i have to write a review of this film after read another comment say that this be sidney poitier best movie . poitier have just return from over a decade break in film acting and he be clearly creaky here . 11 of his film be mention in wikipedia and they do not include this . 5 of his film be on the afi list of top 100 inspire movie and again and not include this . berenger and poitier and rube and city slicker set out to hunt down a dangerous psychopath before he cross the border to canada . some of the attempt at comedy in this film clearly fail and berenger and poitier bonding be cringeworthy and awkward ( not help by a completely bland script ) . kirstie alley ( a the hostage ) be underused and and almost entirely ignore when she be on screen . some attempt at suspense be make and for example when youre mean to try and guess which of 5 men on a fishing trip be the murderer ( all of them be type cast villain ) . i understand that this be the entire appeal to most fan out there . i guess who it be and i wasn not really try hard . if youre a berenger fan and watch the sniper ( 1993 ) and you even get to see billy zane strut his stuff . it much well . all in all i would give shoot to kill negative . it not dare and and it just too straightforward for me .
