Kill Me Three Times
(Action/Dark Comedy Film from Australia– Starring Simon Pegg)
This is the story of
an assassin hired to kill someone. Oddly
enough, he doesn’t seem to be the only one with the target in his sights.
Many review sites have
hated this movie, and I’m pretty glad I didn’t consult them prior to choosing
to see it. I loved the way this film was
constructed. It starts at the middle, goes
to the beginning and ends with, well, the end.
I didn’t think this sort of storytelling would work in a visual medium
but it works remarkably well. A friend
described it as Australian Tarantino, which gives you a clue to the dark humor
and that you'll see plenty of interesting shots of arcs of blood as well.
Not as gory as a typical Tarantino, but the main character is an
assassin, so you have to expect some violence.
Because of the construction, and how the story is revealed, I can’t say
too much more without giving away more of the plot than I should.
BTW: The last shot in
the movie is absolutely priceless.
