3 Days to Kill

It's "Jack Ryan" meets "The Transporter" meets "Parenthood" when a terminally ill CIA agent (Kevin Costner) with an ex-wife (Connie Nielsen) & an estranged daughter (Hailee Steinfeld) accepts one last mission for a possible experimental cure. The premise already sounds far fetched without mentioning the squatters, the albino, the purple bicycle, drug side effects, or the mystery man only known as "The Wolf". You'll see Paris as you never have seen it before and the many faces of Amber Heard in a weird Jekyll/Hyde routine. Only Costner's charm could make his cold-blooded killer character likable in this action film with an odd sense of humor to defuse the gratuitous violence. This is pure escapism entertainment but what else would you expect from writer Luc Besson.

Alien gives it 3 "Kill or Die" stars out of 4.
