Kill Shot

I suppose for the masses, there might be enough gullible people who can follow this story without constantly shaking their heads.

This is another case of someone putting together a film in order to fill the demands of streaming competition and not caring about quality or believability.

A service worker that can afford a guided elk hunting tour in Montana. The guide who doesn't truly know the rules for when a legal time to hunt is and was ice climbing just before opening day in October? The guide even mentions a caution about accidentally slipping into Canada during the hunt and shooting an illegal animal. From the mountains they were in, they would have to travel 100-200 miles by horse to get close, unless they were given permission to hunt the Blackfeet land. Never going to happen.

Then, there are the bad guys with small arms to fire. They walk through thinned out forests of ponderosa trees and think that they will have the upper hand on getting some small briefcase, one, that could possibly fit $100 million. Yes, I said 100.

This is a terrible movie at best. I give it 3 stars for some beautiful drone footage and a few cool rifles, that will surely bring more weird unwanted city people to ruin what Montana used to be like.

I wanted to like this movie so bad dammit. You can tell the quality of the film right away. Its so stiff. It's not filmed like the really good movies are. Acting is horrible. Fight scenes are not believable. Rachael Cook that plays Kate must have got the job by her looks because she's a terrible actress. She is constantly positioned certain ways throughout the movie to look sexy and she holds the pose like she's in a photography shoot. The guy Rip isn't as bad as an actor but could definitely use some lessons. Was this movie supposed to be this bad and I missed this? I feel like I lost 93 min of valuable time. Thumbs down. 👎

This is not one of those movies.

It's just bad.

But I still watched it, because apparently I'm a glutton for punishment. The dialog is absolutely absurd. The hand to hand combat is actually adorable it's so puffy.

And the gunfights??

As stated, these bad guys make Stormtroopers look like olympic marksmen.

The only reason I gave it three stars was because they deserve credit for understanding the main assignment.

Show Rachel Cook with as little clothes as possible, as often as possible.

Also, why didn't they take the motorcycles when they killed those two guys? I guess the movie would've been too short.

So many inconsistencies in the characters' behaviors since they're all just plot devices to get you to the (in the writer's mind) clever plot twist that was ssssssooooo telegraphed you would have had to have never seen a movie or read a book to miss. Guys are fully dressed in the snow but the woman has to take off her coat to reveal her bare arms covered in tattoos so we know she's a badass. It's cold put your coat on. Female lead running around without pants through a quarter of the movie just advertised the people making the movie didn't have any confidence in their writing or directing. Also, is anyone else getting tired of the heroes who can pop off multiple enemies with single on the fly shots in the first confrontation but then go from a one shot one kill scenario to thirty shots to one kill to keep the movie going?

I always wondered why it took two years to release this movie after they wrapped up production, and now I know why. They needed some time to help them forget how bad of a movie they made. The basics of filmmaking were ignored in making this movie. It would have been much better to market this film as comical action or campy, but when they feel they made a serious film, it's just delusional and sad. I would be embarrassed to put this out there.

Aside from the opening scene, the writing, acting, and actions sequences are all horrible and laughable. The editing and framing of these scenes are very awkward as well. The director tries to distract the viewer by having Rachel run around in underwear or a bra. She looks like a puppet and has limited acting range. Rib looks like a soap opera star looking to extend his career. His dream sequence with Rachel is cringy and sophomoric at best.

The action sequences are silly and sloppy, and the villains are laughably incompetent and allow themselves to be killed as if they never had any fighting or combat experience. I like how Rib was able to take out a sniper by spinning around with a handgun, ha ha. Rachel character was so dumb she couldn't undo the ratcheting strap holding her down when her wrists were held together with zip ties but her fingers and arms were free!

It's clear they casted Rachel to draw her social media followers to watch this movie. It will probably be the only people who watch this film. What I can't understand is why Rachel would sign on to more films with this silly production company.
