First Kill Reviews

I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but since it was starring Bruce Willis, I thought I might as well check it out anyway. Obviously, it was another direct-to-VOD job for Willis but, to be honest, in this genre, it wasn’t the worst one I have seen so far. As usual, even though he was displayed prominently on all the promotional material, he actually didn’t play the main character but, at least, his character was more substantial than what he usually gets to do in such movies. Still, his performance was pretty weak though. On top of that, the damned thing was just so ugly with these typical green/yellow/blue filters but it’s unfortunately fairly common with these cheap action flicks (it’s hardly surprising that it took only 14 days to shoot the damned thing). And yet, even if this movie was weak, there were a couple of things that actually worked. Above all, the relationship between Danny and Levi was actually not bad. Indeed, it was actually neat how they were bonding over video-games and how Levi was candid about his line of work. Sure, you could argue that it was inappropriate but I thought it was an interesting approach. In fact, this connection between these 2 characters was more interesting than the relationship between Danny and his father. I mean, no offense towards Hayden Christensen, I don’t think he was so bad, it’s just that his character was not really interesting. Of course, the fact that the guy made the decision to take his kid on a hunting trip in order to get over some bullies probably didn’t help. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was slightly better than the recent action flicks starring Bruce Willis, it was still rather weak though and you should probably avoid it.
