Kill Me Three Times

Good cast, good story and nice landscapes. There is plenty of humor involved in this film and I enjoyed references in typical characters which you encounter in these style of crime-hitman-comedy movies. I don't think this movie is trying to take itself serious and that is a good thing. The story overall is interesting but nothing new, except for a nice run of continuous twists. Don't get discouraged by the low ratings; this is a fun Aussie film with Simon Pegg delivering once again. 7/10

I do not know why this film has such low reviews. It is not a big budget film but it is well made and funny throughout (if you like dark humour). The casting is excellent and Simon Pegg puts in a deliberately understated performance as the only professional killer among a whole bunch of nasty individuals. I have watched this again and again, because I notice a new nuance every time I view. Watch and enjoy. There are decidedly humorous but cringe-worthy moments throughout the film and the "I'll be there in an hour" catchphrase of his hired-killer has added significance towards the end (not really a spoiler - watch what I mean!) Lovely performances from many great actors/actresses - Simon Pegg is excellent - Bryan Brown is just so unlikable. The plot twists are fantastic. Watch and enjoy!

This movie is for you if

• you enjoy a gripping story mixed with good acting, nice camera work and tight editing
• critical remarks like "isn't that a derivative of what we have already seen from Tarantino, Guy Ritchie et al" don't bother you

What starts as an intriguing sequence of events turns into an edge of the seat affair by the time you are into the 30th minute. A must watch for thriller buffs and if you are a Simon Pegg fan, that's one more reason why you should not miss it.

"What your talking about is a one way street. Once you start there is no going back." Charlie Wolfe (Pegg) is a professional hit man that has just been given a job to kill the wife of a client. What he thinks will be an easy job soon becomes harder when he realizes he isn't the only one trying to kill her. This movie had flashes, and reminded me a little of Pulp Fiction. The way the movie skipped around and you got more backstory with each successive scene, while the movie is moving forward at the same time. This is not the typical Simon Pegg role, but he was a good choice for this. The movie took a generic hit-man idea and really did something with it to make it feel new and exciting. This is nothing all that amazing, but it is a really fun movie to watch and a good way to spend an hour and a half without having to think too hard. Overall, exciting and entertaining. A fun rental that is worth seeing. I give this a B.

Like many other titles on IMDb i'm surprised by the low ratings and mixed reviews that this title received. I believe that watching a movie doesn't require me to be a professional critic or reviewer so i don't need to start nitpicking every little detail or the composition in it's entirety. That usually happens after a second or third viewing or at a much later time.

With that being said, i find that this movie, like many others, deserves a chance to win you over. It might not be perfect, but what movie out there is? (Especially when you're looking for goofs and mistakes in every scene)

It's got a good mix of humor and action all narrated in an interestingly cut up way where not all facets of a sequence are revealed at once. The acting, soundtrack and location choices were also rather good and they fit well in this small world they created in the movie.

I for one had a good time watching it and if you do decided to give it a try i hope that you also do.
