3 Days To Kill (2014)



Costner 'goes' all Liam Neeson, old guy kicking ass in this Luc Besson penned bollocks. Costner is an international spy/hitman, who wants to retire to spend time with his estranged Wife and young daughter but he is dragged back into the industry on the promise of a life changing wonder drug.

The movies one redeeming asset.
The action when it happens is thick and fast, bloody with plenty of cartoon violence, but the film is dragged down by nauseating sentiment, Costner teaching his Kid to ride a bike, fly a kite whatever. The movie is set in France and director, the idiotic Mcg, hammers this home by showing  backdrops of the Eiffel Tower.....every 5 minutes during the movie. Amber Heard is purely in it for eye candy, each new more revealing  outfit complemented by more red lipstick, McG even throws in some misogyny with a P.O.V shot almost up Ms Heards leather dress!!!

Loud, brash, dopey nonsense.
