Storyline
A dangerous international spy 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.
It is a lot like " True Lies" in that a lot of the movie is played for
laughs. Amber Heard fits her role very well. Kevin Costner is great as
a man who has spent too much time on work and not enough time on his
personal life. That is something most of us can relate too. I see
people complain about the subplots but they are what make the movie
fun. The character actors are great. Not a miss among them. The chase
scenes are good with out going over the top. There were only a couple
of times where the movie goes to big explosive special effects that
take away from the story. The Daughter, played by Hailee Steinfeld, is
excellent. Haiee played Mattie Ross in "True Grit". It will be a great
loss to the screen if she goes into directing like she wants.
