Review of No Way Out (1987) by Andrew G — 01 Nov 2007
Washington, D.C. is filled with high profile players with many secrets. In a twist of anger the Secretary of Defense kills his mistress in ire of jealousy. To cover the murder, the Secretary of Defense and his trustworthy aide invent a Russian spy to frame for the murder. The man they hire to lead investigation caught with a burden hardest to bear. He not only knows the woman, he is her lover, and is unbeknownst pinned as the Russian super spy Ivan her killer.
I had little faith for No Way Out. A lot of people told me it was predictable and boring. Yet this movie has to be looked at when it was made. To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised with No Way Out. The plot line and superb performances kept me embedded in the movie. Will Patton in my opinion stole the thunder in this movie away from Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman, who are two very good veteran screen presences to compete against. No Way Out is a great spy thrill that keeps you on the edge of your seat. No Way out gets four solid hidden bugs out of five for all around solid movie.
