Kill Me Three Times - Simon Pegg as assassin/Yay! Netflix

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Dark comedy featuring Simon Pegg as a hitman who gets caught up in the drama of two unhappily married couples and a dirty cop.

The formula is like Snatch where everyone's actions affect the next person coming onto the scene.

It's a cute movie. Not must see by any stretch of the imagination, but it's entertaining enough.

I do think they got a little too cute with the plot late in the film. There's one twist that doesn't work with the rest of the film.

I put that in my queue about 2 days ago.

I have found all of Pegg's films to be at least mildly enjoyable.

So... like Snatch, am I going to need a translator/subtitles?
It's not me, it's someone else.

You haven't seen Run Fatboy Run, then.

Kind of.

There are accents and sometimes I think certain folks mumble. The plot is easy to follow though.

Except for some odd flashback stuff early on. Weird pacing.

What part of that do you need subtitles for? Pitt sounds intelligible after a couple viewings.

It was ok, probably the least enjoyable of all of Pegg's stuff I've seen, and I think I've seen all of it.
