Thrilling Use of Sight and Sound

In a tour de force of editing, camera angles, and other visual tricks, Brian De Palma crafts a tense and inventive crime thriller. All the pieces fit together here, led by strong performances from Travolta and Nancy Allen. Dennis Franz and a creepy John Lithgow round out an impressive supporting cast. The film manages to adopt a gritty, arthouse film style, while still working as a coherent and engaging thriller.
