Rewatched this to see if it really was good. I saw it when it came out, liked it, and have been defending it ever since but for the last few years haven't remembered a thing about it other than a shot of ScarJo on the steps. Super babe.

Happy to report that it IS great. I'm also happy to watch it after burning through a few of De Palma's best over the past few weeks. This definitely has the classic De Palma style that went way over my head back in the day. I also know now that the off screen director's voice in the movie is De Palma because I recognize him from the bonus features on the Blow Out bonus features.

Now I'm going to watch Hollywoodland, another film from the same era (film setting and release date...ish). Both are on HBOGO if anyone is interested. Hey, Ben Affleck as Superman! Hahah that's going to be fun.
