3 Days to Kill stars Kevin Costner as Ethan Renner, the CIA operative at the center of McG‟s new action, finds himself trying to save the world from Europe‟s most dangerous terrorists while trying to reconnect with his wife and daughter in Paris.
The film discovers some universal truths about family and work that takes the story beyond its spy hero premise. Ethan finds himself in over his head when he is left alone with his teenage daughter Zooey, played by Hailee Steinfeld, for 3 days. Ethan knows exactly what to do when it comes to work, but keeping his career away from his increasingly curious teenager becomes his most challenging mission yet. Like many teens, Zooey feels like Ethan is constantly choosing work over her – even when she doesn‟t know exactly what “work” is. “I think that's a theme that many people can relate to in the real world. Many of us spend too much time on things that matter less than that which matters the most to us, and that's what this film is ultimately all about,” said McG. McG sees Ethan‟s expert killing skills as counterintuitive to being a good father and it is that struggle that drives the film. Ethan doesn't know much about contemporary teenage culture like Twitter or what‟s online. He is very analog in a digital world. You have a guy that's been out in the field with a very, very strong sense of duty who has now come home to try to reconnect with his daughter, and it's emotional.
Showing on February 21 in theaters nationwide, "3 Days To Kill" is released and distributed by Captive Cinema.
