Produced	1981 in United States
Runtime	108 minutes
Audio	English PCM 2-Channel Stereo
Subtitles	English
Overview	One of Brian De Palma's most acclaimed films, this brilliant fusion of the obsessive sleuthing of Blow-up and The Conversation with themes drawn from real-life political scandals (the JFK assassination, Chappaquiddick, Watergate) starts with sound technician Jack Terry (John Travolta) accidentally recording what might be explosive evidence of a deadly conspiracy. Brilliantly shot by the then recent Oscar-winner Vilmos Zsigmond, this terrifically stylish thriller co-stars Nancy Allen as the eyewitness who becomes the unwitting target of John Lithgow's serial killer as he ruthlessly attempts to bury all the eveidence. It's also a film about the filmmaking process: Terry Is originally hired to work on the low-budget slasher film Coed Frenzy, and later turns his technical skills to much more serious use as he tries to reconstruct a political assassination on film in a way that will stand up in court.
My thoughts	I really liked Blow Out

Another fine film from The Marx Brothers. I think I liked the previous one I watched a little better but this one still has plenty of good laughs. I especially liked the packing gimmick in this one. Recommended... well worth the time put in to watch it.
