Critics Consensus

Thr3e is a shoddily made, thrill-free thriller that isn't half as good as the several movies it borrows from (Adaptation, Saw, Se7en).

Considering that the premise of the entire film is completely impossible, none of this works, starting the second you hit play. The "killer ending" is not a real mental disorder, has never been recorded as a mental disorder, is not even possible as a mental disorder even if it were made up by someone, and is far, far different from multiple personalities (Dissociative Identity Disorder). The whole "psychiatric disturbance" premise doesn't work at all simply because it doesn't follow real-world rules, or even movie rules. The "motive" behind it all is lunacy (not in the way the film means), and completely impossible and illogical. This is simply not how even the most disturbingly severe cases of Dissociative Identity Disorder work. They do not hallucinate every personality throughout life, contrary to what the fictitious A Beautiful Mind might have you believe. The disorder itself is represented here in a form that is so astronomically severe and unrestrainedly pathological that it's just...lame as hell. I can't like a film that takes the disorder and turns it into a fictitious, nonsensical drama because it makes for a ludicrous premise that flies out of reality and into some other realm where even movie logic is bent, as at least there's *some* accuracy in disorders sometimes when represented on-screen. Writers love their multiple personality nonsense despite apparently knowing absolutely nothing about it whatsoever, and the way it's done here sucks. Don't bother; the ending ruins anything the movie might have done right before it so it's just extraordinarily stupid. It borrowers FILMS like SAW, ADAPTATION & SE7EN which that's unacceptable it has to be films that are NOT borrowed and BTW the character name Kevin it makes me disappointed and frustrated because that is actually my first name. It is definitely a no rating out of 10, don't watch this, don't buy this and if you buy it for like $1 I think you can let that slide its just a dollar it wouldn't not frustrate your money, one dollar nothing to $5 which what a good comparison. On the DVD version which it will not have a blu-ray release it has no special features, not even deleted scenes, bloopers, behind the scenes, featurettes, short documentaries just none of the features of the dvd. Not even a unrated version to make it more entertaining. What a piece of s__t!

Full one star as there was a little twist to the ending. Story was lacking and not enough to keep any real interest.

I watched this on January 3rd. I had more fun turning the movie off 3/4 through and putting the Christmas tree away. This highschool play shouldn't have made it to video

Boring and forgettable and cliche. Also there were several plot holes that bugged me.

A plot you can easily get lost in, but you can't lose the melodrama or the cheesiness.

Chicago Reader

The vile sadism of the Saw movies has been replaced by decorative references to Saint Augustine and Immanuel Kant, and there's a beautiful but brainy police profiler (Justine Waddell) on hand to dispense a thick layer of psychobabble.

There's precious little in the way of clammy tension or mounting apprehension as Thr3e plods toward a climax that is startlingly absurd, yet not entirely illogical.

Ultimately Three, for all its philosophizing, is little more than a standard serial-killer movie with pretensions.

Better than most January releases, the time of year when studios throw their junk at unsuspecting moviegoers, but it still isn't anything that will be remembered by the time 2008 rolls around.

about half-way through the film, I started to get a sinking feeling that this was leading to a giant cliche
