Shoot to Kill [VHS]

I've loved this movie since first seeing it decades ago. I'm an outdoorsy person and love that the bulk of the movie takes place in the wilderness and follows the characters through harrowing outdoor scenes. The movie itself is engaging, well acted, and just an overall good movie.I don't know why, but I've never been able to get this through iTunes, Amazon Video, or any other digital medium, so I finally bit the bullet and bought the physical DVD. I'm so glad I did, it was a joy to watch this movie after so many years of trying to find it digitally.

Love this action film. Interestingly, it's the first film that Sidney Poitier did in ten years and he can still act. Take a city FBI agent and team him up with a mountain man in the woods of Washington State and there in is some of the story. Poitier's FBI character is after a jewel thief that killed a woman and is heading up to Canada. To get there he has to team up with the "mountain man" to get the man.Overall, a great action film with an original story in some beautiful scenery. Poitier is great as the agent "fish out of water". Audio and video are consistent on this film.

Who woulda thunk...Thomas Moore aka Berenger and Poitier would have been an action team...This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat from the start to the end. Poitier's sense of humor and Berenger's gruff demeanor make this movie positively delightful. I saw it when it first aired some years ago and at the time of the release, I thought that it would be a flop but it is outstanding and I have looked for it for some time before finally finding it again. I have have the movie about two weeks now and I have watched it 4 times...its that good

A fine cast of hard-working actors, beautiful scenery and a well-driven plot make this an excellent, lounge on the couch, pass the popcorn action film. There is plenty of dramatic among the characters and the adverse conditions they must overcome. Berenger and Alley are 2 reclusive wilderness guides, Poitier a very much city boy FBI agent in pursuit of a dangerous criminal who has replaced one of the clients on a wilderness fishing expedition led by Alley. Berenger is ready to go to rescue her, but Poitier insists that he must be there to make the arrest. Sniping back and forth is common, Berenger not impressed with Poitier's backwoods skills, Alley frightened but not cowed by her captor, and the criminal is all kinds of dastardly, ruthless and mean. The slow chase through the wilderness gives way to a closer, faster pursuit in a Canadian city, which Poitier proves his worth on his turf. Well-paced, with some thrilling close calls for all, this is a film that can be enjoyed more than once.

Guy steals some diamonds, murders jeweler's wife in the process, and escapes. Cop who feels guilty chases him where the killer kills some more. You go from "SF" to the rugged NW to Vancouver.This movie reminds me in more ways than one Narrow Margin. Cop chasing killer. You don't know who killer is. Startling killer unveiling. Tense. Thriller. Canada. Slow, natural pace. No special effects in the sense of super hero or buildings blowing up. People using their wits, even the killer to earn our respect in their "crafts" or "craftiness" depending upon how you look at it. Overall good movie, entertainment even with the over enunciating, semi-effeminate Sidney Poitier trying to pull of the cop role. Also since there was a black actor in the movie there had to be at least one racial line/stereotype. Whatever.

This is a terrific, now obscure, action movie. It has a great cast: a kind of “before they were famous” cast of actors: Kirstie Alley and Clancy Brown and others. The film was shot on location in Washington State and Vancouver, British Columbia. It’s visually pleasing funny times well written with a excellent ending. I only wish it would come out on blue ray. The product was as advertised and delivered promptly I highly recommend the seller.

The movie holds up pretty well after nearly 30 years. I especially liked the conceit of keeping the killer's identity a secret for half the movie, although when I saw this movie in the theaters I was able to guess who the villain was during the opening credits -- I figured there was no way that particular actor would be cast and NOT play the villain.Fun fact: this is the second movie in four years (the first being 1984's "Runaway") in which Kirstie Alley plays a character whose life is held in jeopardy at the Robson Square waterfall in Vancouver. That spot is bad luck for her.

Okay so as I get older I am very particular about what movies I am actually going to spend money on. This is based on watchability. How many times can I watch this movie. This is one of my favorites. I had been waitign to see if it will come out on blu ray but when I saw it on sale I had to have it. The characters are great, the action is thrilling, and Sidney and Tom are great together.

Great action with excellent cast of Tom Berenger, Sidney Poitier and Kirsty Alley, magnificent locations throughout the movie, attentions is held throughout this tense, action packed movie. They have to catch a callous murderous jewel thief before he kills anyone else, gripping throughout with (Berenger) the rough country expert and (Poitier) the tough city cop who rub up against each others beliefs. Brilliant watch and would recommend.

FBI agent played brilliantly by Sidney Poitier is on the trail of a cunning murderer who has vanished into a mountainous wilderness area. Being used to the city streets he is completely out of his depth and is forced to enlist the help of an expert tracker played by Tom Berenger. The two have to try to get along with each other in order to survive in the harsh environment.Meanwhile, a mountain guide played by Kirstie Alley is taking a group of people up the mountain and one of them is the murderer.she becomes the killer's latest hostage.An action packed thriller filled with suspense and well worth watching.

Excellent film, bit of a classic. Good story,script and acting. Very enjoyable. Definitely one to watch

That movie should be called Deadly Waiting. I waited too long for some action. Eventually it came but not convincing at all. It is addressed to an audience of another era.
