      Carlos T Minha opinião: Um filme com o saudoso Sidney Poitier do filme "Ao Mestre com Carinho" Neste filme policial que temos vários nomes famosos no elenco. Temos um serial killer que mata sua vitima na frente de Poitier e ele acaba se deparando novamente com ele. Onde o assassino esta tentando fugir para o Canadá no meio da floresta e se misturando em grupo e a líder e Alley. E para guia Poitier ele pede a ajuda de Berenger e assim eles vão atrás do grupo. Quando ele é descoberto acaba matando quase todo o grupo deixando apenas Alley, então o tempo de Poitier esta diminuindo. Até o momento que eles entram em confronto. Uma boa atuação dos atores e assistindo nos dias de hoje, não deixa nada a desejar. É um filme bem nostagial. Roteiro e enredo bem elaborados. Vale apena assistir? sim Nota: 7,5 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/23 Full Review Steve D Not good enough to justify Sidney Poitier 's presence. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/02/23 Full Review Audience Member The late Sidney Poitier, the late Kirstie Alley, and Tom Berenger Do you simply catch a killer or shoot to kill? A murderous diamond thief escapes with a cache of stolen jewels, grizzled FBI agent Warren Stantin gives chase to the brazen killer, trailing him to the remote Pacific Northwest Learning the fugitive has taken local tour guide Sarah as a hostage, Stantin recruits Sarah's boyfriend, Jonathan to lead him through the wilderness Now, Stantin and Jonathan must race against time to capture the thief before he reaches the Canadian border The beginning of this is very slow and it takes forever for the thief to show up again The plot shouldn’t take this long to kick off The main focus is more on these two men and it’s a shame the majority of the runtime isn’t entirely in the wilderness as the premise would suggest There’s no doubt though Poitier and Berenger make quite the pair being from two different turfs I actually love the chase scene at the end the best maybe because that should’ve been the whole movie This overall is erratically paced but satisfying if a forgettable action chase thriller Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Just a great ol fashion action/mystery flick, with some really great scenic shots! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review delysid d this movie was more of a dream-like adventure than a regular criminal film. it was hilarious how much shit they did in so little time. sidney poiter was great as an aging black super-cop Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/22 Full Review Audience Member The title of this movie is much more well known as "SHOOT TO KILL." And another Sidney Poitier Gem! Just see it! RIP Mr. Tibbs! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: 4/5 Nov 12, 2004 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 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. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) he fractured film reiterates Spottiswoods as a skilled director. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 28, 2022 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...an erratically-paced yet generally better-than-average old-school thriller. Rated: 3/4 May 5, 2019 Full Review Cathy Burke United Press International 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. Oct 10, 2016 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Satisfactory but forgettable manhunt thriller. Rated: B- Apr 25, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
