 It's a sure bet the regular gore hounds will be disappointed by the film's transparencies, but will the faithful flock to a film that offers a lot more grit than the pallid stuff that generally passes for Christian entertainment? Ask Mel Gibson.
A shaky narrative, clumsy storytelling, and unintentionally campy acting make this a frustrating movie- Thr3e is an eccentric combination of horror film and religious morality play that isn't entirely successful on either level but gets by on the sheer professionalism of its makers.
This is one of the most confusing, horribly written movies I've ever seen, and I'm the king of watching bad movies... and liking them.
It’s relentlessly mediocre and does not belong in a venue where you’ll have to pay $9 to see it.
...it's not undone by preachiness or an excess of cant, it's undone by indifferent performances, cheesy special effects and the general incredulousness of the script.
well, you know what they say about roads paved with good intentions.
A tame variation on the usual serial-If Thr3e is any indication of what we can expect from the emerging trend of studio-If you happen to be a sheltered religious kid who's dying to see a serial-Thr3e is exploitative nonsense that cheapens the studio that released it. And if that's not enough, the film is completely inept in its direction, story construction and performances.
Waddell barely is competent as we listen to her monotonous line readings and wonder why she has scored any job higher on the Hollywood food chain than posing in a bikini in a Doritos commercial.
Perfect for that good Christian family who’s aching to see a neutered, unoriginal crime thriller that clumsily coughs up its 'spiritual' theme only in the last line.
The scene of faux flames burning in front of a city bus will go down in the annals of Le Cinema du Frommage.
It's awfully familiar, right up to the ending, which bogarts the ending of another recent thrill-Thr3e is far short of Se7en.
Ultimately aimed at a Christian audience looking for genre entertainment with a certain sense of propriety, the film tries to serve two masters and doesn't quite deliver for either.
I've seen films that said nothing in entertaining, even compelling ways. 'Thr3e' is not one of them. At least it's not wholesome too.
Perhaps on the page this was spellbinding; on the screen, it's frequently hilarious... The embarrassing, jaw-Astronomically awful, like the crappiest copy of a Dario Argento giallo ever made...Thr3e isn't even half the movie Se7en was.
It has a triple-Thr3e is r3ally, r3ally aw4ul.
If you like the idea of a retread, heavy-

There are no dead bodies here, but perhaps filmgoers, tired of all those secular scares and heathen horrors, won't miss the aesthetic pleasure of a creative murder scene.
Thr3e needs help with more than spelling.
Directed by Robby Henson, this theologically driven thriller from 20th Century Fox's Fox Faith division, steps gingerly around sex and watches its tongue. But it's far too comfy with the lingua franca of American cinema: violence.
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.
Suspenselessly directed by Robby Henson, Thr3e commits the eighth deadly sin -Rent Se7en for an authentically scary thriller with religious undertones.
Ultimately Three, for all its philosophizing, is little more than a standard serial-It's hard to imagine an audience that will be satisfied.
A bad movie only fans of deeply bad movies can love.
