"Kill Me Three Times" is the kind of thriller found for 50 cents at a garage sale, read once on a plane or beach and then promptly forgotten about. The story is filled with preordained double-crosses and unfortunate coincidences. But like the by-the-numbers novels of James Patterson or Lee Child (Alex Cross and Jack Reacher, respectively), the movie is grounded by a compelling central character — in this case assassin / P.I. Charlie Wolf (Simon Pegg). He elevates "Kill Me Three Times" from standard crime fiction to an enjoyable entry into the genre.
