First Kill appears to be a straight to video drama thriller starring Hayden Christensen and Bruce Willis. The film isn't quite good as it is quite bland, with typical acting and nothing in which truly stands out. Some thrills here and there but overall nothing in which hwe have not seen before. A lot of camera zooming in with its close ups which was noticeable. The plot is okay but things become unrealistic. First off, Hayden and his son witness a near murder, then decide to bring in the victim into their home o take care of him and help his wife to heal him, and once it occurs, the victim suddenly becomes rogue and targets them, eventually hostage the son.This is another film where Bruce Willis is quite sleep walking through the film which was also noticeable, as his acting wasn't much up to par. The trailer originally saw when this film came out made it quite intriguing but of course trailers tend to do that. Overall, First Kill is only a quite decent thriller but doesn't offer anything new. As it shows how far both star actors Hayden Christensen and Bruce Willis have fallen off.

Good movie. Bruce Willis wasn't to great at acting in it though and felt some scenes were sloppy. Felt the bond between the father and son was a little fake. Other than that it was an enjoyable movie and would watch it again

A decent movie, but I'm not too picky. The strange thing to me is the reviews, so many people hating on it giving it 1 star for some political reason. First we have people on the left whining that it is "Pro gun" and "pro hunting". Like that is some kind of bad word when talking about a movie based in a country where 1 in 3 people own a gun, and 2 out of 3 support the right to do so at some level. Getting triggered over a dad teaching his son to use a 100 year old bolt-action rifle is a bit silly. The dad didn't force the kid to do anything, he was trying to bond with him and give the kid some confidence by going back to the roots of what humans did to survive since the dawn of man. I like guns but won't hunt, but I sure don't look down on those who do. My dad took me deer hunting when I was a kid. He didn't make me shoot one, but I did. I learned something about myself that day, and am glad to have had the experience. I'll let others kill my meat from now on, however. That's just me. People judge others for the strangest things these days, from both sides of the spectrum. The dad had a somewhat weak, but better-than-nothing safety talk with his son about the 100 year old bolt action rifle. Apparently that is soooo horrible to some people. I guess you shouldn't teach a kid that a knife is sharp, either? Let's cover them in bubble wrap and send them to their "safe space". Then we have someone from the right whining that it is "anti gun" and "anti cop". Well, not really. There are bad cops out there. Sure, the vast majority are good. But, it's just a movie. They took the time to show the dad give a C minus level gun talk to his kid. I think if it was anti-gun, they would have skipped that and had the kid have some kind of accident with the gun, then have the mom give a rant about how she hates guns. Another complaint from the right: The robber had a bit of a sad story that made you relate to him on SOME kind of level, that doesn't mean the movie is trying to make you feel sorry for criminals. But it's true they aren't all totally evil. Being able to relate on a small level doesn't mean you think they shouldn't pay for whatever crime. It helps to understand the motive behind crime so they can be addressed and prevented as much as possible. If you dehumanize all criminals, you can't fix the problems that help create them. Unless a movie is totally in your face politically I just don't get too excited. This movie definitely wasn't trying to send some kind of political message about guns, cops, or any of that.

Awful. Another Bruce-bait movie. He delivers an incredibly flat performance. All the cast do. The script is stupid (i mean, its like the script for a cartoon), and the pace is slow and weird.Looks like they spent all the budget in Willis, because the cameraman doesn't seem to hold the camera in its place, or the camera is put on a spring to the floor. Action scenes don't look fast, they look epileptic.The one good thing i could save from the movie, was the advice Levi gives the kid. And that's it. The rest, is just awful. If you are going to pay to watch this movie... DON'T. If you value your time, go watch another movie, or play a game.. or sleep. Almost anything is better than this.
