Blow Out - 1981 - 6/10

Travolta stars as a movie sound designer who accidentally records what seems to be a killing.
As he slowly understands what he has gotten himself into, professional silencers circle.
Travolta is very good, Lithgow as a villain is terrifying.
If you enjoyed Blow-Up (1966), this DePalma vehicle is a decent clone.
More visceral, definitely, also with more suspense, though Antonioni’s film left the viewer with a haunting unease and sense of foreboding, that this does not.
