First Trailer for '3 Days to Kill' with Kevin Costner and Amber Heard

When Luc Besson doesn't have the time to fully indulge in another one of his specific brand of Euro action flicks like Taken or Colombiana, he has a large stable of interchangeable directors who can do it for him. Those guys include Olivier Megaton, Pierre Morel, and now McG has picked up the mantle for 3 Days to Kill, a movie about an aging hitman. And nope, Liam Neeson is nowhere to be found.

Instead it's Kevin Costner, Pa Kent himself, as a government wetworks agent who learns he has a terminal disease and quits the job to try and connect with his daughter, played by Hailee Steinfeld. Amber Heard is his mysterious handler  and when she makes him an offer for a life-saving cure if he completes one last dangerous mission ("one last mission" alert!!!!), he accepts and stuff gets blown up real good, along with plenty of Costner punching things.  Overall, this looks pretty generic and too much like Taken redux, but if it leads to more Costner that's not such a bad thing.

3 Days to Kill opens February 21st.
