Reviews for No Way Out
A cleverly plotted thriller with impeccable performances. Costner is spot on as the man who finds it hard to play by others' rules, even if it may cost him his head.
It's the kind of intricately plotted suspense film with juicy secondary parts (Will Patton, George Dzundza, Iman, Howard Duff) that used to be churned out in the 1940s.
A superior example of the genre, a film in which a simple situation grows more and more complex until it turns into a nightmare not only for the hero but also for everyone associated with him.
Filme tenso, com bom ritmo e boas atuações. A revelação final não faz muita diferença no contexto geral – ao contrário, abre margem para alguns buracos no roteiro.
Kevin Costner-Gene Hackman thriller is twistier than the halls of the Pentagon.
It's so effective, in fact, that when it's all over, you might want to sit through the beginning again just to see if the end is justified by the means. I suspect that it is.
