Review of Blow Out

Blow Out (1981)
6/10
Blowout? Flat Tire!
29 October 2006
This movie was a hodge podge of confusing story lines. Characters seem to come and go without explanation. Nancy Allen's accent was painful - maybe not to somebody from Kansas, but anybody who ever lived in the metropolitan area had to be wincing every time she opened her mouth. It says something about Brian De Palma that while they were married, he took every opportunity to flash her body. And did she ever have a body worth flashing. Ever since I saw her flash it all in "Carrie" I kept my eyes open for any glimpse of that pure white body with a little hint of baby fat. Kind of soft and squeezable. As for the rest of the movie, even John Travolta's usual engaging acting style can't really save it. Just a routine thriller. Completely predictable.
