Leave your thoughts about First Kill.
| Detroit NewsAdam Graham"First Kill" is a clunker; its first and only casualty is the audience's common sense. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThe blood-soaked potboiler First Kill is Generous Pour through and through, from Bruce Willis playing a cop for the umpteenth time in his career to the old switcheroo we can see coming a mile away to the pounding and overwrought score to some genuinely effective detours and subplots. |
| EscribiendoCineEmiliano BasileSteven C. Miller makes a mistake again with Bruce Willis. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe movie, directed by Steven C. Miller, doesn’t hold a lot of surprises, but there is worse terror-in-the-woods fare out there — rather a lot of it, in fact. |
| Slant MagazineKeith WatsonLacking any vibrancy, wit, or formal rigor, First Kill is not only as bland and leaden as its über-generic title suggests, it's downright sloppy to boot. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeFrankly, if forced to bet between John McClane and Anakin Skywalker, I’d take the “Die Hard” tough guy every time, but that’s just the underdog factor Miller is going for, staging a reasonably entertaining series of off-road chases and backwoods shootouts en route to that final confrontation. |
| South China Morning PostRichard James HavisThe only interesting thing about First Kill is that Bruce Willis plays a bad cop. |
| Cine PremiereAmanda Adame... an insipid thriller... [Full review in Spanish] |
| ClarínPablo A. Scholz... does not escape the canons of the thriller... [Full review in Spanish] |
| Village VoiceCraig D. LindseyChristensen is impressive as a man who uses his wits and keeps cool. His straight-faced dedication is quite the contrast to the blatant disgust Willis reveals in his performance (and, really, for the whole movie). This actually makes First Kill a surprisingly fascinating study of two leading actors. |
