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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - No Way. Out.
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Costner-Good acting-will miracles never cease?
This is a great suspense thriller. Costner is 100% believable throughout, as are Hackman (as always!) and the rest of the cast. I was completely shocked by the ending. Great film!
P.S. Why not five stars? Low rewatchability.
Rating:  - Best movie Kevin Costner has ever made! An exceptional film!
Shel Natowsky, Ph.D.
This movie is Costner's best, without any hesitation. The performances by Hackman and Sean Young are also flawless. Supporting roles are well honed, as well. The movie has everything you could want in a film...I mean everything! The screenplay is wonderfully written, acted, directed, and presented.
Why is it that movies as superb as this one is cannot be made anymore? Everytime I run it, it never ceases to thrill me and to amaze me. If you want to see ... Read More
Rating: - Kostner at his best.
This early Kostner film is Kostner at his best. It demonstrates his screen magnetism and established him as a star. Great tension, twists and turns. Not a typical Hollywood ending.Great casting.
Rating: - If you love conspiracy, you will love this movie too!
This is one of the benchmark for the movies based on political drama and corruption in government departments. The story is about a secretary in Pentagon, and his attempts to cover-up the accidental killing of his mistress. The corrupt officers will not stop at anything to save the secretary from loosing his position. The defence secretary put Tom Farrell (Kevin Costner) in charge of the murder investigation and later uses him for the cover up by falsely accusing him of a being a KGB spy. The world ... Read More
