Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This implausible, but effective 1987 film stars Kevin Costner (Bull Durham, Wyatt Earp) as a naval officer and CIA agent who may not be what he seems. This sexy thriller is an espionage mystery and an enigmatic character study of two men trying to be faithful to the loyalties they hold. Costner begins a torrid love affair with the mistress (Sean Young) of the Secretary of Defense, but when she turns up dead, Costner is implicated in a web of intrigue that threatens national security and exposes personal secrets at the highest levels. The Secretary and his men try to cover up the affair while simultaneously searching for a Soviet mole in their ranks. Featuring an exciting chase sequence through the Washington, D.C., subways, No Way Out is a standard issue thriller that nonetheless keeps the action coming. --Robert Lane

Kevin Costner, Will Patton, Sean Young, Iman, Gene Hackman. Costner plays a Naval Officer (Farrell) working a tour in Intelligence at the Pentagon. He's having an affair with the mistress of the Secretary of State for Defence. Then she turns up dead, and Farrell finds himself in charge of the investigation to find her killer - only he's the one in the frame. Very competent, understated thriller: a welcome break from the hysterical spy films of today. Gene Hackman (as the SecState) and Will Patton (his Special Counsel) both lend solid support. The best Costner film I've seen.

Costner's naval officer Farrell cuts a dash in this fast-moving tale of cold war protocol and cover-up.A deftly-woven plot draws you into the cat and mouse chase,with Farrell assigned to find his lover's killer.Hackman's Brice is Secretary of Defence,and it transpires, also her ex-lover and accidental killer.And the fall guy is a concocted Russian spy.Fast pace and a few suprises in this immensely watchable "eighties" thriller.There's a twist at the end that will blow your mind.

Format:VHS Tape
This is an extremely good thriller, that gets better the more times you see it. Kevin looks very young, but really fits the part well. Gene Hackman and Will Patton are very good in this film, too. Sean Young does us all a favour and gets bumped off nice and early on, and from then on the chase begins. Lots of nice shots of Kevin in tight white trousers! The woman who plays 'Nina Beka' is a very good actress, and I particularly like the scene where Kev and Will go to visit her. One small error in the filming: when Susan takes the photo of Tom, he isn't in the same position when the photo is revealed later on in the film! I've watched this a lot - it really is a fantastic, 'on the edge of your seat' thriller! Watch it!

Dated Elements but Fun Movie
The first half an hour of this film really shows its age. The sex scene actually made me laugh when they showed the Washington monument- that kind of stuff would be consigned to... Read more

No Way Out - DVD
Very entertaining. Fast moving & with a surprise ending.
Background music excellent. A film I had seen before, but it does not disappoint with a second viewing.

Don't mess with your bosses girlfriend
Ignore the silly and superfluous beginning and end and just enjoy the dangerous relationship between Kevin Kostner and Sean Young under the very nose of Gene Hackman. Read more

Framed with a twist
This film is a good mystery of an accidental death involving the Secretary of Defense that is swept under the rug and has a fine pairing of Kevin Costner and Gene Hackman. Read more
