Quartile rating: 6/10 · 1 rating
While on a seemingly routine job, a jaded hit man discovers that he's not the only one with his target in the crosshairs.
Kill Me Three Times is a dark comedy thriller with a reasonably entertaining multi-strand narrative of interweaving assassination plots, but it struggles to distinguish itself in a crowded field of Tarantino-esque crime capers. Simon Pegg is clearly having fun as the smirking hitman Charlie Wolfe, and the ensemble cast is serviceable, but no performance truly elevates the material. The Australian setting lends some visual charm but the cinematography is workmanlike rather than inventive. The multi-timeline structure feels derivative of better films in the genre, and the various twists and turns of the ending feel rushed and unsatisfying rather than cleverly resolved. Overall a mildly diverting but forgettable entry in the dark comedy thriller space.
