SnoopyStyle It's the coastal community of Eagles Nest, Australia. Alice Taylor (Alice Braga) fears for her life from her husband Jack Taylor (Callan Mulvey). She's having an affair with Dylan Smith (Luke Hemsworth). Jack hires Charlie Wolfe (Simon Pegg) to spy on her and then for him to kill her. The movie starts with Charlie killing a man. Meanwhile, corrupt policeman Bruce Jones (Bryan Brown) is demanding payment for gambling debts from Nathan Webb (Sullivan Stapleton). Nathan is a dentist and his wife Lucy (Teresa Palmer) is his receptionist. They come up with a scheme to kill Alice, switch dental records with Lucy, and collect the insurance. Charlie photographs them kidnapping Alice and blackmails them. Bruce also blackmails Nathan for half of the insurance profit. Alice had taken a gun and $250k from her husband. It's a multi-layered crime story that is told one layer at a time.It's a complicated interconnected modern crime story that better directors have been doing. Those other movies have better dialog and cooler moves. Pegg playing against type is a little interesting. Unraveling the layers is somewhat compelling early on. However, the movie becomes less compelling as more is revealed. Despite all the mayhem, this isn't fun enough. This is not good enough.

eddie_baggins Once is never enough" – a tagline used to promote Kill Me Three Times and a tagline that couldn't be more far from the truth as one single watch of this dire Australian black comedy is most certainly enough.On the back of one of the most successful Australian films of all time, Red Dog, you'd think that long time director Kriv Strenders would've known a thing or two about making a competent and well-made feature length film but judging by Kill Me Three Times, the director certainly has a fair bit more to learn about what it takes to deliver when it comes to filmmaking treats.Kill Me Three Times is sad to say as a proud Australian, yet another telling example of why quite often local productions fail to resonate with either local or international audiences and while the locations of this West Australian set comedy/thriller certainly look nice and I'm sure the crew enjoyed their two weeks away in the sun and sand, Kill Me Three Times lacks any type of personality, heart or most tellingly for a comedy caper like this, wit. Too often Australian productions come off as amateurish and rushed and Stenders film is both of those things plus more with an abysmal scripting, unlikeable characters, plodding editing and one of the single most annoying scores ever committed to screen by Johnny Klimek (without exaggeration the score is almost too much to handle) and not even a name cast can save the film.Cast against type as a hit-man who likes to laugh (a lot) Simon Pegg is the single watchable acting presence in the entire production in which the likes of 300's Sullivan Stapleton, Warm Bodies' Teresa Palmer and local industry veteran Bryan Brown all meander about getting to chew on atrocious dialogue and get involved in increasingly unlikely circumstances. Perhaps they all signed on thinking this was going to be some type of Aussie flavoured Pulp Fiction but more likely they all saw the benefits of a nice paid holiday.With an insubstantial plot, a lack of any rhythm or rhyme and with a wasted cast, this nasty box office and critical flop is most defiantly not worth your time. A shame as there was potential here but in the end being killed once is more than enough as we're safe then, never having to watch this tripe again.1 why didn't I just watch Red Dog? out of 5

Marc d'Entremont Mercurial 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.

Jon Doe Too 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.
