Blow Out Reviews

Solid plot but the ending was iffy

Blowout.

I loved this! One of the most unique and intriguing Neo noirs I’ve watched!

Classic suspense thriller. Great time Travolta in a very different role and the evolution of Brian De Palma’s writing/directing.

Intense and dark well directed conspiracy thriller from Brian De Palma.

Good story, Narrative and screenwriting, everything unfolds nicely, some interesting compositions and colors, great performance by Travolta. good movie. That last line though :/

amazing, gets your heart going

honestly one of the best movies i’ve ever seen. the acting was solid. the plot was amazing. brian de palma masterclass. the way they use sound. the suspense thru out was great. the romance was pretty good(usually can be too corny for me). the ending was so devastating. def a 9/10

simply put, there are things I haven’t seen before in this one, and for me that’s what it’s all about, that’s what I look for. and it’s very rare. multiple split diopter shots, colors used in a way I’ve only seen in apocalypse now from memory. it’s insane. it’s perfect. this is very much my thing

intriguing concept with a very dense and tight story.

impressive choices of camera shots for that era. hard to find something bold visually like that these days.

7.5/10 🦉🦉

That. Is a diabolical book end to a film Brian.

A giallo movie (without any gore scenes) a la Brian De Palma.

really good film didnt really expected to be this good

I had seen that this film had a Criterion release, but I knew nothing about it. I have to say it’s a pretty decent film. It builds tension so slowly that when it comes time for the climax you can’t take it! I’m not a huge fan of the ending, but overall it’s a solid thriller.

8/10

Everything except for like the last 10 minutes was great. Some terrible green screens and a confusing car sequence. The rest was incredible. 87%

Really intriguing. Loved the mystery and twists and turns. Really well crafted. The ending packs a punch.

Not a bad movie. The second half kinda lost me, but still pretty interesting overall.

Solid, but I was hoping to love it.
