Driving by his deep will of reuniting with his family, Ethan Enner, a CIA agent, who suffers from cancer that makes his life in danger, has left his job and travels to France, where he reunites with his daughter and wife, but in doing so, incidents come to climax, when he cannot get along with his daughter.
French filmmaker Luc Besson continues to combine family themes with intense violence (see Taken), but at least this film has a wry sense of humour about it.
Every gag is premised on the fact that Renner allows his work and personal lives to overlap, though this contradicts everything we've been told about him and would obviously heighten the risk to his loved ones.
3 Days to Kill is a frequently bizarre, never boring mash-up that doesn't come together yet perfectly encapsulates everything both good and bad about Luc Besson's recent output
The movie never finds a way to blend the emotional and the rat-a-tat-tat into one seamless package the way that Besson did in his one and only good movie, The Professional.
