Memorable, crazy movie

Load of rubbish!!

Admirable film.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This movie can be compared to a bad Asian Karate movie. No plot, story just bad actions scenes where they continuously fight to the point of it being ridiculous. You can only what so much then gets boring to the point of laughable. This was obviously just a paycheck for Costner. I sure he slept though his takes. I wonder if he even watched it himself.

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.

A terminally ill former CIA agent is given one last assignment in exchange for an experimental hallucinogenic drug that may extend his life, and he struggles to reconnect with his teenage daughter with the time he has left.I know what you're thinking: this is a Nicolas Cage action movie. You're right. In Matchstick Men, Stolen, and Rage, Nicolas Cage has to bond with/rescue his teenage daughter. In Gone in Sixty Seconds, Stolen, and Rage, Nicolas Cage comes back for "just one more job". In Bringing Out the Dead, Nicolas Cage hallucinates over the course of three days. And in Dying of the Light, Nicolas Cage plays a CIA agent dying of a terminal illness.One more: In Drive Angry, Cage's costar is Amber Heard, and he has three days to "complete his mission". Kevin Costner's costar in 3 Days to Kill is Amber Heard. And as is evident by the title, he has three days to complete his assignment.So, yes, you've seen this movie before. And during every since scene, you're keenly aware that Nicky Cage could have played the Kevin Costner role. However, with the well-known plot and without Nicky Cage, this is still a very entertaining movie! Kevin Costner is very likable, and there are several hilarious scenes in which he's torturing someone or about to kill someone but is interrupted by his daughter's embarrassing "I Don't Care" ringtone and has to juggle playing Daddy and being an assassin. The action scenes are exciting and sometimes cringe-worthy (in a "She's going to get decapitated; I can't look!" way), but thankfully the movie stays away from blood and guts. It's really very good, and I recommend it for those who like a little humor in their action flicks. Amber Heard got on my nerves a little, but only because she had a major attitude problem and wore black leather corsets for absolutely no reason. But all in all, her part is small, and Kevin Costner's parental charm more than made up for it.

I found the movie multi layered and quite poignant. It was more than just a simple western one theme and tone movie and I really enjoyed how it was put together. Kevin Costner was suitably craggy. The movie didn't insult my intelligence even if it didn't quite hang together as well as it could. That flaw was a result of the choices made to tell the story the way it was told and came off in other ways. The spy sections were clever and original while the dad arc was exceptionally well done. It's interesting it rated so highly on Netflix yet so poorly here. I'm over ridiculous action movies that take themselves too seriously. This was a beautiful combination that I thoroughly enjoyed and had me guessing minute by minute where it was headed. Refreshing and interesting.
