The users on this site are really quite mean-spirited in their comments about this engaging film.
"Kill Shot" is well worth a watch for the work of an actor and writer named Rib Hillis. He evokes both the swagger and the vulnerability in his character of Jackson Hardison, an ex SEAL who is now serving as a hiking guide in an unspecified area of the Rockies,
Jackson takes on a client named Kate, who claims that she wants to hunt elk and to deposit the ashes of her late father. The actress playing Kate is Rachel Cook, who looks terrific both in and out of the military fatigues she is occasionally wearing.
Jackson and Kate come across a large stash of cash during their hiking. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted when they are pursued by the vicious drug dealers seeking to recover the money.
There was some spectacular footage of the uninhabited mountains and some tongue-and-cheek humor built into the screenplay. It was never quite clear who were the villains of the film, a renegade group apparently from Russia who were running drugs from Afghanistan to the United States. Still, there was a lively twist at the end and snappy dialogue throughout this well-produced and under-appreciated film.
