Review of No Way Out

No Way Out (1987)
The 5th Best film ever
25 January 2001
I cannot express in words how much i love this film, it is simply one of the greatest films ever made - and i mean that.

In my mind only The Godfather, The Philadelphia Experiment, The Deer Hunter and Twelve Angry Men are better than this film

It's riveting, it's fast paced, it's supremely acted, and to top it all off it has the by far the best movie twist i have ever seen - even better than the Usual Suspects one.

If there is a fault to this movie - than i fail to see it.

Gene Hackman as usual is brilliant playing the cold hearted ruthless SOB to a tee, Kevin Costner is also excellent as Farrell but it is Will Patton who steals the show in my opinion with a brilliant portrayal of absolute loyalty.

It has a chase - one of the best chases if you ask me.

When i first saw the ending to this film i was in shock - i just couldn't believe it - it throws the entire film out of the window.

10/10 - Superb. Highly Recommended.
