"First Kill" is a clunker; its first and only casualty is the audience's common sense. Go to Full Review Peter Debruge Variety 07/22/2017
Bruce Willis goes bad in a movie that could hardly be mistaken for good, playing a corrupt police chief mixed up in a bank robbery. Go to Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times 07/21/2017

The set-up promises a lean slice of genre filmmaking. Unfortunately, the plot is overstretched and overwrought, with director Steven C Miller taking time out from the action to hit us in the face with symbolism and irony. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 09/07/2020

Joshua m @Flameon 01/27/2025 Even among Bruce Willis' direct to videos, this is one of the worst. See more Steve D @RT35616104 11/02/2023 Predictable film cashing in on Bruce's name. See more Roger L @RT90419061 10/04/2023 It's hard to believe in anything in this story. On top of that there is poor acting by all participants. I think that the best actor in this movie is the the deer that almost was shot in the beginning. See more andrea c @Charst 12/05/2022 Il ritorno al cinema di Hayden Christensen dopo anni di anonimato si palesa con un film di azione che sembra vecchio di 20 anni in ogni suo aspetto. La trama è inverosimile, piena di elementi poco credibili e raffazzonati con delle coincidenze a dir poco comiche. Bruce Willis in una parte da villain che interpreta in maniera mono espressiva per staccare l'assegno. La sequenza finale riassume tutti i difetti nel film con una situazione vista migliaia di volte ed ogni volta sempre più artificiale. See more 06/14/2022 First episode was almost interesting but they imediately dropped the queality of show with pointless wasting of time and not moving forward with any plot and awfull writing and acting. See more 06/12/2022 The movie was ok. Liked Bruce Willis's acting. See more Read all reviews
