Amazon.com video review:
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
