Kevin Costner an action hero?

...I recently saw the previews to his new film "3 Days to Kill" which comes out this Friday - playing of course, the best secret agent ever who must come out of retirement.

It looks like it may be a comedy because he isn't Daniel Craig, Liam Neeson or Matt Damon.

Just pair him with good director.

As far as Costner - never been a fan of his, but not revolted by him either, he wasn't too irritating in No Way Out, so I don't see any reason why it would not necessarily work.

  Kev the serial killler! What's not to like....except for keeping it in the family.
- "not revolted by him either" LOL! - PhilJ 14:11:31 01/28/14 (0)
  I pretty much feel the same
- RE: No Way Out - good call! - David S. 08:07:29 01/28/14 (0)
  Actually thought he did a pretty decent job in that one. Kinda liked him in "A Perfect World" as well.
I'll see your Costner and raise raise you Neeson..... - Billy Wonka 20:47:24 01/26/14 (6)
Kev is no sillier Liam plus Costner just warmed up in the recent Clancey film. He's going to be the geriatic Damon.
- C'mon, he showed his immense acting and action skills in the classic, "Waterworld." One for the - tinear 18:12:22 01/27/14 (2)

  The very, very Dark ones...
  - Waterworld, Postman - Kevin owned dystopic-post-apocalyptic marathon-length flicks back in the day. - Enophile 10:55:04 01/28/14 (1)
    Too bad he never got to make the final movie in the trilogy - The Dirigible; about a post-apocalyptic zeppelin pilot roaming the world looking for Cormac McCarty's characters from "The Road" so he could tell them their names.
    
    He would have scored the post-apocalyptic trifecta - land, sea, and air.
    
    Perhaps time for a Costner driven remake of Silent Running?

  ...Neeson was good in Batman Begins and Taken.
  
  Not so much in Taken 2.
  
  I think he has a new one coming out.
  
  Costner just seems to have a permanent smirk on his face.

    Never been a Costner fan. He is just too plain and deadpan. He must strike a chord in some (women?) people but why? Neeson was great in the wolf movie but I cannot see him as a regular action character. He is old!
    - Neeson is old? - mkuller 12:45:40 01/27/14 (0)
      ...maybe that's why I like him.
      
      Remember Rutger Hauer in Blind Fury?
      
      Old guys rule!
