A dying CIA agent trying to reconnect with his estranged daughter is offered an experimental drug that could save his life in exchange for one last assignment.
Director: McG (Terminator Salvation, This Means War)
Starring: Kevin Costner, Amber Heard, Hailee Steinfeld, Connie Nielsen
Kevin Costner has made a return to the limelight after many years in the background. He's shown in this film that he can be a formidable action hero. He's cool and calm, but needs to be in order to stay alive. For his last job he must take down a ruthless terrorist, but there's a catch; he has to look after his daughter at the same time. Ethan (Costner) finds dispatching criminals easier than relating to his daughter, who's played by the brilliantly brash Steinfeld. Costner and Steinfeld's distorted yet beautiful relationship in 3 Days to Kill is disjointed as Ethan jumps from attempting to be the best father he can be to deadly agent in a short space of time. The action is standard. Costner isn't the issue, it's raw and powerful, but lacking in fresh ideas. Amber Heard's character is annoying to no end as the CIA representative forcing Ethan back into action. Stay with 3DTK for the for the father-daughter scenes, they are pleasant and uplifting.
3/5
