Kill Me Three Times (2015)

A different way of telling a story

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

'Kill Me Three Times (2015)' actually starts to come together quite nicely in its third act, which is strangely given an eponymous label under the guise of being the flick's final 'story' - despite the picture having a single, and entirely insular, narrative that only varies from a 'standard structure' in the way that its second act takes place chronologically before the first. In this final movement, each disparate element barrels towards one another in a purposefully frustrating and fairly satisfying way. However, it's during this phase that the only real characters come into focus, revealing their true nature as either despicable and ultimately disposable or consistently undeveloped and bizarrely heralded (by the picture) as heroes. It's a shame that their true intentions or personality often prevent you from rooting for or even empathising with any of them, until they all start disappearing from the plot and you're left with the unsatisfying, standard 'good guys' to root for despite the fact they've been absent, and as brutal as the other players, for much of the run-time. 5/10

This movie takes some time to get going, but when it does it becomes rewarding as it progresses. The last 50% of the film was much better than the first 20%. This first part suffers from the fact that this movie's structure is done in three parts (Like Pulp Fiction). As an aside there is a copy of the scene where Butch Shoots Vince after an appliance suddenly does something. Anyway back to the movie...This movie lacks the usual first act introductory scenes that most mainstream movies possess. It just rolls right into the three stories one after the other. Without introducing the characters properly its annoying in that you don't know whats going on. Its as though the makers thought it would be cool to delete any intro and just stretch out the second act right to the beginning and then tack on an ending to tie things together. I vote this movie a 6. With a scene that explains things I'd give it a 7 at least. Its a fun comedy caper type film that doesn't take itself seriously. Nor should you. Well as long as you ignore the films glaring plot hole toward the end of the film.

I dished out cash on pay per view for this very mediocre product.The only real highlight is a smug and self-assured Simon Pegg, who does not mind having the camera on him and rewards the viewer with a memorable hit man incarnation.The love triangle story is badly copied from countless films that came before and did this better. It's full of clichés and lacks any colorful detail that might be conveniently provided by the nice backdrop, i.e. an incredibly beautiful Australian beach.The direction only adds to the misery. There are many lengthy and boring episodes where A is driving to B, B to C, back to A, etc. The stretches of highway used are average and so you're basically waiting for someone to drive to a destination for the action to continue, a LOT.Apart from Pegg, most of the actors are a bit like used cars. Not bad, but they have seen their prime and their acting is not making up for it.A missed chance.

This is a alright rental, it's not a really good rental but it's decent enough. It's not as terrible as some critics claim it to be. Sure it's not all that original for that twist and turn and every connects near the end type of movie. But it's decent enough for it to make it worth a watch. Despite me hating all of the characters in this movie. So the plot is about a hit-man named Charlie Wolfe played by Simon Pegg getting entangled or intentionally gets into a mess. Simon Pegg's role in this is basically tailing other characters, spying on them then snarling and chuckling in a creepy awkward manner every time he sees something bizarre. The director of this movie seems to have been really inspired by Pulp Fiction, but the whole thing just doesn't mesh together all that well. And the characters and dialogues is more annoying than interesting. But it was a watchable flick and despite it not having a immensely immersive story it was a okay effort. Lastly I thought it was cool how Sullivan Stapleton could play such a badass in "300: Rise of an Empire" and such a weak cowardly loser in this. Simon Pegg playing the lead role as a hit-man and Sullivan Stapleton playing the somewhat villain I thought this would be a good movie, but it's decent at best.6/10
