Kill Me Three Times more like Kill This Movie Three Times so it doesn't get a full release.
The story is about a professional hitman who botches a contract and has to deal with three big problems: murder, blackmail and revenge - all revolving around him.
I'm the kind of person who likes to watch movies that are well known to everyone and the others that are low budget and never heard of before by mostly everyone. I came across Kill Me Three Times before it was even release worldwide, it had some critics reviews from some kind of film festival somewhere but I still had a little interest in it and at the time it only had one photo and no trailer. Now it's got it's worldwide release and wow this movie got a beaten chewed up by critic calling it "A disease and a pure mess". I was surprised of how much backlash this movie got and as I'm speaking right now this has a 9% on Rotten Tomatoes. And after seeing the movie I can see what people were saying, this movie was trying to hard to be something that it's not.
The whole movie feels like it's trying to hard to be like Quentin Tarantino films with the dialogue trying to be down to earth and original but this movie doesn't have Tarantino himself to pull of his magic. And the style of the movie has a little touch of Tarantino as well and yes I know I keep bringing up Tarantino but that's honestly what was in my head through out the film.
Simon Pegg did fine in this movie and so did the other cast as well, nothing really special but nothing god awful.
I can't really say anything else that I thought was good in the movie. The writing was blah, the directing was a bit chopper and overall Kill Me Three Times is bland and forgettable.
