No Way Out (DVD, 2000, Widescreen and Standard)

I recall watching this movie as a youth and realized I enjoyed it but could not really understand the reasons why. I have watched the movie again and again over the years and realized that it was a superbly directed action-suspense-drama-thriller and contained a nimbly assembled cast of incredible acting talent. Kevin Costner is at his best in this movie and in his later career I found that fame made him glide through the acting work but not in "No Way Out". Gene Hackman is brilliant as are the supporting cast. I was a fan of Sean Young's early work and regret she didn't make better future career choices because I found her to be engaging in this one. A must-have DVD purchase. Timeless and endlessly watchable.
