Not what I expected from the trailers...

This movie's about a badass CIA agent (Kevin Costner) diagnosed with cancer after he lets some terrorists slip through fingers, and he's told he has a few months to live at most. For years he was doing spy work and because of which, he had missed out on the majority of his daughter's life... He feels he would at least like to spend some time with his family being passing. First thing he finds are these African squatters living in his old apartment in France, he tries to kick them out but French police says he can't with winter coming on.  It's hard not to laugh at how un-serious this movie is and laugh at Kevin Costner's fumblings throughout the film.

Anyways, he's making an effort and trying (poorly) to be a dad again when this ice queen from the CIA tells him to continue hunting the terrorists that escaped, she promises it's not much work and only a few targets but within minutes he kills a room full of bad guys and argues with the CIA bitch the difference between a goatee and a mustache. The reason he keeps letting this chick boss him around is she has an experimental cure that could mean more time with his family.

"I don't do this: I spend a few months with the fam. If I do do this: I can live for years... But still only a little time with the fam seeing how this bitch keeps pushing me around... Hmmm..."
-Kevin Costner

Relations start to improve between Costner and his daughter and she installs a custom ringtone to his phone... So everytime he's on a mission and gets a call from her you hear this super girly song that goes, "I DON'T care, I love it!" Bad guys laugh but Costner plays it cool and downplays the whole sent to kill those douchebags thing. He even talks to terrorists he's interrogating to get advice on being a father and he even befriends one of his targets (somewhat... Maybe it's more like he respects the guy for being there for his family where Kevin Costner couldn't be and his family relations went down the toilet).

There's some serious scenes in this movie involving Cosstner trying to be the protective father tracking his daughter to a rave and saves her from being raped... Totally awesome hero scene bashing those lowlifes into the bathroom mirrors, by the way. So no, it's not one of those SERIOUS action films like Taken where it's just a bunch of, "Look at the bad shit people do! This guy takes forever to save this person!" It's more humorous in a Lethal Weapon 4 kinda way, although this movie totally stands out on it's own.

"God, I hate this song..."

"Don't touch the radio, my daughter turned me on to this. It's catchy after you hear it on your phone a couple dozen times."
-Badass Papa Costner

In the end, he tells off the ice queen and her overly pushy sexual advances explaining his family's more important to him than doing this work for the CIA. Definitely not the greatest movie in the world but it's got some good points and it's enjoyable. I give it 3 out of 5 week days to kill.
