3 Days to Kill (2014) is a high-octane action thriller that blends espionage, intense combat, and heartfelt family drama. Directed by McG and starring Kevin Costner, the film follows Ethan Renner, a seasoned CIA operative who is forced to confront both his deadly past and his fractured personal life.

The story begins with Ethan on the brink of retirement after years of covert missions. Diagnosed with a terminal illness, he decides to spend his remaining time reconnecting with his estranged teenage daughter, Zoey, in Paris. However, his past refuses to let him go. The CIA offers him an experimental drug that could extend his life—but there’s a catch. In exchange, Ethan must take on one last mission: hunting down a dangerous international terrorist known as “The Wolf.”

The teaser-like sequences of the film showcase Ethan juggling intense action sequences—high-speed chases, brutal hand-to-hand combat, and high-stakes shootouts—while also trying to bond with Zoey, who barely knows the man behind the spy. Balancing deadly assignments with parenting struggles leads to unexpected humor and touching moments.

As the mission spirals into chaos, Ethan must decide what truly matters: finishing his job or being there for his daughter. With stylish action, gripping tension, and a surprising emotional core, 3 Days to Kill delivers an adrenaline-fueled yet heartfelt ride that explores the cost of redemption and the power of second chances.
