Where to Watch No Way Out
- Vincent ReggianniniJuly 11, 2025A great movie couched in a building mystery that ends with one of the most unexpected and shocking endings I can remember. The movie gains steam slowly, but relentlessly until it culminates in a tense resolution, only to completely douse you in cold water with a twist that I never saw coming. Kostner is appealing and convincing (as usual), Gene Hackman is great, Will Patton is fantastic as a dedicated government stoolie with his own selfish goals and a perverse fascination with power and hero worshipping, and Sean Young is sexy and fun. I always enjoy watching this movie whenever I come across it.
