Reel Talk Movie Discussion: Blow Out (R) [Online]

John Travolta (Get Shorty) gives an outstanding performance as a B-movie sound-effects editor who inadvertently records the car crash of a presidential hopeful. But the more he listens to his recording, the more he comes to believe that the accident was hardly that, but, rather, an act of political assassination. With the help of an eyewitness (Nancy Allen, RoboCop), Travolta attempts to unravel the web that has been unwittingly spun around him and uncover the truth. John Lithgow co-stars.
