Barnes & Noble No Way Out generated lots of buzz during its 1987 theatrical release because of the steamy seduction scene that finds Kevin Costner and Sean Young grappling in the back of a limo. It is the nail-biting suspense subsequently generated by this taut thriller, though, that keeps fans coming back relish the film years later. It seems that Gene Hackman, playing the Secretary of Defense (to whom Costners character is CIA liaison), has been carrying on a clandestine affair with Young for some time. When she turns up dead, Costner is detailed to find her murderer -- knowing that the surviving evidence could point to him. Director Roger Donaldson milks this intense situation cleverly along the way, allowing audiences a peak into the labyrinthine workings of top-secret government agencies. The script, which loosely reworks John Farrows 1948 film noir classic The Big Clock, features more story twists in one reel than most thrillers put together, and Costner is thoroughly convincing as the loyal operative who races against time to protect his reputation...and possibly his life. Densely plotted and superbly acted, No Way Out keeps viewers riveted from the first frame to the last. Ed Hulse Interested in the song lyrics? - Check out themostlyrics.com!
