3 Days To Kill

— “3 Days to Kill” (DVD) was vaguely worthwhile, but it seemed to work a little too hard at keeping a broad audience, sprinkling an action thriller plot with too many tender moments as a dying CIA agent tries to reunite with his wife and daughter. Luckily, Kevin Costner can still pull off moments requiring vulnerability, wit, machismo, seduction, or humor, but there’s just not much for him work with. The director, McG (yes, that really is the name on the credits), has directed for television, but that has clearly not prepared him for the task of directing a feature film unless it’s destined to quickly be picked up by TNT or USA. Be glad you didn't pay to see this in theaters because it's really mediocre.
