Nothing warms my heart more than a father-daughter film – unless it’s a father-daughter film with kick-ass action; which\u00a0 means, 3 DAYS TO KILL is killer! Exhilarating!\u00a0 High energy! High Heart! High Humor!\u00a0 As the second of five films starring Costner to hit theatres this year, 3 DAYS TO KILL finds the perfect blend of Costner\u2019s \u201ceveryman\u201d sensibility, old school practicality and matter-of-fact humor with the high octane storytelling of director McG based on a script by Luc Besson and Hasak.\u00a0 Not just a string of action upon action sequences, 3 DAYS TO KILL has a solid foundation in its story, creating an emotional connection and dynamic upon which humor and action flow, thanks not only to Costner\u2019s performance, but that of Hailee Steinfeld who is the embodiment of generations of teen-aged girls caught between growing up, being \u201cdaddy\u2019s little girl\u201d and pushing the envelope of\u00a0 \u201cwhat can I get away that dad won\u2019t know about.\u201d<\/p>\n

CIA operative Ethan Renner is at the end of a long road.\u00a0 One of the most successful and effective weapons in the CIA arsenal, Renner is dying.\u00a0 Diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer that has spread to his lungs, his days are numbered and his career over.\u00a0 His one regret though? Being a better agent than he was a father and husband.\u00a0 With little time left, Ethan heads to Paris to reconnect with his now teen-aged daughter Zooey only to find her unforgiving when it comes to her absentee father.\u00a0\u00a0 Keeping Zooey at arms length her entire life as a means to keep her safe and unaware of her father\u2019s dangerous career, Zooey\u2019s wall of resistance is virtually impenetrable and breaking through it proves to be more difficult than Ethan\u2019s toughest mission.\u00a0 Undeterred, Ethan resolves to connect with his daughter and views a three day \u201cbabysitting\u201d while ex-wife Christine is out of town for work as the perfect opportunity to prove himself.\u00a0 After all, how hard can parenting be when compared to saving the world on a daily basis from international terrorists?\u00a0 But there\u2019s a wrinkle.\u00a0 Vivi.<\/p>\n

\"3<\/p>\n

Vivi is upper echelon CIA and Ethan\u2019s former boss, yet, she also makes her own rules and plays her own game; and the latest game involves an international terrorist named \u201cThe Wolf\u201d who needs to be taken out before taking down the world with a geopolitical domino effect.\u00a0 Although Ethan is officially retired, and has promised Christine he\u2019s done with \u201cthe life\u201d, he\u2019s the only man with the cunning and skill set to handle the job.\u00a0 Despite initially refusing Vivi\u2019s \u201crequest\u201d for Ethan\u2019s help, she holds one card that might sway him, a card that he can\u2019t ignore – access to an experimental treatment that may delay his death or cure him completely, giving him the time and second chance he so desperately wants with Zooey. Of course, the mission is set to go down over the same three day weekend Ethan is taking care of Zooey.\u00a0 For a man who has never been a practicing parent, let alone balancing work and parenting, this weekend juggling both without one interfering with the other could be the death of him.<\/p>\n

Kevin Costner has never been better.\u00a0 He is truly at the top of his game.\u00a0 He may worry about the body getting older, a little stiffer, but his acting is pure, rich.\u00a0 He is the master of deadpan self-deprecation of retort that zings you every time thanks to a look, a glance, a hanging of the head.\u00a0 On the whole, his performance both in the recent Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit<\/em>\u00a0 and now 3 DAYS TO KILL bodes a maturity and comfort that still carries the glint of boyish exuberance we saw in Bull Durham<\/em> or Swing Vote<\/em>, while capturing the deliberateness and purpose of life that he brought to Dances With Wolves<\/em>, Open Range<\/em> or Mr. Brooks<\/em>. With 3 DAYS TO KILL, together Costner and McG have taken Costner, and by extension the film as a whole, to a new level of excellence.\u00a0 Each upped the other’s game and I absolutely love it.\u00a0 In speaking with director McG, he was quick to point out that this is \u201cthe best version of Kevin Costner where he can have all that emotion, all that credibility, that special brand of humor that he brings and to have that dimensionalized performance that is decidedly his own.\u00a0 That\u2019s what this movie\u2019s all about.\u00a0 That\u2019s the reason for [it] being.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"3<\/p>\n

