A brilliant film that helped define a genre

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I have to admit i am a fan of James Belushi in his Comedic film roles, but he does a decent job in this thriller as top homicide detective Harry Woltz.Due to spiraling gambling debts he is forced into training a husband(Jason Bateman) who is treated badly by his rich wife, on how to commit the perfect murder without leaving any clues behind.Their are a good few plot twists to keep you interested to the end of the movie, but most are predictable to us as we have seen them in many other similar movies.Overall i would give the movie 6/10

"One Way Out" failed to separate itself from the crowd. There was nothing particularly brilliant or unique about this film. If it weren't for the names Belushi and Bateman I think this film would have zero credibility. There was a murder, the story went as it should, there was a twist, then there was justice. The acting wasn't much to rave about nor was the story itself. The movie kind of lulled along as you waited to see where the writer would try to show why his film made it to screen. There was never any intense drama, no strong relationships, and no believability. Every character seemed empty, and without any action or good dialogue, the movie just sputtered along until it ended. Because I didn't turn the movie off before it ended I didn't grade it a 4 or less.

Well, this is indeed as good as perfect murder, but this one is a little different; this has a purpose - the hero must be the man that does his job and protecting his fellow colleague, whom he likes very much. As much as he liked her, he would hate to see her die out of the wrong reasons... so, despite his will to participate in the cruel role set up just for him, he does it and almost gets away with it, but in the end... well the end is not so surprising, but is still good. A very romantic notion, but I'm afraid it's too much for a real life... Truly worths a watch and the pleasure is maximized by the DVD version. The DVD gets more into effect detail that is necessary to get you in the mood!

After viewing this I was really surprised how much I enjoyed it. If you loved A Perfect Murder you will love this. It was just full of suspense and intrigue, although a little predictible at the end. James Belushi played his role well as the corrupt cop and Jason Bateman also gives a good performance. I just loved the way they set out to kill the wife and how it all panned out in the end.
