3 Days to Kill really cares about its parental themes, with neurotic and bizarre results. Go to Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) 06/22/2014
1/5
Something very special: a Kevin Costner vehicle that makes both The Postman and Waterworld seem fearsomely substantial. Go to Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) 06/20/2014

The director McG seems uncertain whether he should concentrate on the action or the family drama. Go to Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 08/25/2022
2.5/5

That the CIA has a quick-acting cure for cancer is only the fifth or sixth most implausible thing in this movie. Go to Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 02/01/2021
3/5

Adi B @RT20397571 Jun 25 Great entertaining movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously and have many bizarre humor moments during packed action scenes. See more Richard F. @rollex Apr 1 Good action and touching family drama See more David @DavNan Sep 25 Sometimes you know in the first 60 seconds how bad a movie is going to be. Powered through this until the end but it never got any better. See more thiago s @Thiagostone 07/15/2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Giovana L @Giovana183 06/29/2025 O filme é mediano e totalmente esquecível. See more Amy M @RT77532373 04/03/2025 This movie is great. It definitely kept me entertained and I couldn't stop watching it. See more Read all reviews
