Alain Delon is a hit man looking to get out of the mob. The mob has other plans. Delon's family is obliterated & he seeks revenge, tracking mafia types throughout Europe. A fairly exciting crime thriller well directed by Duccio Tessari and featuring a great performance by Delon. It's the type of revenge thriller Charles Bronson was grinding out in the'70s, only this one has a lot more style. There are several outstanding chase scenes, some fairly brutal bursts of violence and a very unforgiving finale. The supporting cast includes Richard Conte, oily Umberto Orsini (he played a similarly sleazy role in VIOLENT CITY), Lino Troisi and Marc Porel. Carla Grava is terrific as a zonked out party girl and one of Delon's few allies. The music is by Gianni Ferrio, who composed scores for over 100 movies! NO WAY OUT (aka BIG GUNS) is a macaroni mafia masterpiece.
