Review of No Way Out (1987) by Harry W — 29 Jan 2013
I don't know if I saw this film before tonight (on tv) - it is a pretty good thriller starring a young Kevin Costner and a seedy Gene Hackman along with a doomed but appealing Sean Young. Hackman is an unfaithful husband keeping a young woman (Young) as his plaything and she becomes involved with a rising officer (Costner).
Costner's officer is attached to Hackman and then becomes embroiled in an affair as the "backdoor" man to Hackman's mistress. She is killed when the jealous politician pushes her off a a high stairway, having confronted her about a suspected lover, then an aide helps the politician cover up the death.
Costner discovers the cover-up and the race is on, Costner to get to the truth, while the aide and his lackeys attempt to deal with any loose ends. 10/10.
