Audience Reviews for First Kill

  • Nov 07, 2019
    A mediocre thriller, First Kill has a bit of intrigue but not much of a story. When Will Beeman takes his son on a hunting trip they accidentally witness a falling out between two bank robbers, one of whom then kidnaps Will's son in order to force him to retrieve the stolen money for him. Hayden Christensen and Bruce Willis lead the cast and give solid performances. However the plot is pretty formulaic and uses a lot of standard clichés; dirty cops, a criminal with a heart of gold, etc. And the directing is rather perfunctory, and does nothing to heighten the dramatic tension or action sequences. First Kill is a stereotypical abduction film that's by-the-numbers.
