That was an excellent one.

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

3 days to kill 2014 Director: McG Screenplay: Luc Besson and Adi Hasak Cast: Kevin Costner, Amber Heard. Hailee Steinfeld, Connie Nielson and Richard Sammel Plot: A dying CIA agent takes on a mission in order to earn an experimental cure. Review: I really enjoyed this movie because it shows you what people are willing to do for family. The direction and screenplay aren't bad. The casting and acting aren't bad either. All in all I would give this three out of a possible five stars.

I was reading the reviews of the brilliant FENCES - where people were saying it was so bad etc. well guess what that was double racism, as it was about the ex-slaves of America in a contemporary setting - but it was also obviously hand-picked by Denzel Washington, for production - so what are you really saying? Anyway Kevin Costner's 3 Days to A Kill is the worst movie so far in the 20th C, I think -- the bit I was watching, anyway. And as I write crits without polluting my senses, as you don't need to be run over by a train to know how that feels; as well you don't need to hear the end of a song to know you don't like it. This doesn't apply to artists, because when I first heard Amy Winehouse, I thought she sounded like a female Louie Armstrong and I was later to learn her complete oeuvre is brilliant. Anyway (again please note this is the correct way to review a film, you need to discuss cultural relevant matters, you don't just give a blow-by-blow account of the plot!) - back to the film - In it they relate killing about 6 people w/ the boss woman entering on stiletto heels - and a big emphasis on and close up shots of her stiletto heels, stiletto heels apparently is the signifier of ' you have to die' and then he takes the boss who arrived later back to some apartment where there was a negro woman and her young children -- and he said to the kids who on enquiring what he was doing: I am going to be in the bathroom, so Do Not Disturb Me, and the kid retorts: Are you the good guy or the bad guy? And then he begins to gaffer tape this boss guy to the bathroom fittings - when the phone rang, and it was the headmistress of his daughter's school - she needed to talk to him about his daughter, and he turns to that boss guy and says: We are going to school ! Luckily at that point I was saved by an advert. Yep poss could be the worst, and another thing was Kevin Costner had grown a short beard, for the role but it was a real Neanderthal effort -- he looked strange, take that... Costner !

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.

Quite a few reviewers bag this movie, I just don't know what people expect these days. I guess they expect every single movie made to be in their taste and a Billion Dollar AAA+++ movie. Anyway, as a spy movie, it is not a 10/10 but it is also a good family movie (8) above, you know your own children. Normal violence you would expect from a Spy Thriller but not as bad as the XXX movies. There is a lot of family values and struggles that many families can relate too and I believe the writers portrayed that very well. Costner's acting in this was about an 8/10 as were the others excluding his on screen daughter who I thought was superb. Costner delivers a believable performance/character, just not his best. The action is frequent enough to keep you entertained along with the Costner on Screen family and another On Screen Family who have lessons for us all. The filming and angles I thought where great and in some cases extremely difficult, although in this day and age, anything can be done on a computer.All in all this will appeal to those who like a Spy Thriller, a Family movie, bit do not expect this to be XXX or one of the latest James Bond movies. Worth watching, an 8/10 overall and I would watch it gain. I guess if they threw more millions at it, it could have been better received by some of the harsher critics on here.
