No Way Back is a poorly scripted, poorly acted, dud of an action film.
I figured any Russell Crowe film has to be okay at a minimum, but not this time. Everything around him was terrible and he wasn't by any means good either. Kelly Hu's fine in the beginning as Seiko, but they had her jump out the building why? Hell if I know. They obviously didn't watch the scene back and think yeah she's good, let's not kill her off in the first fifteen minutes. It was dull and evoked no feeling whatsoever after that point. Michael Lerner's the worst.
