I love this movie so much
Good concept, poorly executed.
Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
View MoreNot sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
View MoreReview: I wasn't a big fan of this movie because the storyline was all over the place and none of the characters were that interesting. There also wasn't much depth to the bunch of misfits, so you don't really care if they get brutally murdered by hit-man, Charlie Wolfe (Simon Pegg), who seemed a bit out of place in this film. It seemed like a small budget Australian movie, which must have looked good on paper but the directed failed to execute that well. The film is based in a small town called Eagles Nest in Western Australia, we're a wealthy motel proprietor, Jack Taylor (Callan Mulvey) believes his wife Alice Taylor (Alice Braga), is having an affair, so his sister Lucy Webb (Teresa Palmer) gives him the number for a hired hit-man, Charlie, to spy on her. While Charlie is following her, he records footage of her sleeping with her bit on the side, Dylan Smith (Luke Hemsworth), so Charlie gets the order from her husband, Jack, to kill her. From there the movie spirals out of control and it's full of outrages scenes involving large amounts of money, murder and corruption. The acting was pretty poor and I must admit, the plot was badly written. When you finally think that the movie is getting somewhere, people start to randomly get murdered and by the end of the film, it just seemed like a right mess. I personally wasn't expecting much from the film, so I wasn't that disappointed but I was surprised that Pegg took on the project after having such a busy schedule. Disappointing!Round-Up: This movie was directed by Kriv Stenders, who brought you the Illustrated Family Doctor, Blacktown, Dark Frontier and Red Dog. I personally haven't heard of any of his previous movies and I find his sense of humour quite warped and dark, judging by this movie. After a string of disappointing movies like Man Up, Absolutely Anything and A Fantastic Fear Of Everything, Simon Pegg, 46, is back as Scotty in Star Trek Beyond, which is due to be released later on this year, and he's supplying his voice as Buck in Ice Age: Collision Course. He has definitely had a roller-coaster of a career with big blockbusters like the Mission Impossible franchise and playing Unkar Plutt in Star Wars: The Force Awakens to small budget films like Run Fatboy Run and Big Nothing but he doesn't take himself that seriously and he is a true lover for film. I personally miss the old Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz type movies, which he wrote with Nick Frost but I think that Pegg has bigger fish to fry, as he is actually adding his writing skills to the new Star Trek project. Anyway, I didn't really like this movie that much but you do stick with it because you don't know what wacky direction the film is going to go in next.I recommend this movie to people who are into their action/comedy/thrillers starring Simon Pegg, Luke Hemsworth, Bryan Brown, Steve Le Marquand, and Teresa Palmer. 3/10
View MoreOkay, so I've always loved movies that featured Simon Pegg as I'm a fan; I just could not get into this movie at all. In reality I felt this movie was done better than a lot of the later film releases of 2014 and 2015 for it's cinematographic and actors; though the story seems just short and rushed. Kill Me Three Times just didn't have that "I want to enjoy a movie" feeling. Now don't get me wrong the film was pretty well put together, I believe that this is just one of those movies that it takes a sure style preference to enjoy.The action in the film was humorous and cute, the acting felt as if I was watching Hot Fuzz; and for once a lower budget movie had good audio mix. Not a bad movie, I'll certainly buy it because Simon Pegg is in it.
View MoreMercurial assassin Charlie Wolfe is recruited to get rid of a business owner's cheating girlfriend, but soon discovers he's not the only one targeting his prey. Get ready for three tales of mayhem filled with blackmail, murder and revenge. This relaxing, sun-filled beach town is about to get bloody.Kill Me Three Times by director Kriv Stenders killed me at least 90 times, which is the entirety of its run time. This must sound a little harsh for a movie that contains some unquestionably brilliant cinematography and pretty reputable actors, but you'll understand what I mean if you watch it. It does its best to stand out with its own style, but one can only hear the same repeated espionage music track a hand full of times before they start to cringe. Truthfully, whoever was hired as the Music Department Supervisor should be ashamed of approving the redundantly annoying soundtrack they used to support this quirky action thriller.On the bright side, this flick did sport a pretty interesting form of non-linear storytelling with the multiple points of view associated with its own title. The special effects department also pulled off some pretty beautifully disgusting bloody moments, the film's scenery was exquisite and Simon Pegg did bring a hint of fun to the mix. Unfortunately these stronger traits weren't enough to erase the sense of boredom I felt throughout the lackluster twists, streaks of flat jokes and tiresomely dramatic arches.You'll have to pardon this obvious and somewhat cliché pun, but what can I say except this movie completely misses its mark. Bam! I said it, ha-ha. If a fine mix of black comedy and violent gun blazing action is your thing, you're better off sticking to Edgar Wright's Hot Fuzz or Michael Davis' underrated Shoot 'Em Up.
View MoreToo many people are trying to critique "Kill Me Three Times", its not the Godfather or Scarface, just watch the movie and enjoy. I believe it was well put together and had some funny moments. A lot questionable situations occurred but nothing too far out of the realm of possibility I say. Enjoy the Murphy's's law of which is the film story line.I need ten lines of info, so I going to ramble on nothing in particular. The movie was good, people are trying to decipher the movie too much instead of just watching and enjoying. Have to say I loved Simon Pegg and his role he played. I also believe for the movie the cast was well put together.
