BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Logan Dodd There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
ElijahCSkuggs Let me just get this outta the way. *ahem* This movie has two scenes where someone gets kicked in the nuts. Two! For someone like myself, that's reason enough to check it out. But if you wanna know what it's about and blah blah blah, I suppose keep reading.After spending some time in the cooler Joey is now released and is looking to get his life back on track. He ends up heading home, and reunites with his brother. Staying at his bro's until he finds steady work all seems fine, that is until he begins realizing the outside world is still as unforgiving and selfish as it was before.No Way Home was a good flick. It had a lowkey and unpredictable Tim Roth running the show with a decently solid supporting cast bringing up the rear. At first the movie tends to feel like it's trying too hard (overacting), but it hits a pretty serious groove and it begins becoming a very solid flick. Most probably due to the increase in sex, adult-themed conversations and gritty violence.With some surprising developments, some nice attention to realism, and a couple kicks in the groin, this should be a nice viewing for anyone who enjoys serious drama. Tim Roth being the lead doesn't hurt the flick much either.
litti It's Tim Roth, who steals the show in No Way Home. The film in itself is very good, and it manages to balance emotion and action very nicely. But it wouldn't be anything special without Roth. I believe he is in a role which he can act the best, an "awkward" guy. This is a film which deserves a DVD-release, and hopefully so will happen.
emm Those who are familiar with Buddy Giovinazzo will have known the film COMBAT SHOCK. This one, and his past effort, share a trusting relationship with each other, with this film's script being fairly identical to the Troma classic. Buddy G's idea for making movies appear to be concerned with a haunting look at modern society, and while it worked extremely well for COMBAT SHOCK, it does the same for NO WAY HOME. It's not the old film since this was made on a bigger budget and providing a different story, but it suffers from a serious lack of balancing. This begins as an ideal "brother" drama set in the slums, and later progresses into trashy proportions. You might be baffled over a couple of melodramatic moments that serve no honesty to this, and that is if you liked COMBAT SHOCK. NO WAY HOME isn't worth sitting through, but you'll be greatly rewarded with a slam-bang finish that can forever remain disturbing.
EmptyLeo This is a good story of a man trying to get back in to the real world after a few years in prison. Tim Roth and Deborah Unger are both good and it might have been a better movie if this revolved around their characters than Roth and James Russo, who play brothers. Russo takes this movie from a 7 out of 10 to a 6. He wasn't a very good bad guy.
