I do not know why this film has such low reviews. It is not a big budget film but it is well made and funny throughout (if you like dark humour). The casting is excellent and Simon Pegg puts in a deliberately understated performance as the only professional killer among a whole bunch of nasty individuals. I have watched this again and again, because I notice a new nuance every time I view. Watch and enjoy. There are decidedly humorous but cringe-worthy moments throughout the film and the "I'll be there in an hour" catchphrase of his hired-killer has added significance towards the end (not really a spoiler - watch what I mean!) Lovely performances from many great actors/actresses - Simon Pegg is excellent - Bryan Brown is just so unlikable. The plot twists are fantastic. Watch and enjoy!

It's the coastal community of Eagles Nest, Australia. Alice Taylor (Alice Braga) fears for her life from her husband Jack Taylor (Callan Mulvey). She's having an affair with Dylan Smith (Luke Hemsworth). Jack hires Charlie Wolfe (Simon Pegg) to spy on her and then for him to kill her. The movie starts with Charlie killing a man. Meanwhile, corrupt policeman Bruce Jones (Bryan Brown) is demanding payment for gambling debts from Nathan Webb (Sullivan Stapleton). Nathan is a dentist and his wife Lucy (Teresa Palmer) is his receptionist. They come up with a scheme to kill Alice, switch dental records with Lucy, and collect the insurance. Charlie photographs them kidnapping Alice and blackmails them. Bruce also blackmails Nathan for half of the insurance profit. Alice had taken a gun and $250k from her husband. It's a multi-layered crime story that is told one layer at a time.It's a complicated interconnected modern crime story that better directors have been doing. Those other movies have better dialog and cooler moves. Pegg playing against type is a little interesting. Unraveling the layers is somewhat compelling early on. However, the movie becomes less compelling as more is revealed. Despite all the mayhem, this isn't fun enough. This is not good enough.

Like many other titles on IMDb i'm surprised by the low ratings and mixed reviews that this title received. I believe that watching a movie doesn't require me to be a professional critic or reviewer so i don't need to start nitpicking every little detail or the composition in it's entirety. That usually happens after a second or third viewing or at a much later time.With that being said, i find that this movie, like many others, deserves a chance to win you over. It might not be perfect, but what movie out there is? (Especially when you're looking for goofs and mistakes in every scene)It's got a good mix of humor and action all narrated in an interestingly cut up way where not all facets of a sequence are revealed at once. The acting, soundtrack and location choices were also rather good and they fit well in this small world they created in the movie.I for one had a good time watching it and if you do decided to give it a try i hope that you also do.

With it's upbeat music and sunny weather KMTT is much darker than it seems at first sight. More Fargo than anything else, it is a 'comedy of errors' - if murder can be funny. The cast delivers well, though Simon Pegg as the bad guy is better than most with his laconic and slightly creepy character. The plot and pacing are competent, as are the photography and editing. Still, somehow, KMTT can't quite seem to make up its mind whether to be humorous or serious; there are actually a couple of rather nasty bits that are delivered in an off-hand way. Fairly predictable, but all the same the way it is done is tidy enough. It's worth watching for some light entertainment, just don't expect to remember it the next week.
