No Way Out
Vancouver is North America's most active area of injection drug use. It also houses some of the poorest and most abused people in Canada. This film traces the lives of two middle aged couples over a five year period. They began using injection drugs such as heroin and cocaine since childhood and have remarkably survived all this time. Interspersed with Gabor Gasztonyi's black and white images of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside each person in the film tells their unique story of survival in an environment of physical and psychological adversity. No Way Out is a true glimpse into the lives, suffering, elation and tragedy of people who have lived their entire lives in a world of drugs. The film reveals an honesty of emotion and candidness rarely seen in documentary films which seek to portray the life of the addict.

It was worthy of the Oscar nomination
This is a good movie I really enjoyed it worth my five stars
This movie is absolutely one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life.
This is the first time I’m writing a review because i was so happy leaving the theater. The movie has it all. Great actors, a very, very, VERY great script and a awesome story.
Gabor Gasztonyi has made a great movie. Gorgeous scenery, great film!
A simple movie done really, really well.
Good movie. The action and effects are super.
good movie to watch on tv but I'm glad i didn't pay movie price.
Arguably this should not be a difficult film to review. It is nothing less than brilliant. The story, the direction, the musical score, the casting, the acting, the dialog. Brilliant!!! Just brilliant!
I can honestly say that this is probably the best, if not, one of the best films of the year Surely that's enough to convince you to watch it! MUST SEE!
