Movie Reviews of Shoot to Kill
Movie Review: Solid adventure thriller with a twist
Summary: 3 Stars
Kirstie Alley obviously never learns from her mistakes, because Shoot to Kill sees her held at gunpoint by a psycho in exactly the same part of the Vancouver Ice Rink as she was in Runaway. The film has lost some of its lustre with the passage of time and viewing on the small screen, but it's still an enjoyable enough adventure/thriller hybrid with a neat premise - city cop Sidney Poitier and outdoorsman Tom Berenger have to track a psychotic killer who has tagged onto a mountain fishing trip to sneak across the Candian border. Main problem: since he's managed to avoid showing his face and the unhappy campers ranks are filled with stalwarts of movie villainy, including Andy `Scorpio' Robinson from Dirty Harry and Clancy `The Kurgan' Brown from Highlander, neither they nor we know which one is the killer (although there is a pretty big giveaway). Nothing unexpected happens and the ending doesn't gain any points for credibility, but it's entertaining enough stuff with a good score from John Scott that adapts itself well to city and mountain milieus.
No extras at all, but the disc offers a decent 2.35:1 widescreen transfer.
Movie Review: Sidney saves the movie
Summary: 3 Stars
The charisma of Sidney Poitier is still as powerful as it was 30+ years ago. The scenery is breathtaking and well filmed.
Now for the rest of the film...it's ok. There really isn't any chemistry between Tom Berenger and Kirstie Alley. They are both great looking but that's about it. Clancy Brown is good, and Poitier and Berenger together have some fun scenes. I liked this film, but it just wasn't as good as it could have been given the acting talents and the beautiful Pacific Northwest background.
