3 Days To Kill
Directed by McG
Screenplay: Adi Hasak and Luc Besson
Starring: Kevin Costner; Amber heard; and Hailee Steinfeld
A dying CIA agent, (Costner) while trying to take care if his estranged daughter, is offered an experimental drug by Vivi Delay (Amber Heard), another agent, that could save his life in exchange for one last assignment.
This film surprised me. It has a combination of thriller, drama, and comedy. Usually when a film combines all of these elements it struggles with the tone. I think this works because it takes all these elements and it acknowledges it, the screenwriters owns this by combining the elements for laughs and thrills into certain scenes. For example, In one scene he is threatning a witness and helping his daughter at the same time!! It is odd and it works.
Costner is on a roll right now: Hatfield And McCoys; Man Of Steel; Jack Ryan; Draft Day; and McFarland USA, all very good performances. He must have a really good agent (other than the heavy handed Black Or White), his choices have been really good. This film is no exception, he is in every scene and is not afraid of growing old or looking old on screen.
4 out of 5 stars for 3 Days To Die. An enjoyable and sometimes silly film, that is not made to win awards, but just to sit down and have fun watching. 3 Ways To Die is available on Netflix for rent and to stream.
As always thanks for your time.
