    Dressed To Kill

    One of Depalma's best movies. The direction is tight and taut..and the suspense and action all come together perfectly. Nancy Allen was pretty good. Michael Cain was good too. One of the more better performances in his career. I dont see how Angie Dickinson won the Saturn Award for Best Actress..she was more Supporting for me. But she was good too. LOVED the dream sequence at the end. That part always catches me with that damn mirror and razor. EEks!!

    B+

    The elevator scene was shocking. I think it was just as good..or even better..than the shower scene in Psycho.

    I want to see this. After accidentally coming across Blow Out I am on a mission to see all his films, it was that good! He is one hell of a director. Probably John Travolta's best movie! How does Dressed compare with to this one?

    Haven't seen Blow Out but if you like Giallo films then you are sure to like this. It has a good mysterious element and some wicked straight razor killings, the cast is also top notch. It is one of the better assembled films of it's kind and will likely be appreciated by fans of Euro style horror...

    Agree with steelba..this is a great stylish film. Blow Out is fantastic..agree with your Travolta comment and I think Nancy Allen is wonderful in both....I truly think you would enjoy this.

    Blow Out is the american version of giallo movie Blow Up. Both are good , but I prefer the giallo better.

    Like, so many people out there were trying to track this down. And it just...got delivered on a tweet. What the hell.

    Yes , I came across Blow Out looking for something to watch one day and mistook it for Blow up. I was going to watch something else when I realized my mistake but am glad I watched it, it was superb! I just noticed Blow Up is on tv this month which I indeed to watch. David Hemmings is in it!
