Kicking off with a reasonably coherent hotel shootout, 3 Days to Kill follows a CIA badass (Kevin Costner) facing retirement after an ominous medical diagnosis. As he attempts to reconcile with his wife (Connie Nielsen) and daughter (Hailee Steinfeld) in Paris, a mysterious femme fatale (Amber Heard) drags him back into the spy game. Director McG keeps things together for the first act, but then succumbs to the utterly random nature of the script, as a series of wacky stereotypes and errant stabs at symbolism wander onto the screen and then refuse to leave. When a girl's first tender kiss is juxtaposed with her father wiping out a roomful of goons, any last remnants of rational thought sputter out. by Andrew Wright
