In Eagle's Nest, Australia, Jack Taylor (Callan Mulvey) believes his wife Alice (Alice Braga) is cheating on him and hires private investigator and contract killer Charlie Wolfe (Simon Pegg) to take her out. But before he can carry out the job, Alice, after robbing Jack's safe, is kidnapped and sent over the edge of a cliff in a flaming car by her dentist Nathan Webb (Sullivan Stapleton) and his wife Lucy (Teresa Palmer). While Charlie returns to Jack to collect his fee, Nathan and Lucy set their ambitious plan in motion to collect Alice's insurance payout. Charlie also tries to blackmail Nathan for killing Alice but with conflicting loyalties amongst the characters will anyone live long enough to come away with the cash? (Universal Pictures UK)

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 expected way more from this movie and I didn't get it. It's funny, but it's not really entertaining, it's action-packed, but there aren't any great scenes that would blow you away. It's just overall kinda average, but I'd even give it less because I think with such actors, much more could have been done. At least more fun.
