In Reply to: "Blow-out" is very good and often underrated. posted by Harmonia on June 23, 2009 at 09:45:24:

found it a little dry, a little of a cerebral appreciation. It just never grabbed me like others such as "The Parallax View," or "Three Days of the Condor."
"Blow-out" doesn't have the more formal dramatic perfection of the Coppola film but TO ME it's as good for the sheer energy, suspense, and brilliant pacing. Allen is properly vulnerable and Lithgow is terribly menacing, almost as much so as Olivier in "The Marathon Man."
I'm driven to say that I think "Blow-up" is at another higher--- far higher--- level than either other film. Antonioni made many landmark, truly great films and I think it belongs up there with any of its more famous, critically appreciated films.
