It marks Sidney Poitier's return to acting after 10 years behind the camera. He is probably not going to win any awards for this performance, but it's nice to have him back.

...an erratically-paced yet generally better-than-average old-school thriller.

It's good to have veteran and able actor Sidney Poitier back on the screen again, and his contribution to Shoot to Kill helps make this action-thriller set in the mountain wilds of the Northwest a slick and satisfying film.

Satisfactory but forgettable manhunt thriller.

A gripping manhunt thriller that's also part buddy movie and part outdoor, man-against-the-elements adventure. Might have been taken for granted in 1988, but Shoot to Kill is a corker by today's standards.

Mar 15, 2009Starts brilliantly but reveals the killer too soon leaving the tension to just evaporate away. Shame.Marcus W Super Reviewer

May 19, 2008PLOT: Warren Stantin, an FBI agent (Sidney Poitier), and tracker Jonathan Knox (Tom Berenger), are paired together to track a killer who has kidnapped Knox's girlfriend, played by Kirstie Alley. They must over come their personality differences in order to catch the elusive murderer. This was a great action/thriller 80's movie, with a little comedy here and there by Sidney Poitier. It was nice to see Berenger and Alley in their younger days.Amanda . Super Reviewer

Oct 03, 2007A truly unique 80s action thriller: in order to chase a killer and diamond thief, an FBI agent (Poitier) has to team up with an expert hiker (Berenger) whose girlfriend (Alley) leads a group of men through the mountains to the Canadian border, among them: the killer. The movie takes this idea and creates a breathless trip through beautiful scenery, adding lots of action, suspense and guessing which one of the hikers the killer actually is. Additionally, Poitier's performance adds so much humor to the excitement that you won't look at your watch once during the movie. Some minor plot holes at the connection points to the showdown back in civilization don't really ruin the overall perfect impression this movie leaves, especially the first time you see it. A little known gem of the genre. Not only for fans. They just don't make such action thrillers anymore!Jens S Super Reviewer
