Personally I don't think this movie could be improved upon. It is so eerily REALISTIC. The acting is superlative by all -- Tim Roth ,James Russo,Deborah Unger fit to a T. Even the girl who plays Tim Roth's former g/friend is perfect. This is a movie to get lost in. Very intense portrayal of a young man going home after serving 8 years in prison .. for a crime he did not commit. Just talking about it makes me want to watch it again. My hat is off to the actors. What an accomplishment!

Tim Roth is an amazing actor It's hard to believe he is not the "Joey" from this film. This is a very sad film that shows the reality of life after prison and the brutal violence and fear that some people live in every day. Not for the faint hearted. All the actors do an excellent job but Tim Roth is simply outstanding ... as in all the films he has been in. I hope we see a lot more of him.

A movie need not have high-tech imagery, nor an explosion every 30 minutes to be a good movie. This movie proved this theory.

This movie showed that in life, some people can adapt and overcome the most horrific of life events, and others can't.

Gritty and realistic unknown independent piece about slow young man (brilliant Roth) just released from prison struggling to stay clean while living with his troublemaker older brother (Russo at his best) and his battered wife (Unger, in a tender performance). Buddy Giovinazzo's low-budget 'No Way Home' is a perfect example of a near flawless gem of a film with a superb cast that went hugely unnoticed during its release. Packed with raw emotion, masterful performances and a genuine Staten Island setting, I find it very unfortunate that movies like this are so rare to come by. I saw this once years ago on IFC Channel and been wanting to see it again ever since. Unfortunately its nearly impossible to find a version that'll play on standard American DVD players, so I was forced to watch the one I ordered on my PC (shipped from the UK). Do I care? Not really. 'No Way Home' was well worth it.

One of the most underrated movies ever. If you look at the top grossing movies of 1997 you will see such gems as "Face Off," "Flubber," "Liar, Liar,""George of the Jungle..." You get the picture. That these movies made hundreds of millions of dollars and this movie has slipped into obscurity to the point that you can't even find it is a crime.

Everyone in this movie does an excellent job of simply telling a story, and it's a really good story. Be careful about ordering this on DVD as the DVD's that were available when I bought it were all European and will not play on North American DVD players. I got the VHS for about $3.00. You won't regret it.

I won't give away the plot. You really need to see it in order to understand what I mean. If you are a Tim Roth fan, he doesn't disappoint. His acting is believable, just like the story he helps to tell, which is as old as time.

"Tough times don't last, tough people do."

An unbelievable performance by TIM ROTH.He is truly one of the twomost intensely outstanding actors of our time..the other is GARY OLDMAN(MESSIAH SUPREME)!
