A dangerous international spy is determined to give up his high stakes life to finally build a closer relationship with his estranged wife and daughter. But first, he must complete one last mission - even if it means juggling the two toughest assignments yet: hunting down the world's most ruthless terrorist and looking after his teenage daughter for the first time in ten years, while his wife is out of town.
McG may strip down his approach and serve up a variety of slick, well-paced shoot-outs and car chases, but his technical skill can't quite overcome the story's lazy sense of humor and incomprehensible account of international espionage.
Arizona Republic by Bill Goodykoontz
Although it’s not impossible to mix humor and violence, as “Midnight Run” proves, it isn’t easy — as 3 Days to Kill proves. Points for effort all the way around, and welcome back, Costner. Let’s hope things get better from here.
3 Days to Kill might not be art, but it's better than most of the overtly violent action fare that litters the multiplexes these days, thanks largely to the fact that its heart is almost as big as its explosions.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
It’s all absurd in a way that is typical Besson. But it’s also undeniably entertaining, and it marks a relatively pain-free way to kill, if not three days, at least a couple of hours.
The lukewarm family dynamics sit awkwardly alongside equally underwhelming action sequences.
New York Daily News by Joe Neumaier
It only comes alive when the star briefly shows the casual looseness that once was his calling card.
Besson provided the story and co-wrote the screenplay for a film directed by McG, who does his usual McGhastly job with action and is McGruesome when it comes to comedy.
Washington Post by Michael O'Sullivan
3 Days to Kill feels like two very different movies, neither of which is particularly good.
McClatchy-Tribune News Service by Roger Moore
Daft and sloppy as it is, 3 Days rarely fails to entertain.
3 Days to Kill is pretty terrible, but it’s not really Kevin Costner’s fault.
Archaeologist Sigurd Svendsen's crew heads into "No Man's Land" to find treasure and explore the mystery of the ancient vikings.
Every man has a destiny.
