Plots(1)
It's Paradise, until everyone gets hurt. Kill Me Three Times is a darkly comedic thriller from rising star director Kriv Stenders. Simon Pegg plays the mercurial assassin, Charlie Wolfe, who discovers he isn't the only person trying to kill the siren of a sun-drenched surfing town (Alice Braga). Charlie quickly finds himself at the center of three tales of murder, mayhem, blackmail and revenge. With an original screenplay by James McFarland, the film also stars Sullivan Stapleton (as a gambling addict who attempts to pay off his debts through a risky life insurance scam), Teresa Palmer (as a small town Lady Macbeth), Callan Mulvey (as a wealthy beach club owner simmering with jealousy), Luke Hemsworth (as a local surfer fighting for the woman he loves) and Bryan Brown (as a corrupt cop who demands the juiciest cut).

If Simon Pegg wasn’t in it, I wouldn’t have even watched it, but since I was curious to see him, I managed to pull through the hour and a half. And I feel that if it were longer, I would’ve ended up with brain lobotomy. The title in itself – Kill Me Three Times – clearly shows that there is no logic present here. It’s not only about logic, though, it’s also about the story which is awfully flawed and uninteresting; I haven’t seen a movie this boring and idiotic in a while. All that’s left is Simon Pegg who was kind of salvaging it with his murderer character. But it wasn’t enough.

I guess I expected a lot more from this film, and I didn't get it. It's funny but not really entertaining, it's action-packed but there are no great scenes to blow you away. It's just overall kind of average, but I'll give it even less because I believe with such actors, much more could have been done. There could have been more fun, at least.
