3 Days to Kill (2014)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2172934/

Kevin Costner is returning all over the place these day (see also Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit) as the wise, experienced and still active CIA agent. Here, he finds himself a hit-man pushed to retire, with a terminal illness and an estranged family. Offered a life-line with a hook (by the ridiculously attired Amber Heard), he juggles the classic spy work-life balance while trying to extend his life long enough for one last Christmas. Despite several lame and corny bits of dialogue with Ms Hear, the story is interesting, and the other leads well done. Welcome back, Mr. Costner, as I believe you've found the right niche.
