Shoot to Kill aka Deadly Pursuit (1988)



Trailer

A man breaks into his own jewelry store and is arrested. The questioning reveals that his wife is held hostage by a man called Steve who demands the diamonds in the jewelry's safe in exchange for the woman's life. FBI agent Warren Stantin (Sidney "I can't be bothered with doing some real acting" Poitier) takes over the case and decides to hand over the diamonds as Steve already killed the jeweler's housekeeper. But he kills the hostage anyway and escapes into the night. Plagued with feelings of guilt, Stantin becomes obsessed with catching the killer who is hiding in the wilderness of the state of Washington. Since he's totally unfamiliar with this dangerous area, Stantin is joined by Jonathan Knox (Tom Berenger) who is only interested in saving his girlfriend Sarah (Kirstie Alley) who may become Steve's next victim.

A predictable adventure thriller with some nice views of Washington's wilderness, ridiculous police decisions and a Sidney Poitier who thinks showing his face in front of a camera is all it takes to be an actor.
