BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
uscmd OK right off the bat we are not talking big budget best movie of the year stuff. But for slow TV night, or if there's nothing at the video store....I think you'll find this entertaining, although a bit transparent.How this for a storyline? "A militia rebel group resurfaces with a vengeance to assassinate the President for the death of their brothers. Agent McGregor, now the head of the Secret Service tries to prevent attacks on the President's life, but when the President is shot and her husband Grant is kidnapped the stakes are raised and Alex realizes that she has now become a target as well." We've all been there, done that. So no big plus for original story line or big budget cast.Give it a chance, better than much of whats on TV.
disdressed12 this third movie in the series,basically ignores the second movie,First Target.it the least enjoyable in the series for me.it' just a bit to slow.there isn't really much action and there are way too many gaps where not a lot happens.however,Mariel Hemingway is great,as she was in the original movie,First Daughter.she brings some credibility to her role as Secret Service agent Alex McGregor.if it weren't for her,the movie would be less watchable.it's still not a bad movie,it just doesn't compare to First Daughter.it's more in line with First Target(the second movie in the series)which starred Darryl Hannah in the role of Alex McGregor.for me,First Shot is a 6/10
thespark215 This is a totally enjoyable movie. I love the series. It's great. I am not a big "Action Movie" Freak, so when I saw the first movie, I thought yeah another action no plot movie, but I was wrong!!!! It was really good! This is a great set of movies. I totally recommend Then!
Streetwolf Summary:Alex and Grant are now married, but they still haven't been on their honeymoon since Alex can't find the time. The President Jonathan Hayes has a girlfriend, Cathy, who is having a hard time adjusting to the spotlight, whilst Jess is getting ready to have a great birthday party.Meanwhile in Oregon a militia group blow up an army base killing several, which gets the President's attention, who then decides to go there and make a speech, not knowing that he is the original target, but why is there another shot after the President is down? With Grant's help Alex discovers that the President wasn't the only target.The movie starts off with a flashback from "First Daughter" where the militia group gets caught and for a moment I thought i was actually watching that all over again, but no, this was the beginning of First Shot, Alex(Mariel Hemingway is blonde in this one) and Grant (Doug Savant has a full beard this time) are married and we weren't invited to see the wedding ceremony. Agent Courtney Robinson is trying to prove that the new guy agent Owen Taylor (Sebastian Spence looks great in this role) is not gay so she may stand a chance with him, but her partner Doug says otherwise and that's all the fun in the movie there is. The President gets a girlfriend causing problems with how his teenage daughter Jess (She's Libby the mean girl from "Sabrina the teen witch") has to adjust to that and oh yes then the President gets shot.(Gregory Harrison looks great. Huge margin though, in For Ladies Only we get to see him in almost nothing, in this we get to see his belly and that's it. Joking, he does a great job as his recurring role as the President)I'd give it a 7/10.
