- TriviaThe dialogue in the limo in which Tom asks the driver to raise the sliding partition was improvised and initiated by Kevin Costner. As the other actors' reactions seemed more natural than the scripted version, it was kept in the final print.

Featured review
No Way Out is a suspense movie set during the cold war. Political intrigue within the US government is the focus of the film. The politically powerful Brice accidentally kills his mistress. Things get out of hand and he decides to frame her other lover as a spy. He knows that she is seeing someone else but has no idea who. Farrel, her other lover, is the man assigned to her case. He realizes that the investigation will eventually expose him, and when the investigators begin using a computer to restore a partially developed polaroid of Farrel found in the dead girlÕs things he has a good idea of how much time he has. There are some tense moments as Farrel trys to expose Brice before he is caught. Also there are a string of neat twists at the end, which succeed in not being corny.
This is worth your time. I definitely recommend it for fans of military suspense or cold war movies.
