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

Rating:  - AWESOME SUSPENSE FILM
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH REST OF VIEWERS,KEVIN COSTNERS BEST MOVIE,HES BRILLIANT.ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE CAST HELPED MAKE THIS MOVIE A 5 STARRER.BY ROSE
Rating:  - internal affair
I loved this movie years ago. NO WAY OUT is outlandish Hollywood fantasy that is not pretending, I don't think, to be anything other than entertaining escapism. If viewed as anything more serious, deduct 1 star from my rating. I glimpsed the blurbs included in the product description above and would agree NO WAY OUT is mesmerizing, but if you want a serious look at Washington power, the Pentagon, the CIA, etc., then check out fantastic documentaries like UNCOVERED TRUTH, THE TRIALS OF HENRY KISSINGER, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, etc., etc., here on Amazon. Getting your ideas about power from a Kevin Costner movie is stupid. In anycase, NO WAY OUT is an enjoyable "nailbiter". Very "taut" and "stylish" Hollywood filmmaking. Too bad about Sean Young. What the?? I'm going to look her up on wikipedia in a second. Back in the 80s... she was drop dead gorgeous. Hah, I made a joke.
Rating: - Nail biting stuff!!
Even though this movie is getting on in years, I watched it for the first time recently and found it to be a thoroughly entertaining, suspenseful movie. One sits there hoping there WILL be a way out...
Rating: - Nice slight of hand
For a twenty years old movie , No Way Out holds up very well. (From automobiles to clothing, it's easy to forget it is not a current release.) Like The Sixth Sense (Collector's Edition Series), the ending is a shocker and the build up exceptionally well crafted. If you've never seen the movie, you're in for a treat. If you have seen it and know the ending, it's still interesting to watch how the film makers lead the viewer along a apparently obvious path until the very end. Both films cleverly use movie clichés standardized characters to seduce the audience.

It is 1987, mid way through Ronald Reagan's second term. 1987 is the year of the Iran Contra scandal and a big stock market crash. The Cold War with the Soviet Union is still being waged, but soon it will come to an end. George H. W. Bush and Dan Quayle will be our next president and vice president. Naval hero Tom Farrell (Kevin Costner) is summoned to the pentagon by Secretary of Defense, David Brice (Gene Hackman). At a posh political function the dashing commander hits on a glamorous woman and is shot down. But he makes a brash exit, claiming she is interested, and she follows him to the bar. As they get to know each other, they exchange these tender words:
-----------------------
Susan Atwell: Are you one of them?
Tom Farrell: One of what?
Susan Atwell: These hypocrites. All posh and shiny getting ready for four more years of ******* it to the rest of us.
Tom Farrell: You're pretty cynical.
Susan Atwell: Adequate to the occasion.
=======================
They begin an intense affair, but as things start to get serious, it becomes evident that she is a kept woman, the mistress of a powerful man in Washington. Tom Farrell presses her for details.
-----------------------
Susan Atwell: It's David Brice, Secretary of Defense. Satisfied?
Tom Farrell: You know I work for Brice?
Susan Atwell: I guess that makes two of us.

Sean Young is great in this movie, but ... Read More
