Shoot to Kill

Shoot to Kill (1988) is an action thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Roger Spottiswoode. An FBI agent who knows how to work a city interrogation room and a wilderness tracker who has never heard of a warrant have to find the same murderer in the same mountains — without killing each other first.

Warren Stantin (Sidney Poitier) follows a killer's trail to the rugged backcountry of the Pacific Northwest. The suspect has embedded himself in a hiking group and is moving toward the Canadian border. Expert guide Jonathan Knox (Tom Berenger) knows the terrain cold, but his girlfriend Sarah (Kirstie Alley) is somewhere inside that group. Stantin needs Knox to find the killer; Knox needs Stantin to get Sarah out alive. The partnership is turbulent from the first hour, and it only gets worse as the terrain does.

Poitier had stepped away from acting for years before this film brought him back, and he plays Stantin with the kind of precise authority that makes the fish-out-of-water premise genuinely tense rather than comic. Stream Shoot to Kill (1988) online on iFILM.
