But ultimately Farrell's plan begins unravelling when Pritchard finds an address book of Susan's with Nina Beka's name in it. When Pritchard and Farrell roust Nina for information about Susan's "men", she pretends not to recognized Farrell but Pritchard learns she has heard the name "Brice". Thus Pritchard sends two former CIA assassins to eliminate her. Overhearing this, Farrell races from the building and engages the assassins while warning Nina, who gets safely into hiding.
This activity raises Pritchard's suspicions of Farrell's loyalty to Brice and himself, as well as his motives for attempting to disrupt his coverup plan.

Farrell convinces Hesselman to delay the enhancement work on the photograph by confiding to him that he and Susan were in love and it will be him who is seen if the photo is cleared up. They cross paths with Farrell in the Pentagon corridors and recognize him at a distance. The CID begins a search of the Pentagon on grounds that "Yuri" is somewhere in the building, using the witnesses to identify him. Farrell eludes the search and tells Hesselman that Brice had slept with and killed Susan. Thinking that Farrell is delusional, Hesselman tells Pritchard about Farrell's relationship with Susan and his belief that Brice murdered her.
Pritchard thanks Hesselman - and then executes him. Still trying to avoid the CID search, Farrell returns to Hesselman's office, where the printout of the State Department's registry has linked the jewel case with Brice. He confronts Brice with this evidence and threatens to go to the police if the search for him is not called off. After Donovan reports that Hesselman has been murdered by "Yuri", Pritchard tells Brice that Farrell was Susan's lover, then adds that if the man in the photo is "Yuri" then Farrell must be "Yuri", and Brice will still be in the clear as he Pritchard will claim that Brice was at his home the night Susan was killed.
Knowing that Farrell has the printout, Brice improvises a different story: Pritchard, who is homosexual , killed Susan because he was jealous of Brice's relationship with her. The devastated Pritchard commits suicide and, when guards break in, is accused of having been "Yuri", concluding the search for the spy and murderer. Farrell quietly sends the printout by courier to the Director of the CIA , an enemy of Brice, then leaves the Pentagon, as the finished image enhancement of the photograph positively reveals Farrell as Susan's lover. Later, Farrell is picked up by two men while sitting despondently at Susan's grave; they are the ones who were interrogating him at the film's beginning.
The flashback thus ends, and it is revealed that Farrell actually is the storied and long-sought "Yuri", the KGB's mole in the Department of Defense, and that the two interrogators are KGB agents. Aware of Brice's affair, the Kremlin had ordered Farrell to seduce his mistress and gather intelligence from her. Implying that he should have blackmailed Brice instead of exposing him, Farrell's interrogators angrily berate him, saying the situation was "poorly handled".
Farrell's handler appears from behind a one-way mirror, is revealed to be Farrell's quirky artist-landlord, and tells "Yuri" that America is no longer safe for him, and that it is time for him to return to the Soviet Union. Revealing that he genuinely loved Susan, Farrell refuses and tells his handlers that he is finished being a KGB mole. Use the HTML below. You must be a registered user to use the IMDb rating plugin.

Is it a crime of passion, or an act of treason? Edit Details Official Sites: Edit Did You Know? Goofs There are many, many sailboat rental places in the Chesapeake Bay area. While the film's behind-the-scenes look into the world of Washington bureaucracy is appealing, the movie is a complete letdown as a thriller, dissolving into implausible silliness.
No Way Out () - Rotten Tomatoes
No Way Out emerges, paradoxically, as a film that is better than it has to be and not as good as it ought to be, but there is skill here, as well as an admirable willingness to try something new. No Way Out's greatest prize is Costner, a leading man at last: A thriller that grabs you even before the ironies of its plot kick in is a thriller you don't want to miss. No Way Out is that sort of movie, a thriller that's thrilling throughout.
A juicy thriller-romance bursting out of the Pentagon's arid corridors. Viewers who arrive at the movie five minutes late and leave five minutes early will avoid the setup and payoff for the preposterous twist that spoils this lively, intelligent remake of 's The Big Clock. No Way Out may take about half its runtime to finally get the story moving, but when it does, the audience is treated to a grand thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
The action is tight and suspenseful, and the plot culminates in the most astounding last-minute switch of the decade. As befits the title, it dead-ends long before it's over. Good performances from a strong cast and paranoid plotting enough to keep even the staunchest of remake nay-sayers quiet. Hitchockian production with a modern twist. An implausible thriller that requires suspension of belief quite often but is saved by the charm of its leading cast.

Will Patton in particular works overtime to sell his part, Hackman it needn't be repeated is always solid, while Young and Costner find a way to exemplify young lust. This was not as good as I hoped, but better than I thought it would be.
The twist at the end is worth one star all on its own. This is one of those movies that keeps getting better is it goes along and it, most definitely, ends on a high note. If I had a problem with the film is that, until Susan's death, the romance between her and Tom was a little corny. The acting is strong all around, but I didn't find these parts particularly intriguing.
Not bad, but not memorable either. When Susan is murdered, that's when the movie kicks into high gear. I found the mystery surrounding the investigation, even though everything, up until the twist, seems pretty cut and dried as to the events that happened. You get to see this story of this man, Will Patton, who's so loyal to David Brice that he's willing to do anything, and I do mean anything, to make sure that Brice is not implicated in the murder by using this cover story of a KGB agent that's infiltrated the Department of Defense.
Since Will Patton's character is such a manipulator, and the brains, of the entire investigation, you never for a second doubt Tom's innocence. Which is where the twist comes in. I'm assuming anyone who reads this will be able to put two and two together, but I'm still not gonna spoil it as it would ruin most of the fun of the movie. The thing about the twist is that it's actually really very logical and fits in with the theme of the movie perfectly. The problem with most twists nowadays is that a lot of them are just done because it's shocking and not because it actually makes sense within the story you're telling.
It's tremendous when you think about it because you really think that the twist itself is a red herring and something meant to throw you off what is actually happening. The twist in this movie is genius to be honest, it's surprising but completely logical within the story they're telling.
And the movie is just really exciting and fun to watch once Susan dies. I must make mention of Will Patton, who is absolutely tremendous as the main villain. He's such a perfect prick, a man who will do anything to keep his position of power. He's also a highlight in the film. So all in all, this is a really entertaining thriller with a great twist. Great acting from all involved too, so I can't complain that much other than the really corny romance.
Costner vehicle saved from total mediocrity by, yet again, Gene Hackman he should've belonged to International Rescue the number of dreary Hollywood thrillers he's salvaged Decent twist at the end, too. Tense and racy thriller in Pentagon. Sean Young's hotter in naked when she asked her close friend to borrow her apartment for a night.
