Reviews
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.
An underrated, well-directed action flick with a superb performance by Sidney Poitier.
