Kill Me Three Times

Like many other titles on IMDb i'm surprised by the low ratings and mixed reviews that this title received. I believe that watching a movie doesn't require me to be a professional critic or reviewer so i don't need to start nitpicking every little detail or the composition in it's entirety. That usually happens after a second or third viewing or at a much later time.

With that being said, i find that this movie, like many others, deserves a chance to win you over. It might not be perfect, but what movie out there is? (Especially when you're looking for goofs and mistakes in every scene)

It's got a good mix of humor and action all narrated in an interestingly cut up way where not all facets of a sequence are revealed at once. The acting, soundtrack and location choices were also rather good and they fit well in this small world they created in the movie.

I for one had a good time watching it and if you do decided to give it a try i hope that you also do.

I do not know why this film has such low reviews. It is not a big budget film but it is well made and funny throughout (if you like dark humour). The casting is excellent and Simon Pegg puts in a deliberately understated performance as the only professional killer among a whole bunch of nasty individuals. I have watched this again and again, because I notice a new nuance every time I view. Watch and enjoy. There are decidedly humorous but cringe-worthy moments throughout the film and the "I'll be there in an hour" catchphrase of his hired-killer has added significance towards the end (not really a spoiler - watch what I mean!) Lovely performances from many great actors/actresses - Simon Pegg is excellent - Bryan Brown is just so unlikable. The plot twists are fantastic. Watch and enjoy!

With it's upbeat music and sunny weather KMTT is much darker than it seems at first sight. More Fargo than anything else, it is a 'comedy of errors' - if murder can be funny. The cast delivers well, though Simon Pegg as the bad guy is better than most with his laconic and slightly creepy character. The plot and pacing are competent, as are the photography and editing. Still, somehow, KMTT can't quite seem to make up its mind whether to be humorous or serious; there are actually a couple of rather nasty bits that are delivered in an off-hand way. Fairly predictable, but all the same the way it is done is tidy enough. It's worth watching for some light entertainment, just don't expect to remember it the next week.

This movie is for you if

• you enjoy a gripping story mixed with good acting, nice camera work and tight editing
• critical remarks like "isn't that a derivative of what we have already seen from Tarantino, Guy Ritchie et al" don't bother you

What starts as an intriguing sequence of events turns into an edge of the seat affair by the time you are into the 30th minute. A must watch for thriller buffs and if you are a Simon Pegg fan, that's one more reason why you should not miss it.

Some of the reviews of this movie are puzzling (its also hard to take some of them seriously with the embarrassing misuse of the word 'to').

I don't see that anyone connected to this flick attempted to make an earth shattering film.. It was just a fun ride for me. I had a good time with this movie.

In general I thought it was acted well. The music punched the Tarantino parallel, and added a fun tone. I thought it was worth seeing for sure..

I guess if you go in expecting a Tarantino flick, you will be disappointed - and evidently displeased that a movie would resemble one.