One of the keys to Costner\u2019s performance is that \u201cthis is a Kevin Costner film\u201d and as Costner has always done, he is integrally involved, be it from arriving on Day One of shooting knowing the entire script off book to doing as many of his own stunt work as possible, and with 3 DAYS TO KILL, that\u2019s a lot of practical physicality from man-on-man fighting to choreographed driving.\u00a0 But for a couple of stunts deemed to risky (including a car chase over the Seine in which Costner could have gone off the bridge and into the river), Kevin Costner is who we see.<\/p>\n

An important part of the equation that elevates 3 DAYS TO KILL is Hailee Steinfeld.\u00a0 She is absolute perfection as Zooey and soars in her father-daughter dynamic with Costner.\u00a0\u00a0 Steinfeld brings her own brand of teen-aged precociousness to Zooey that is both endearing and frustrating (as all teens are) but what sets this performance apart is the growth of the relationship with Ethan.\u00a0 Costner and Steinfeld feed off each other with heartfelt, believable emotion, resonating as true to life and not fabricated for story purposes.\u00a0 Watching the father-daughter relationship grow is priceless.\u00a0 This film could have opened the film on Valentine’s Day just based on that!<\/p>\n

\"3<\/p>\n

Amber Heard just commands the screen every time she appears.\u00a0 As Vivi, she is vital, vivid and vivacious in attitude and appearance.\u00a0 She too, has a wonderful icy tete-a-tete playfulness to Costner\u2019s Ethan that sizzles as well as drips comedic perfection.\u00a0 As ex-wife Christine, Connie Nielsen brings a level of well-worn comfortableness and ease that is a welcome soothing balance to the father-daughter frustration and saving-the-world action and antics.\u00a0 She and Costner blend like cream in coffee.<\/p>\n

Supporting players knock it out of the park, starting with Tomas Lemarquis whom I first noticed in \u201cErrors of the Human Body\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 Lemarquis oozes \u201ccreepy\u201d from every slick shaven pour of his body.\u00a0 As The Albino, one look and you feel the eyes of a cold blooded killer – which with his tailored impeccable\u00a0 Italian suits – is perfection and sets the visual tone for a showdown with the blue jean, work boot clad, messy Ethan.\u00a0 (Notable is that the subtext created by visuals in 3 DAYS TO KILL is some of the best I’ve seen in awhile.)\u00a0 Marc Andreoni is a hoot and a holler as Mitat, a limousine driver who starts out providing information on The Albino and his boss, kingpin terrorist The Wolf, but then becomes the \u201cfather knows best\u201d encyclopedia for Ethan with every crisis he\u2019s encountering with Zooey.\u00a0 Andreoni has you in stitches with every word, every movement, capitalizing on physical nuance within the subplot of Mitat being kept alive to keep giving parenting advice.\u00a0 The absurdity actually makes sense and is fuel for comedic fodder.<\/p>\n

Joining in the familial and comedic tone of the film is Bruno Ricci as The Wolf\u2019s moneyman Guido.\u00a0 Garnering some of the biggest laughs in the film, Ricci steals a scene from Costner while duct-taped on a toilet in a public bathroom, giving spaghetti sauce recipes to Steinfeld\u2019s Zooey over the phone.<\/p>\n

\"3<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just Costner\u2019s dynamic and the character structure with adults that makes 3 DAYS TO KILL work, it\u2019s the familial structure and the kids within various families that help create the character growth of Ethan, starting with a family of squatters in Ethan\u2019s apartment.\u00a0 Head of the family Jules, played with pride and eloquence by Eriq Ebouaney, and Jules\u2019 little boy and daughter giving birth to the first grandson, are just more familial prongs that buttress the heart of the film.\u00a0 And I have to say, Costner and kids is a wonderful site to behold, eliciting frustration, warmth and heart.<\/p>\n

