This movie is great. It definitely kept me entertained and I couldn't stop watching it.

It osscillates between being boring and dragged out and just not making sense at certain points the whole time. Terrible pacing overall and everything else is just subpar about it. Costner feels like he's on auto pilot phoning the whole thing in the entire time. The villians are super forgettable as well. Steinfeld isn't bad and probably the best thing in this. The direction is super basic, the lighting is dull, and the action scenes are trying to copy the Bourne flicks. The editing will just get super fast out of nowhere during action scenes after just being dragged out. The actual spy/assassination plot makes no sense at certain points in the middle. The plot twist also just comes out of nowhere with no context either. The biggest sin this here is the family/daughter storyline feels like a completely different story from the actual spy plot and never works the two together in a cohesive way. The family stuff is defintely the better of the two and the scenes always make sense but they feel so disjointed. The music also just man I'm struggling to remember any of it and none of it fits for a action or drama. The dancing with the daughter scene was the only scene that was good but it just went straight back to being boring and convuluted. Skip this.

I don't understand why all the negativity from the critics. This is a perfectly entertaining spy action movie balanced with plenty of heart and a lineup of charming side characters. Worth a watch.

3 Days to Kill is an entertaining and fast-paced action thriller that cleverly blends humor, emotion, and suspense. The movie’s charm lies in its willingness to not take itself too seriously. It’s puzzling why the reviews were so harsh, as 3 Days to Kill offers solid entertainment.

Lost me at the vacuous opening briefing. This movie was poorly written, mindless, convoluted, and meant I guess to check some boxes to appease--you know who.

Movie doesn't take itself too seriously and is a good time.

28%? I call BS on that score. This is a Great CIA thriller. Great acting. Very sleek. I’ve watch all the way through about 10 times. The whole cough/cancer/injection thing is well done, too. So, in closing eat a D critics/haters.

By the time you reach the end of this review, I will have totally forgotten even watching McG’s latest action offering, ‘3 Days to Kill.’ Does that mean it’s a bad film? No. Not really. Kevin Costner stars as a CIA agent in Paris who has been diagnosed with only a few months to live... unless he completes ‘one last job’ (in which case the CIA will cure him). So... have you ever seen a film where a man (normally CIA/FBI etc) has to run around a city trying to kill someone? You have, right? Probably starring Liam Neeson, Matt Damon, or someone just like him. In that case, you’ve basically seen 3 Days to Kill, only you’ll have watched a better version. There’s nothing really wrong with this film. There’s just nothing that make it stand out over all the dozens other similar spy/chase movies. You can literally do something else, like surf the internet, while it’s on and still understand every last aspect of the plot. It tries to be serious, but comes across a little too ‘comic book-like.’ The villains are TOO villainous, the sexy CIA contact Kevin has to meet is a little TOO sexy. It all just comes across as too far-fetched. I lost count of how many high speech car chases I watched through the streets of Paris with bodies falling out of car windows every few hundred yards, only for the police to never feel the need to investigate and every civilian just getting on with their lives as if there wasn’t a real life game of Grand Theft Auto going on all around them. There’s a subplot that seems to date back to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ‘True Lies,’ where Kevin has to ‘reconnect’ with his estranged wife and daughter. Just because Arnie’s offering was twenty years ago, doesn’t mean that time has managed to top it. If you like spy/chase films then you’ve probably seen all the best ones. I’m sure a film or genre will eventually come along to top the Bourne films or whatever Liam Neeson’s latest offering is and that’ll be great. However, this film isn’t it. In fact... what was it called again?

Not a bad movie if you have free time. It's. Worth a watch

Not sure why this movie is rated so low .it wasn't great but it should be atleast a 5 or a 6.

Veteran CIA agent Ethan Renner is one of the best and most dangerous assassin in the world. But after a botched mission, he discovers that he is dying of brain cancer. With maybe 3 months to live, Ethan decides to resign and goes to Paris to spend time with his estranged wife and daughter. "The longer I was gone, it felt like the harder it was to come back." - Ethan Enter Vivi Delay, an elite CIA assassin. Vivi makes Ethan a offer he can't refuse, just this one last mission... in exchange for an experimental drug that may save his life.... Just find and kill the world's most ruthless terrorist, "The Wolf" "The Wolf is the most dangerous terrorist this world has ever faced. Only you can stop him. Question is: kill or die?" - Vivi Of course Ethan agrees, but with his wife out of town for 3 days, he has to look after and try to reconnect with his teenage daughter, Zooey... who he hardly even knows. "Good or bad, when you work for the agency, it becomes your whole life" - Ethan Ethan seams more at ease killing the bad guys than bonding with his insecure and resentful teenage daughter. Mixing both his covert hit-man work and the father and daughter time plays out with a lot of humor. What a nice surprise. I did not think Kevin Costner could pull this film off. Looks more like a Liam Neeson type character. But Luc Besson threw in some family drama and a bit of dark comedy with this action, spy thriller... And Costner is a good fit for this story. He is a dark, brooding, cold-blooded killer that really loves his family. I do think it is missing that cool Luc Besson's edge. I wish he had directed his own story. But still a very good, entertaining movie. Cast - Kevin Costner, Amber Heard, Hailee Steinfeld, Connie Nielsen, Tómas Lemarquis, Richard Sammel

VERY underrated movie. Loved the plot, the squatters, the middle eastern guy, and many other aspects of this excellent story. Worth watching.

I think there is a lot of potential with this movie that just wasn't realized. Their story about a Dad trying to come home and be with his family again will still keep one foot in his old life is a good one. Once you had the hyper sexual Amber Heard as his handler and cancer gets a little much. There were some funny and tender moments but not enough to make this movie more than okay.

Love Coster in anything but this was cheesy. I wish he would have wacked his daughter and ended the movie early

It was like a chick-flick for people who like action films. Cheesey and boring. Story was all over the place and the pace felt like 1 minute was an hour

A generic action movie that really didn’t go anywhere. No depth

Really loved the comedic aspect of the guy having to deal with family matters in the middle of missions. His relationship with his daughter was touching, as well as the relationship with his ennemies because of it. I laughed many times, as it was easy to relate. Amber Heard was absolutely amazing. I've read everywhere how she is supposedly a bad actress after the trial with her ex husband, clearly all of that is false, she is incredible and her face at the end of the movie just made it all the more emotional. Could not have ended better. If you're reading this review, this is your sign to check by yourself instead of believing the bad press on her. I hope she gets many more future roles. Watching her was addicting. She has perfect facial expressions for every single second. I also really loved the daughter. I hope to find more about the actress as well, she really got into the character. It really was a great and touching movie.

Good cast but a bad plot and bad writing. Steinfeld and Costner had strong chemistry.

Watched this on my quest to see everything with Hailee Steinfeld in it. I thought the action bits and plot were both wildly generic. However, the scenes where Kevin Costner bonds with his daughter and the squatters in his apartment were enough to make this work a bit.

Wow, pretty good action exceeded expectations, funny & charming story plot; really enjoy it.
