Straight up, the idea of Simon Pegg as a ruthless mercenary who gets caught in the middle of an intricate revenge/murder plot sounds pretty rad. Unfortunately, in execution, director Kriv Stenders' Kill Me Three Times comes off as a wannabe Pulp Fiction, albeit with some decent twists and turns. While the movie certainly has its moments -- thanks in part to Pegg's crass and murderous lead -- it ultimately falls short of the cult comedy-thrillers it's trying to ape.
Set in the fictional Australian surf town of Eagles Nest, the story follows Charlie Wolfe (Pegg), a quicksilver assassin who's hired to kill the wife (Alice Braga) of a wealthy bar owner (Callan Mulvey). 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. In typical Quentin Tarantino fashion, we see the events unfold from numerous perspectives, each one shedding more light on the situation.
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. 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. Alas, the same can't be said for the rest of characters, who are all positively bland. That's not really the fault of the actors, mind you, but the writing.
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. 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. 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. The dialogue is about as straightforward as it gets, only serving to progress the plot and leaving the characters high and dry. And despite the movie's comic sensibilities, only Pegg is able to elicit a few chuckles; the rest is only slightly amusing at best. 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.
Kill Me Three Times offers the kind of mild enjoyment you wait for until it's out on VOD. Luckily, it's already there.
