3 Days to Kill

Rating 6 out of 10

Some people can't stand Kevin Costner.  Like detest him and every movie he is in.  I don't get it.  I am a fan.  I think that even when he is in a bad movie he almost always is good.  This is one of those movies.  He takes a movie that otherwise would have gone straight to dvd and makes it a mildly entertaining movie.

Costner plays a long time C.I.A. spy/hitman.  He is the best of the best.  He can take out a room of bad guys without breaking a sweat.   Nothing can stop him.  Well, nothing except a brain tumor that has drifted to his lungs and given him a few months to live.  He wants to walk away and spend what time he has with his estranged teenage daughter and lovely ex-wife.

As luck would have it amazingly the C.I.A has one last job for him to do.  That almost never happens! : >   Not only will they let him walk away but the sexy handler (Amber Heard) has a new experimental drug that could cure is tumors.

Much of the movie is the hokey/sweet efforts he goes to reconnect with is daughter.  Not many surprises. Lots of action and shooting.  Pretty much paint by the numbers but I was mildly entertained.  I would classify this as a decent rental when it comes out.
