Beyond the Reach (15)

Dir: Jean-Baptiste Léonetti | USA | 2015 | 91 mins Cast | Michael Douglas, Jeremy Irvine
While out hunting in the Mojave Desert, Madec (Douglas), a corporate shark in the process of closing down a multimillion-dollar deal, shoots a man accidentally. Ben ( Irvine), Madec’s hunting guide, insists that they return the corpse to town as soon as possible. However, his client has another idea: Shoot the dead man-this time with Ben’s rifle-to make the death look like a murder. After all, one cannot shoot a man twice accidentally. Although offered a great life in exchange for his silence, Ben opts to do the right thing-which gets him in very big trouble with the man who has everything except a conscience.
