Hitfix
Kill Me Three Times is a confident smaller film, and if you enjoy this sort of chess game with bullets, you'll probably get a kick out of it, and for Pegg fans, it's pretty much continuous pleasure throughout. - 70
Village Voice
The flick, written by debut screenwriter James McFarland, is twisty, clever, and totally Nineties. - 63
Movie Nation
Enjoyable mainly for its performances — Pegg’s comic venality, Palmer’s nagging ruthlessness, Brown’s quiet cruelty — and the creative ways it kills its way toward an ending that we’ve seen pretty close to the beginning. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
This derivative smoothie appears to have been made by putting Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez and the Coen Brothers into a blender along with Martin McDonagh’s Seven Psychopaths. The brash result squanders a talented cast, sharp visuals and spectacular locations on a grisly trail of mayhem that rarely yields much mirth. - 40
The Dissolve
Kill Me Three Times is reasonably absorbing while it’s in progress, if only because it succeeds in inspiring curiosity about where it’s headed, but the finale is such a blood-soaked shrugfest that it retroactively makes everything that preceded it feel like a waste of time. - 38
Slant Magazine
The affectionate humanism that typically laces Simon Pegg's postmodern self-awareness is missing from Kriv Stenders's film. - 25
New York Post
A circle of lowlifes gradually kill one another off to no great effect in the dull and woebegone comic noir Kill Me Three Times. - 20
Variety
Director Kriv Stenders’ tiresome tale of scheming adulterers, cruel spouses and one bemused hitman (Simon Pegg) feels like poser noir all the way, never achieving the darkly comic flair or freshness of style needed to sell its fatalistic twists.
