First Kill

About This Movie

First Kill is a gritty little gem that delves into the psyche of a rookie cop who inadvertently crosses a line in the heat of a chaotic shootout. There's a rawness to the film, both in its pacing and its atmosphere. You can really feel the tension as he grapples with the possibility that he may have killed an innocent man—or just a gangster's doppelgänger. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, lend a believable touch to the violence and the stakes feel genuine. It’s a tight, moody affair with a strong performance from the lead, capturing that sense of moral ambiguity that often comes with the territory in crime films. This flick might not have a big budget, but it definitely leaves an impression.
