Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Gordon-11 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.
areatw Ridiculous films are everywhere you look these days and '3 Days to Kill' is another one. From the first scene to the last, this film makes very little sense and is constructed in such a messy way that it only adds more confusion to an already nonsensical plot.To be fair, the actors can't be blamed for this. I thought Kevin Costner and Hailee Steinfeld delivered good performances considering the content they were working with. The plot is just too ridiculous to be taken seriously, and the weak script doesn't help either.'3 Days to Kill' is a poor action film. Even if you're patient enough to make it to the end, the illogical and unsatisfying conclusion is just as frustrating as the rest of the film.
room102 Written by Luc Besson, directed by McG ("Terminator 4"), starring Kevin Costner (yeah, apparently he's still alive) and taking place in Paris.This is a weird combination of serious action and comedy. A "James Bond"/"Mission Impossible" type of guy balancing between working for the CIA and his family. It takes a while to understand that the family thing is not just a minor back story, but actually a big part of the movie.Mostly it's entertaining, some parts are a bit boring. In any case, you'll have to suspend your disbelief and not take the movie too seriously if you want to enjoy it.Costner is actually pretty good in his role. I can't remember the last time I saw him playing in anything.
Wizard-8 Even if I didn't know before sitting down to watch this movie that Luc Besson (who wrote and produced) was involved, I certainly would have guessed that early on. That's because this movie has echoes of other Besson movies, most notably "Taken". However, what this Besson movie has that a number of his other movies doesn't have is a good helping of (light) comic relief. I will admit that I did find some of this a little amusing. As for other merit to be found in the movie, I did find the action scenes more coherent than usual for a 21st century action movie, and they did have some excitement. And Kevin Costner does a pretty good acting job, believably showing his character has various weaknesses while at the same time showing his character still has some skills. However, the movie despite all this is sunk by what I stated in the summary line - it tries to do too much. It juggles various plot threads around so much that it doesn't feel that any plot thread gets enough time or gets properly concluded. Maybe if the movie had tried to accomplish a lot less we would have had something here, but as it is, it's somewhat of a mess of a movie.
