First Kill offers a solid audio-visual presentation, but falls short on execution, making it a viable rental option for Bruce Willis fans.

First Kill's Blu-ray presentation from Lionsgate showcases clean and clear digital production with minor imperfections; resolution is commendable, especially in close-ups, though some scenes exhibit softer elements. Color grading varies from yellow-green tints to deep blues, reflecting its cooler palette.

Audio: 70

The DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack of 'First Kill' offers clean, articulated dialogue and dynamic sound effects, utilizing the entire soundstage for atmospheric presence and low frequency detail. However, its engagement of side and rear channels can be intermittently reliant on the musical score rather than environmental elements.

Extra: 50

The Blu-ray extras of 'First Kill' provide a decent package with a director's commentary, standard behind-the-scenes featurette, deleted scenes, extensive cast/crew interviews, and a trailer, however, the overall quality of content remains consistent with the film's underwhelming execution.

Movie: 33

’First Kill’ is a clichéd crime drama marked by Hayden Christensen's decent yet struggling performance, Bruce Willis's unenthusiastic portrayal, and a predictable plot. Despite some well-shot action scenes and minor subplots, poor dialogue, weak character arcs, and unimpressive twist hinder its enjoyment.
