Directed by Ari Novak (Cowboys vs. Dinosaurs, PawParazzi, Assassin's Vow), who co-wrote the script with Rib Hillis (Extreme Makeover: Home Edition; he also appears in this movie as Jackson Hardison), Kill Shot starts with a suitcase full of cash being stolen by Dina Diablo (Mara Ohara) and Maximus (Bobby Maximus) before the plane carrying it crashes in the Canadian wilderness. Oh yeah - Novak is also in this movie as Alpha ONE.
Kate (Rachel Cook) is just. Trying to scatter her dad's ashes and shoot an elk with her hunting guide Jackson, a former Navy SEAL. They find the briefcase - and the $100 million inside - and become the target of Diablo, Maximus and their henchmen.
This was filmed as Hunted back in 2020. Shot in Montana, it has plenty of great locations. What's really wild about it is for a movie shot today how much it objectifies its lead actress. Beyond scenes where she appears runway-ready despite being deluged in a river, she starts the credits topless with a gun and later runs through the woods in a torn-up flannel and black panties, which doesn't really seem like the tactical gear one needs to battle a crew of deadly mercenaries. I was stunned a few times, thinking that this had to be a parody and no, not at all, they really filmed this.
Other than that, Kill Shot offers guns ablaze in Big Sky country. I always worry that the action movie industry has gone away - and by that, I mean the direct-to-video one of my teenage years. As long as movies like Kill Shot keep getting made, I know that the guns and fist stories of my youth live on.
