Surprisingly good thriller about a sound technician (John Travolta) who inadvertently records a tape proving that a senator's fatal car accident was actually an assassination. It hasn't aged well, but Travolta is decent; and -- reaching to the bottom of the barrel -- for the males in the audience, there's plenty of gratuitous nudity. Damned by faint praise? Maybe, but the plot is subtle enough that it's saved from mediocrity. It's no Blow-Up, but it's not bad.
