely amazing but the middle... Not so much. The script for Blow Out is amazing I feel like I like De Palmas scripts more than his directoral work. I do really enjoy and can appreciate this film and I don't know if I'm depressed or relieved after seeing the end, overall Blow Out will be most definitely better one I come around to. One of my favourite endings from the 80s for sure. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/23/25 Full Review Scott M It has some moments of intrigue at the beginning. But it didn't hold my attention. Nancy Allen is awful. Travolta is the only reason I watched until the end. The story just isn't strong enough to care, and the dialog is really terrible most of the time. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/01/25 Full Review JOEY B Fascinating how the movie is directed around sound. An all time great John Travolta performance. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Jonathan O Really thrilling conspiracy suspense film with two original cast members from 1976 Carrie returns including some of the crew from Carrie and Dressed to Kill and what Brain De Palma did really fantastic filmmaker he shows the magic of sound and editing and the secrets of cinema and really great cinematography and editing and the writing is good but the last act felt like "oh is that it" either that is really great thriller.
