Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …Alain Delon is a great leading man, projecting real humanity in every role he plays, and the star elevates what would be a conventional hunt-and kill-mafia movie to some substantial heights… Rated: 3/5 Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Quentin Tarantino The New Beverly No Way Out doesn’t play like an Italian crime picture done in the style of J.P. Melville. It plays as if Jean-Pierre Melville came to Italy in ‘74 and made a violent Hit Man movie with his boy Delon. Rated: B+ Jun 30, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Tony Arzenta-one of Delon's best physical roles--in a fast--paced and melodramatic action film--Vengeance..Mafia Style!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent euro-crime. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Alain Delon plays a hitman and wears a trenchcoat (well for one scene) but that's about as close as it gets to Le Samourai. This is a violent revenge flick with plenty of car chases and bloody deaths. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent 70s Italian Mob vengeance film. More brutal and less romanticized than the American Mob films of the time. Some creative and fairly destructive car chases. Some unexpected turns. And Alain Delon playing cool with submerged passion as only Delon can. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Very rare and unknown flick, which is a shame because it is an extremely fun ride. Obviously has some cheesy elements from the timeframe, but it is easily forgotten...my first time ever seeing Alain Delon, and he is perfect in this role and really grabbed my attention to check more of his work out. Some fun car chases to top. Like a good number of my favorites in cinema, it isn't one to watch for groundbreaking intelligence, but it is a VERY fun flick. Sad that it is such a hidden gem. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review jack c Unexpectedly a very good movie, mostly through Delon. The guy is like the French equivalent of Charles Bronson: everything he touched from the period was bad-ass gold. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
