On the Count of Three
On the Count of Three is a 2021 American dark comedy drama film directed by Jerrod Carmichael (in his feature directorial debut) and written by Ari Katcher and Ryan Welch. It stars Carmichael and Christopher Abbott as two best friends who make a suicide pact and spend their final day taking care of unfinished business, with one taking out his violent and hedonistic desires whilst the other learns to value life. The supporting cast includes Tiffany Haddish, J. B. Smoove, Lavell Crawford, and Henry Winkler.
On the Count of Three had its world premiere at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, and was released in select theaters and on-demand by Annapurna Pictures and Orion Pictures through United Artists Releasing on May 13, 2022. It received generally positive reviews.
Despite being offered a promotion, depressed mulch factory worker Val attempts suicide in a toilet stall at work, but stops when his annoying co-worker enters the restroom singing "It's a Great Day to Be Alive" by Travis Tritt to himself. Val breaks up with his girlfriend, Natasha, quits his job, then helps his best friend Kevin escape from the psychiatric hospital in which he was placed three days earlier after attempting suicide himself.
Val tells Kevin of his suicide attempt and depressive thoughts, and the two make a pact to simultaneously shoot each other. Kevin panics and smacks Val's hand away when Val pulls the trigger, then convinces Val that they should make the most of their last day of life and kill themselves at the end of the day.
At a diner, Kevin encounters his childhood bully, who continues to taunt him and show no remorse for his former actions, even getting his wife to join in, while Kevin quietly becomes enraged.
Leaving the diner, Kevin sets his mind on killing Dr. Brenner, a child psychiatrist who molested him as a child, despite Val trying to dissuade him. Upon arriving at Brenner's office, they learn that he won't be in until later that day, so they pass time riding dirt bikes, where Val falls off his bike and cuts his leg. The two go to a gas station to get gauze for Val's leg where they encounter a rude clerk, whom Kevin robs at gunpoint and urges to be more polite.
Kevin and Val then head to the repair shop owned by Val's neglectful and abusive father, Lyndell, who stole $2,300 from him, when he left and whom he hasn't seen since. Although Lyndell initially tries to make amends with his son, Val remains cold and only wants his money back. The two break out into a fight, in which Val get severely beaten, until Kevin intervenes and knocks Lyndell out with a tire iron. They steal the money from the register and leave.
Val then learns that Natasha is pregnant with his child. He returns an engagement ring he bought her and attempts to give her the cash he stole from his father instead, which she rejects and encourages him to see a therapist. Meanwhile Kevin drives to the lake where his bully and family hang out and pulls out a handgun from the glove compartment, but ultimately leaves without doing anything.
