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.

It was late at night, I was bored, and am a Tim Roth fan, so I decided to watch it. I didn't expect much. Maybe that's why I enjoyed it so. It was very interesting. It presented you with questions about these characters and gave pieces of the puzzle slowly. It kept you engrossed, wanting more. It had various different sub-plots, all entertaining. It had this build up of a true great film and a truly great drama and character study with a uniqueness to it. However towards the end it falls into the standard, predictable plot points, transforming from a character piece and drama, to the cliche crime drama Tim Roth is most known for. That is truly a shame since, when given the chance, Roth can give great comedic and dramatic performances only if given the chance. While Roth made this film what it is, it featured good performances by Russo and Unger, those two should be watched in the future, they could easily go places.

An ex-con is released from the pen and returns home determined to go straight. He moves in with his brother and sister-in-law and learns of his brother's troubles with a local crime organization. The brother's problems excalate to the breaking point when the thugs demand more money than he has. This was a good show, however it had several flaws; namely the gunfire sounded like underpowered fireworks, and some of the kicks and punches were obviously not connecting. Extremely violent, with buckets of blood.

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.
