It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Costner is great as the quietly dying action hero. The story is of course ridiculous, and unfortunately Amber Heard is both terrible and unbelievable in a one dimensional nonsensically evil role. But the action is great, the pacing is perfect and the settings are refreshingly new and different. It's not a typical action film and it's all in all enjoyable, hence the 8 stars.

This film tells the story of a secret agent who is forced to do one last job in exchange for an experimental treatment for an illness.The story sounds like a thriller, but the delivery of the plot is not as thrilling as it could have been. It is punctuated by frequent lighthearted moments, which interrupts the flow of the thrill. Out of all the characters in the film, I like Hailee Steinfeld the best because she seems the most natural.

3 Days to Kill is a very enjoyable movie. Its is about a man who is a spy and has a sickness that causes him to leave his high risked adventures, and he tries to get a fitter relationship with his wife and his daughter. He pushed them away trying to keep them out of danger. When he gets to where his family is an undercover CIA agent follows him in order to complete her mission, and offers him to do it in exchange to get medicine for his condition that could help him live longer. She meets up with him at a market and while they are having this conversation in the vehicle the camera was up close in their faces to show that there is tension and seriousness of the situation. Once they go to the hotel and he goes to get the accountants worker there is a shooting scene and there is music that only us the audience here to further intensify the situation. There was also a scene where the body guard bends over and Ethan comes behind the door, but the camera shows neither ones faces' but shows what is happening which is than pointing a gun at the bodyguard. In the beginning of the movie when the CIA director is talking to Vivian about her mission the camera tilts at each person when they speak. This movie is a great action movie that is fun to watch with family, and even friends. if you're into action,drama, and thrillers then this is the movie i recommend for you.

With characters named 'The Wolf', 'The Albino', 'The Accountant', and 'The Guido', you can't expect too much quality from '3 Days To Kill', which was directed by McG (the guy who brought us the 'Charlie's Angels' movies and who at one point, wanted to cast Beyonce as Lois Lane in an abandoned remake of 'Superman' several years ago). Needless to say, McG, hasn't done anything of interest ever in his career with the exception of giving a little bit of money to television shows like 'Supernatural' and 'Chuck'.So what is '3 Days To Kill'? It's a big fat silly cliché of a movie. But it's mostly fun if you don't pay attention to ridiculous story plot or stereotypes that are on screen. Last year and this year is a big time for actor Kevin Costner. He has played a few supporting roles as of recently, which were excellent, especially in 'Man of Steel' as Pa Kent. Then we saw him in the new 'Jack Ryan' film, which was great as well. Now, he is a leading man once again, and back to his glory days as a likable yet bad ass type of guy. We've missed you Costner, and we're glad to have you back. And if this is a sign of what's to come, it will only get better from here.'3 Days To Kill' is co-written by Luc Besson of 'The Fifth Element' and 'Leon The Professional' fame. His name even appears in the opening credits above a taxi, which is a throwback to one of his earlier projects. But Besson and McG didn't want to make straight out shoot-em-up thriller. No, they wanted to make three movies in one, all of which never make any sense. They mixed a spy thriller with a silly slapstick comedy, and a coming-of-age film into two long hours without really molding a good story into it.Costner plays Ethan Renner, who is essentially a hit-man for a government agency. He even left his wife Christine (Connie Nielsen) and daughter Zoey (Hailee Steinfeld) to travel the world and take out bad guys, which he is extremely good at. When a job goes wrong, Ethan finds out he has a few months left to live, due to brain cancer. So he moves back to Paris, where his wife and daughter are now living to patch things up and spend his remaining days with them. They reluctantly accept him back on the condition that he not work for the government anymore. So all is well in the Renner household, right? Wrong.Vivi Delay (Amber Heard) shows up, always in some sort of exotic leather outfit with different hair colors to coax back Ethan in for one more job. Ethan declines, but Vivi offers him an experimental drug to cure him. He accepts the offer even though it has some crippling side-effects, which can be instantly and easily cured by drinking shots of vodka. With Ethan's wife gone for a few days on a business trip, he has a few days to kill with his daughter to catch up on lost time with her. And so the film plays out in segments with 20 minutes here and there of Ethan teaching his teenage daughter how to ride a bicycle, taking her for ice cream, and swinging on a swing set, not to mention the long talks of where he's been for the past twelve years.When we're not watching Costner play a father figure, we catch him killing the bad guys, who seem to all have scars and accents. Amber Heard's character is straight out of a Russian spy thriller movie, but only seems to show up for a few minutes during the film and never really goes anywhere. The same can be said for a family of squatters occupying Ethan's home. None of it really makes sense. However, one of the best scenes in the film is when Ethan ties up The Guido to a toilet and is about to torture him when his daughter calls his cell phone and asks for a recipe for spaghetti sauce, to which Ethan forces a frightened Guido to deliver his mother's Italian recipe over the phone.This is the type of stuff that we're dealing with in '3 Days To Kill'. The bad guys are ripped straight out of an 80s pro-American action film. Richard Sammel plays The Wolf and is as stereotypical as they come. You might recognize Sammel from Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglorious Basterds' as the German nazi soldier who got his brains bashed in by the Bear Jew. The dialogue has cheese poured all over it, but the action sequences are very well executed, despite its PG-13 rating. Costner is excellent in this as is Steinfeld and Nielsen. But Costner just carries the film as you just want to hang out with the guy on a weekly basis. Is this worth seeing in the theater? Probably not, but it's a solid movie to watch when it comes out on Netflix.
