John & Becky’s Movie Review Of 3 Days To Kill

3daystokillBecky and I went to see 3 Days To Kill at the AMC Theaters in Castle Rock, CO yesterday. The Fandango website at 3 Days To Kill describes the movie as follows…

“In this heart pounding action-thriller, Kevin Costner is a dangerous international spy, who is determined to give up his high stakes life to finally build a closer relationship with his estranged wife and daughter, whom he’s previously kept at arm’s length to keep out of danger. But first, he must complete one last mission- even if it means juggling the two toughest assignments yet: hunting down the world’s most ruthless terrorist and looking after his teenage daughter for the first time in ten years, while his wife is out of town.

The Review: Becky and I thought this would be a cool flick with Kevin Costner.  Well, this movie was terrible.  Kevin Costner looked old and coughed almost the entire movie, since his character is dying from cancer.  Keep in mind, that he’s a contract killer for the CIA and he’s dying, but still has this incredible skill set.  It was totally unrealistic.  The acting was good, but the Directing was terrible.

In fact, the Directing of the film was so bad it was hard to believe how bad it was.  It was filmed in France, but sometimes the drove on the wrong side of the road.  They had full sentences where Kevin Costner’s lips were not moving.  They had cars pushed off bridges and people walk away from the car and the airbags didn’t deploy.  The list goes on and on of how poorly put together this film was.  Unfortunately, Kevin Costner couldn’t save it.

The other thing that made know sense was this hot young girl was his boss in the CIA and she looked like she maybe just graduated college.  There isn’t anyway the CIA would put someone who just started in charge of the CIA and work directly for the Director of the CIA.  The whole movie was nonsense.  The story was bad and they couldn’t decide if it was a comedy, a drama or an action film.  This was a waste of time and Conroy went and saw it with some friends and he thought the same thing.  We have to rate it as a Rental or a Don’t Bother.

John & Becky’s Movie Review Of Monuments Men

MonumentsMenBecky and I went to see Monuments at the AMC Theaters in Highlands Ranch, CO a few weeks back. The Fandango website at Monuments Men describes the movie as follows…

“Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action drama focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys – seven museum directors, curators, and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 – possibly hope to succeed?…

The Review: Becky and I were both looking forward to seeing this movie.  It is based on a true story that takes place during World War II with Nazi Germany setting out to destroy everything related to Jewish culture.  The Americans decide that the artwork needs to be saved and they send in a group of men to get it done, who are known as The Monuments Men.  They go into the War Zone and put their lives in grave danger trying to save artwork.  It is a controversial mission that they are asked to do.

The movie is not fast paced and it moves very slow.  Becky didn’t like it very much because she’s not a big fan of historical movies, but the fact that it moved so slow wasn’t helpful.  The acting was good and the story was interesting, but it was really a pretty boring movie.  It was an all star cast that kind of went nowhere.

I like history and found the film rather interesting, but it was still too slow for me.  I liked it, but I expected it to be much better and I think it’s one of those films that will appeal to a very small audience.  It could have been done much better and should have been so much more relevant had they tied it to the impact that the art has made on the world today, instead of just showing what happened.

Becky was definitely a Don’t Bother on this film and I gave it a Rental because I don’t think that most people will want to sit through it.
