John Travolta, Nancy Allen, John Lithgow and Dennis Franz star in Brian De Palma’s stunning thriller, influenced by Antonioni’s Blow-Up and Coppola’s The Conversation. Travolta is plunged into a world of paranoia, blackmail and political intrigue after accidentally capturing evidence of a murder while recording audio for a low budget exploitation film.
“4 Stars. A movie which continues [Brian De Palma’s] practice of making cross-references to other movies, other directors, and actual historical events, and which nevertheless is his best and most original work.” – Roger Ebert
