“First Round Down” (*1/2 out of four) was a first movie to avoid about a former hockey star turned pizza deliverer and hitman (Dylan Bruce) who returns to his hometown to care for his younger brother but comic foils from his past come back to haunt him. Potentially funny story of a former hockey player turning into a down-on-his-luck assassin is undone by dumb writing and slapdash plotting. Yet another Coen Bros/Tarantino wannabe that comes up short and fires blanks.
