Movie Review: 3 Days to Kill - PG13

When CIA Agent Ethan Run finds out that he has a terminal disease,  he decides to reconnect with  his estranged wife and daughter, who he had left in order  to keep his work away from them.  But his work has a way of finding him, when he is offered a potentially life-saving drug in exchange for tracking down and killing the world's most dangerous terrorist, the Wolf.  To add to his problems, he finds a family occupying his apartment, which turns out to be entertaining.

After his wife leaves town for a few days, there is a bit of a humorous aspect to the story, as Ethan struggles to watch his teenage daughter while pursing the Wolf, without her knowing his real 'work'.

The interaction between Ethan and his daughter adds a lot to the story.

The  plot is well-written and the action is good, but watching Ethan struggle against his illness does get tiresome: it only serves to drag out certain scenes to the point of frustration.  It takes away from the story rather than adding to it.  I am a big fan of Kevin Costner, and I am used to him playing strong characters,  but that is not how he portrays Ethan.


An average action movie, but disappointing for a Kevin Costner movie.
