3 DAYS TO KILL finds sickly super-spy
Ethan Renner (Kevin Costner) trying to reconnect with his family after a
botched mission lands him in the hospital—and at death’s door. Eager to make up for his time away from home,
the CIA “jobber” awkwardly adjusts to placating real people with real emotions
instead of shooting them between the eyes.
Directed by action ace McG
(CHARLIE’S ANGELS, TERMINATOR SALVATION) and produced by Luc Besson (TAKEN, LEON: THE
PROFESSIONAL), the film endeavors to transform Costner the same way UNKNOWN and
TAKEN remade Liam Neeson: It gives an
acclaimed-but-mature marquee star prolonged shelf life as a born-again badass
hero.
