Hometown boy Brian DePalma's Blow Out is more an homage to movie-making itself than the thriller it bills itself to be. Jack Terry (John Travolta) is a Philly-based sound technician who inadvertently witnesses the possible assassination of a governor while searching for sound for his current B-movie project. Sure, the film geekery is great, especially while dissecting the confluence of sound and image. But the best part is seeing early '80s Philadelphia in all its gritty glory.
