Will (Hayden Christensen), a broker from Wall Street visits the town where he grew up. While there, by being in the wrong place, at the wrong time, he is forced to evade a police Chief Howell (Bruce Willis – Marauders<\/a>, Red 2<\/a>), who is investigating a robbery. Will must evade the authorities and recover a bag of stolen money, which he must now use to exchange for his son’s life.<\/p>\n First Kill is a pretty average crime story, with a bit of action. The plot twists are predictable. The story is shallow, and characters flip between good guy and bad guy every few minutes. However, one does not feel a sense of support either way.<\/p>\n The action unfolds, and things happen, however that is pretty much all. As a film to watch when you have nothing else to do, First Kill is fine. If you’re looking for anything more than a way to pass the time, such as something engaging or intellectual, seek those elsewhere.<\/p>\n Better left for when the film appears on television, First Kill is average, in every way possible. It’s not bad, but, that is about all is has going for it.<\/p>\n Overall, First Kill is a decent disc technically, with an enjoyable, if run-of-the-mill main feature.<\/p>\n First Kill is available now, to purchase on disc, in South Africa.<\/p>\n Video is encoded at a high average bitrate, with no visible artefacts on screen.\u00a0 There is no visible colour bleed, and detail in darker scenes is good. Colours are vibrant, as needed.<\/p>\n Viewers with the relevant hardware or software could scale up to a larger or higher resolution screen, should they wish.<\/p>\n Video for the various menus, being static, does not have any visible artefacts, and has a decent level of detail, not looking sharpened.<\/p>\n Audio is encoded at a high average bitrate. Dialogue is clear via the centre speaker, with the weight of the soundtrack carried by the front channels. There is a fair use of the surround channels, serving to expand the on-screen world, add environmental sounds, and to further draw the viewer into the action.<\/p>\n Navigation is simple, and easy to follow. The main menu is a static menu, with accompanying music. There are text links to play the main feature, chapters, and audio.<\/p>\n The chapters sub-menus each contain four medium sized colour, motion thumbnails, for a total of twelve chapters.<\/p>\n The audio sub-menu has two text links for surround 5.1 and stereo 2.0, allowing you to choose soundtrack.<\/p>\n There are no bonus features, except for trailers for Kidnap<\/em>, Wonder Wheel<\/em> which autoplay at the beginning of the disc.<\/p>\n While these can be individually fast-forward, or skipped, they can not be accessed again via the disc menu system.<\/p>\n Packaging for the disc is pretty standard, with a poster showing the two leads, on the front, as well as the films title.<\/p>\n The rear has a synopsis, some images from the film, and the usual technical detail.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Film Will (Hayden Christensen), a broker from Wall Street visits the town where he grew up.
