Blowout. Well it wouldn't pass the Bechdel test! Not necessarily a problem. It won't pass the realism test either. John Travolta in his big truck speeds through thousands of people and they all miraculously get out of the way and apparently no harm to any. And yet he still can't save the girl. So no happy ending either. For me, a complete mish-mosh-multi- genre of a film that doesn't work. But it was 1981 so I forgive it for that. I was never bored, but never particularly enthralled either. Of its time is probably doing it a service. But hey I'm not a political / conspiracy thriller fan so probably not the target audience. A meh 5 out of ten.
