In Washington, the Defense Secretary David Brice has a political dispute with Senator William 'Billy' Duvall about the project of a submarine. He asks his advisor Scott Pritchard to invite the Navy Lieutenant Commander Tom Farrell, who has become a national hero after rescuing a sailor during a storm, to join his team. Farrell meets Susan Atwell in a party and they have a torrid love affair. Farrell Learns that Susan is Brice's mistress but he falls in love with her. They spend a weekend together and when they return to Susan's apartment, Brice rings the bell. The upset Farrell leaves the apartment and sees Brice waiting for Susan. Brice has an argument with Susan and pushes her from the balcony. She falls on a glass table and dies. Brice panics and reports the accident to Pritchard. However, the Machiavellian chief of staff accuses the imaginary Soviet mole Yuri of murdering Susan. Farrell is assigned to lead the investigations to find the identity of Yuri, and gets in serious situation with the presence of witnesses of his weekend with Susan and the regeneration of a Polaroid photo that was found in Susan's apartment.
Commander Tom Farrell of the US Navy is hired to work for Secretary of Defense David Brice after being introduced by Scott Pritchard, Brice's General Counsel and Farrell's former college mate. At that meeting at a ball, Tom also meets the seductive Susan Atwell, the two who embark on a relationship which blossoms into love on both sides. It isn't until they fall in love that Susan discloses to Tom that she is Brice's kept mistress. When Brice discovers that Susan is seeing another unknown man (Tom), Brice accidentally kills her in a fit of jealous rage. In an effort to protect Brice against being charged for murder, Pritchard devises a plan that they will pin Susan's murder on a suspected but unsubstantiated Soviet spy, code named Yuri, who would have used her to gain intelligence into US military secrets. Yuri is to be whoever was Susan's lover, who they are unaware of is Tom. When they hand the case to Tom to investigate, they do not tell him that Brice was actually the one who killed her. During the investigation, Tom has to protect himself against anyone who may find out that he was Susan's lover and thus the suspected Yuri while finding out who really did kill Susan, which may be difficult if only because of Pritchard's goal to protect Brice at any and all cost, no matter who gets in the way.
&quot;No Way Out&quot; is simply one of the best Kevin Costner movies I&#39;ve ever seen. I believe this was where he scored his first break as a talented action star with his sexy and heart throb good looks. The cover up story is very nerve racking that you can really feel the suspense around it. The movie runs for almost 2 hours and it takes you around the Washington DC area &amp; the Pentagon and is worth watching over &amp; over again. The chronology of episodes really intensifies the viewers until the whole cover up explodes at the climax. The movie also ignites with passion, as Kevin Costner fell for the Secretary of Foreign Affair&#39;s mistress played by Sean Young. Of course, Gene Hackman, one of the all time best actors around, also played a good role as the Secretary of Foreign Affairs. Sex &amp; politics is just a hot topic of our times and in the coming November 2000 elections especially when loyalty and integrity and devotion to your job &amp; countrymen come into play. That&#39;s what this movie stirs some criticisms but not this extreme.<br/><br/>Fast-paced, suspenseful, and exhibiting all the aspects of a classic Soviet-era spy game drama, &quot;No Way Out&quot; will have you poised on the edge of your seat. The story is really well done &amp; shines in the movie. The camera-work is really good, as is the music, special effects, &amp; the pacing, but the pacing is uneven at spots but generally well done. With a fine supporting role from Will Patton (who would later appear in the less successful &quot;The Postman&quot; with Costner) &quot;No Way Out&quot; keeps you on the edge of your seat from start-to-surprise end finish.<br/><br/>Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
Did anyone else  notice the similarities  between NO WAY OUT and  the CIA-leak/Valerie Plame investigation. You have a spy, a mole, a biggie in trouble, a slimy, cocky right-hand man who will give everything to protect his boss (Patton&#39;s character Pritchard even *looks* like a thin Karl Rove). Also you have an investigation which the perp  wants desperately to subvert. Also you have the  ticking  clock motif. Also you have animosity between different Washington cliques. Also Sean Young who gets murdered and Valerie Plame who might get murdered (it&#39;s conceivable) are tall and pretty. Is it just  my imagination or was  this film  strangely prescient???
No Way Out is a superior example of the genre, a film in which a simple situation grows more and more complex until it turns into a nightmare not only for the hero but also for everyone associated with him. At the same time, it respects the audience's intelligence, gives us a great deal of information, trusts us to put it together and makes the intellectual analysis of the situation one of the movie's great pleasures.
