Blow Out

"One of Brian De Palma's best movies, Blow Out has been beautifully transferred onto DVD even if this MGM edition doesn't come with all the extras that its definitive release of Dressed to Kill does. The anamorphic widescreen transfer is flawless and the Dolby Digital 2.0 audio transfer is well balanced and clean. De Palma has often been accused of being an emotionless filmmaker and in the course of this taut, paranoid thriller, soundman John Travolta eventually disengages from the real world, more interested in capturing the perfect scream for his movies than in the people who make them."
