![]() Observing these devious scammers from a distance, cold-blooded Charlie thinks he sees a way not only to have them do much of his dirty work for him, but perhaps a way to dramatically increase his already considerable fee.ĭirector Stenders (Dark Frontier, Red Dog) brings a perverse dark-humor streak to the grisly goings-on that doesn't always prepare us for the level of cartoonish (but still graphic and blood-spurting) violence, but does distance us from the material just enough to keep things palatable. There is not only his angry client, bar owner Jack Taylor (Callan Mulvey), but his abused wife, Alice (Alice Braga) Nathan Webb (Sullicab Stapleton), the dentist with a gambling addiction, and his demanding receptionist wife Lucy (Teresa Palmer), who just happens to be Jack's sister Alice's mechanic boyfriend Dylan (Luke Hemsworth) and even corrupt cop Bruce Jones (Bryan Brown). An assassin discovers hes not the only one after his target in the new red band trailer for the action thriller Kill Me Three Times. Overall, Kill Me Three Times is maybe worth a watch on Netflix but definitely not the price of a movie ticket.But this lone-wolfe assassin quickly realizes, to his everlasting bemusement and satisfaction, that he's far from the only one in the scenic, sun-drenched beach town of Eagles Nest, in western Australia, with murder on his or her mind. Kill Me Three Times Red Band Trailer with Simon Pegg. That said, the characters get lost in the shuffle, which makes it difficult to get invested in any of them - most notably the stock siren Alice, who's supposed to be the linchpin of the whole thing. The Trek star plays an assassin mired in mayhem, murder, blackmail and revenge in this darkly comic. ![]() To its credit, the story does include some clever plotting, specifically in the third act, as well as a few nifty set pieces (emphasis on "few"). That's a shame, too, since Stenders' visual style is very much on point - not to mention the gorgeous locations, which do occasionally breathe life into some of the scenes. And despite the movie's comic sensibilities, only Pegg is able to elicit a few chuckles the rest is only slightly amusing at best. The dialogue is about as straightforward as it gets, only serving to progress the plot and leaving the characters high and dry. Teresa Palmer and Sullivan Stapleton in Kill Me Three TimesThe thing is, all these characters are pretty much the same on paper: same voice, same duplicity, same hokey one-liners, etc. There's the dentist (Sullivan Stapleton) and his wife (Teresa Palmer), who are also planning to murder Braga's character Alice the grizzled dirty cop (Bryan Brown), who's on to the murderous couples scheme and the hunky gas station clerk (Luke Hemsworth), who's having an affair with Alice. Indeed, one of the big problems with screenwriter James McFarland's script is that it's chock-full with Tarantino and Rodriguez-esque characters, but without any of their delightful eccentricities.

Simon Pegg plays the cunning assassin, Charlie Wolfe, who discovers he isn’t the only person trying to kill the temptress of a sun-drenched surfing town (Alice Braga). While Charlie Wolfe's sense of humor is on-the-nose at times, Pegg's delivery gives the character a much-needed bit of quirk. Description KILL ME THREE TIMES is a darkly comedic thriller from rising star director Kriv Stenders (RED DOG). Obviously the big get for Kill Me Three Times is Pegg, and the Shaun of the Dead star does a good job of playing against type as a conniving, unfeeling gun for hire. In typical Quentin Tarantino fashion, we see the events unfold from numerous perspectives, each one shedding more light on the situation. However, Wolfe soon discovers he's not the only one after his mark, and ends up embroiled in all manner of mayhem, murder and betrayal.
