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.

In this surprisingly good movie, Gabor Gasztonyi raise interesting questions, but use a different angle this time around.
If you are looking for a good movie to watch, I have to say it is well worth the viewing, not too predictable. Sit back and relax, you'll enjoy this gem.
Enjoyed it very much. Don't write it off because of the bad reviews. Give it 20-30 minutes and decide for yourself.
Great movie definitely a great buy.
This is the best looking version of the theatrical release. You also get the standard blu-ray with 3 different versions of the film. You can’t go wrong with this package in my opinion.
It's a great movie I give it 10 out of 10
We loved this documentary movie!
An absolute must see for everyone, and I'm positive that I’ll never see another movie better than this, and this will stay at #1 on my list forever.
My husband and I love this movie just as much as our kid.
This film is an the result of a genius mind. Gabor Gasztonyi is one of the greatest film makers in the world today.
I wasn't expecting such a detailed and intricate storyline, but it was a great surprise, great animation and good performances by all of the actors involved.
