BLOW OUT (1981) - ****

Brian DePalma's ultimate "Hitchcock-esque thriller", this time a film harkoning back to the sense of regret and possible, if dashed, redemption in the protagonist from VERTIGO and the voyeurism which accidently leads into a discovery of murder, like REAR WINDOW.

If anything, the ending is one that its a piss-punch to the gut, then a double whammy with the aftermath, to which one will never forget this film.

Reportedly cited by Tarantino as among his favorite films, as well as his citation for Travolta's best acting work, and really hes got a point.
