    • Trivia
      Alain Delon dubbed his own voice in both French and English language versions in the film.
    • Alternate versions
      The Japanese DVD omits a lesbian kiss at the night club and the beating of Carla Gavina, however a small fraction of the latter is present in the trailer.

    No Way Out AKA: Big Guns AKA: Tony Arzenta
    Hit man revenge film.

    A hit man wants out of the mob. The mob double crosses him. He gets some revenge by killing most of those involved.

    This film has some strong action scenes. Some good chases. Lots of shooting. It's all done rather well. The acting better than average across the board here.

    However, I was not a fan of the ending. I won't spoil it here. You'll either love it or hate it or ...not care either way. I didn't like it. A better ending, and this one could have been something special.
