Review of 3 Days to Kill (2014) by Liz C — 01 Sep 2014
This is another one of the many Jack Ryan movies, a running character created by writer Tom Clancy. Harrison Ford and Chris Pine have played this character in other movies like Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger and Shadow Recruit.
Although not a bad movie, this is probably one of the least impressive Jack Ryan movies I've seen. Kevin Costner plays Ryan and he is dying. Anther CIA agent has a drug that may help him, but she needs him to do a job for her requiring him to kill many people, which he seems to have no problem with.
For an old man dying of cancer, he's pretty tough, almost too tough. Because he is dying, in the mean time he is trying to re-connect with his ex-wife and daughter. So he is having to juggle this assignment and spending time with his family without them knowing he is still working.
He told them he was quitting because he's sick. As I said, it wasn't a bad movie, but there was nothing that stuck out in it. It's just kind of a throw away movie, sort of typical for the genre.
It was kind of a blah script. It's probably much more exciting in book form. You will probably enjoy it, but then forget about it within a day, or maybe three days.
