Kill Me Three Times Movie Review By MDBReviews

Kriv Stenders is not a producer whose name I knew before this, yet "Kill Me Three Times" recommends he has both a smooth feeling of style and an evil terrible comical inclination. The film stars Simon Pegg as a foul hitman named Charlie Wolfe, and it is a kind of sun-splashed round robin of awful individuals doing shocking things to each other to generally enchanting impact.

The script by James McFarland fractures the story into three overlapping chunks of time, doubling back on itself to illuminate why people are behaving certain ways, but it's actually a fairly simple story once it becomes untangled. Someone hires Charlie to kill someone else, and that someone may not be on the level. Charlie may not be on the level, either. Basically, it is a movie of double and triple crosses in which pretty much everyone deserves what they get, all set in the bright and beautiful sunshine of Australia.

On a late podcast, I heard somebody discussing Australia saying they wish they'd been cautioned that it is likely that the first kangaroo a visitor sees will be a dead one, hit by an auto, and beyond any doubt enough, "Kill Me Three Times" uses a roadkill kangaroo as a kind of totem, a visual lynchpin around which whatever remains of the film's insane comic disorder unfolds. Jack and Alice are a despondently hitched couple who co-own a bar and lodging, and Jack's sister Lucy (Teresa Palmer) and her spouse Nathan live in the same town, where they cooperate at Nathan's dentistry rehearse. Each of them four have mysteries and stewing feelings of disdain and things at long last bubble over when somebody summons Charlie to venture in and begin cleaning up what is certainly a wreck.

Having also just seen Pegg in his starring role in "Hector And The Search For Happiness," I love how gleefully slimy he makes Charlie in the film. I would happily watch a series of movies about Charlie dealing with other awful clients. He's just smart enough to feel like he's a few steps ahead of everyone all the time, but he's just greedy enough to screw his own plans up. Alice Braga plays Charlie's initial target, and her husband Jack is the movie's "villain" initially, but little by little, the film strips away our ideas about who these people are, and they're all revealed to be pretty worthy of whatever might happen. The film plays it all for dark laughs, and Pegg helps set a very particular tone with his work.

"Kill Me Three Times" doesn't at last have much to say in regards to individuals past that, and there is something well known about this kind of session of awfulness, yet the film is fun about it. It doesn't play things excessively terrible or dull or act like this is about something more profound. It's a diversion, and an all around played one. Bryan Brown appears in a littler supporting part, and its extraordinary to see him consume it for a couple of scenes. I didn't perceive Sullivan Stapleton at all when he showed up, and even after I took in it was the gentleman from "300: Rise Of The Empire," I didn't remember him. He's great here as a hen-pecked spouse who has a dreadful betting issue, and Teresa Palmer makes a decent showing as the alpha in the relationship. Luke Hemsworth, who appears to be the Billy Baldwin of the Hemsworth clan, plays the boyfriend-on-the-side of one of the characters with all the wet-eyed insistence of a puppy who wants to be scratched. Geoffrey Simpson's photography is both bright and lush, and I like watching a noir-styled story told in a way that visually destroys the cliches. Simpson is one of those guys who may not be wildly well-known yet, but whose work is very, very strong, and I love the way he shoots Australia in the movie.

"Kill Me Three Times" is a confident smaller film, and if you enjoy this sort of chess game with bullets, you'll probably get a kick out of it, and for Pegg fans, it's pretty much continuous pleasure throughout.