Described by Costner as \u201ca very scripted film\u201d written by Luc Besson and Adi Hasak, characters are well developed and fleshed out with interconnections solid and complete.\u00a0 The main storylines of fatherhood\/parenting\/family and espionage\/terrorist manhunt not only run concurrent, but are interdependent on one another, with each threaded to the other for a tightly woven structure.\u00a0 The family element plays so strongly thanks to the character of Mitat and his daughters, Jules and his family, as well as Guido and his mama’s spaghetti sauce that they not only buttress the Ethan-Zooey thread, but serve as various examples of family.\u00a0 Thanks to strong story construct, it’s each of these intersecting sub-plots that help create and develop Ethan.\u00a0 Nice craftsmanship of story not only in the Besson\/Hasak script, but in McG’s visual execution in finding and maintaining the film’s tonal bandwidth.\u00a0 Even the seemingly most minute character is important to not only the structure of Ethan’s life, but also to the humor of life.\u00a0 A particularly funny scene involves a kid on a bus reading a comic book, absolutely gleeful watching Ethan on a bicycle wearing a gas mask while his mother was trying to shush him oblivious to what was happening outside the bus window, is so telling as to the parental theme of the film.\u00a0 One of the only unresolved story points is that of Zooey\u2019s boyfriend and a climactically explosive party scene.<\/p>\n

\"3<\/p>\n

Besson and Hasak play on life\u2019s touchstones to not only tacitly show the absence of Ethan in Zooey\u2019s life, but the sentimentality of moments we take for granted – like a dad teaching his daughter or son to ride a bike, calming fatherly words when a daughter\u2019s whole life is crashing because of a bad hair day, and of course, dad always finding the time to take a call from his child while he\u2019s working.\u00a0 Of course, Ethan is doing all of this while killing bad guys which gives rise to the innate humor of life.<\/p>\n

According to McG \u201cthe action is decorative.\u00a0 It\u2019s ultimately a character driven piece.\u00a0 We\u2019re hoping that the defining characteristic of this film is the balance of, certainly action and comedy, but most particularly a dramatic investment in this Ethan character.\u201d\u00a0 Bearing that in mind, the action and stunt work is magnificent and the fact that McG opted to do them in-camera and practically as opposed to CGI\/VFX is more than worthy of applause.\u00a0 Exciting is that McG was shooting in Paris for the first time, with new stunt people untested to him prior, and working on different street types (notice that cobblestone in one of the big chase sequences) than that in the US, and pulling off some amazing action.\u00a0 So taut and well executed, at first blush I thought that McG had reteamed with stunt coordinator Mic Rodgers or gone with veteran Charlie Picerni, especially with the car chases as Picerni virtually wrote the book on those decades ago.\u00a0 I was amazed to see a completely new set of Paris based stuntmen!\u00a0 Man-on-man fight sequences are also well executed and are a nice blend of old school punching and straight on shooting by Ethan with the bad guys trying to add in some more current martial arts type moves.<\/p>\n

\"3<\/p>\n

Paris is its own character.\u00a0 There is a richness and warmth in the architecture, the layout of streets, closeness of shops, the cobblestone on some of the streets – like that of days gone by, days when family was first.\u00a0 It’s an interesting juxtaposition with old school analog Ethan who left his family only to rediscover them in Paris.\u00a0 The images create a palpable sensory feel that is embraceable, but then contrasted with the chrome and glass world of Vivi, The Albino and The Wolf.\u00a0 Production design by Jeremy Cassels and Sebastian Inizen is exemplary with Christine’s apartment and particularly Ethan’s – chipped peeling aged paint, hidden safe with guns and ammo and tools of the spy trade, low light creating metaphoric shadows for Ethan’s life.<\/p>\n

As comes as no surprise, cinematographer Thierry Arbogast, one of my faves, uses light and lens to create warmth and intimacy while widening out to give us Ethan’s perspective of the world only to incrementally come in tighter as the story progresses and Ethan becomes more focused on Zooey.\u00a0 Arbogast also creates some lovely eye-popping imagery in Vivi’s club “training sequence”, the rave party, the underground Spider club (gorgeously designed and lensed) as well as at the rooftop party thrown by boyfriend Hugh’s parents.<\/p>\n

\"3<\/p>\n

Be it three days to kill with his daughter or three days to kill bodies, the double entendre is more than satisfied on multiple levels.\u00a0 Killing time with Zooey, killing bodies and even wanting to kill himself with the frustration of fatherhood,\u00a0 the tongue in cheek title speaks well of the blend of action, warmth and the inherent humor of parenting and family life and finding that balance with work.<\/p>\n

A tapestry of life, love and fatherhood, with 3 DAYS TO KILL, McG truly establishes himself as a director who can tell a story that\u2019s \u201cdimensionalized filmmaking where it\u2019s dramatic, it\u2019s funny, it\u2019s action packed and it\u2019s clicking on all cylinders.\u201d<\/p>\n
