“Kill Me Again” (*1/2 out of four) was a grindingly monotonous and unpleasant pulp melodrama about a serial kiler (Brendan Fehr) who finds he’s repeating the same 24 hours over-and-over again with the same waitress (Majandra Delfino) whom he meets at a diner; initially he embraces this fate but soon finds (as does the audience) that it wears down on his sanity. Imagine “Groundhog Day” with a mass-murderer instead of a weatherman and minus its razor-sharp wit and irony and you have a pretty good idea of what to expect here from the grim proceedings. Juergen Heinemann’s striking cinematography is one of film’s few assets.
