No Way Out borrows the template for socially conscious filmmaking from both Gentlemen's Agreement and Crossfire: it's half noir, half sermon.
March 9, 2006 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… -
I could not write any further in this review without citing the splendid and breath-taking dramatic work of Sidney Poitier.
October 30, 2019 | Full Review… -
The violence of its climax is a bit too wild-eyed to sustain full belief in its sober message, but in other respects this is one of the best (and certainly the most plainspoken) of the films...

What begins in the confines of a hospital soon spills out into the town.

Director Joseph L Mankiewicz (who also co-wrote) carefully reveals the way that racism is rooted in unfamiliarity.

Audience Reviews for No Way Out

Dec 08, 2020Ground breaking film for its time as it bravely details the challenges a black man has to overcome even when he's accomplished much. The great irony of the movie is that despite the good intentions of the filmmakers, the studio still underpaid the movie's black performers and even bypassed putting the names of several African-American performers like the great Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee.Aldo G Super Reviewer

Mar 31, 2020A hard film to even open up: race relations, Hollywood-style, from the 1950s - I'll take a pass, scheduling my sermons on Sunday as needed. But this rises above the usual patronizing/sermonizing thanks in part to an intelligent in-your-face script, easy-on-the-tiller directing, and simply an off-the-charts job by the leading cast, of whom nobody collects an easy paycheck. It took me awhile to get to this one, over a year, and I was entirely wrong to do so. Superb work all around.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Sep 05, 2010A really good movie, it's both a serious drama focused on racism and the medical profession, and an exciting thriller with criminals. Poitier and Widmark give great performances.Aj V Super Reviewer

Feb 04, 2009Richard Widmark is a "Negro-Hater" who blames Sidney Poitier for his brother's death. Intense but stylized social commentary featuring a rather nice performance by Miss Linda Darnell.Randy T Super Reviewer
