Kill Me Again
After Faye and her psychotic boyfriend, Vince, successfully rob a mob courier, Faye decides to abscond with the loot. She heads to Reno, where she hires feckless private investigator Jack Andrews to help fake her death. He pulls the scheme off and sets up Faye with a new identity, only to have her skip out on him without paying. Jack follows her to Vegas and learns he's not the only one after her. Vince has discovered that she's still alive.
Critics Sentiment
Fay shoots Jack but he survives with money
Opening credits play over boring desert scenery
The film recovers from its weak opening credits to deliver a satisfying noir conclusion with multiple twists.
Kill Me Again starts sluggishly with boring credits but establishes solid noir foundations through its criminal setup and femme fatale dynamics. The middle section suffers from pacing issues and casting problems, particularly Kilmer's misfit as a hard-boiled PI, though Dahl's directorial assurance keeps it watchable. The film redeems itself with a cleverly constructed finale featuring multiple betrayals and an ironic twist that reviewers found genuinely satisfying.
