Review of No Way Back

No Way Back (1995)
6/10
Decent B-movie
11 February 2002
No great shakes, just a 90 minute time killer.

Has enough action to make you forget about the canyon-sized plot holes, and Crowe is convincing as always. He plays an FBI guy who botched up an assignment and is trying to make amends to the agency. He is also a widower and has a seven year old son.

Helen Slater is annoying in the thankless role of comic relief.

The themes of racism reminded me of 'Romper Stomper' which Crowe starred in. The beginning of the movie looks like its directly from that excellent movie shot before this.

As a fan I had to see it for Russell. If it were Bruce Willis I would have never bothered. Its only ninety minutes so no one really can get offended.
