3 Days to Kill follows the story of a spy named Ethan Renner (Costner), who is facing a terminal disease.

JoBlo interviewed Heard about 3 Days to Kill and what it was like to work with Costner. The interviewer stated that the actor is a legend and asked about what it was like for the two actors to connect on the set. He specifically complemented their chemistry on the silver screen.
“Thank you,” Heard responded. “You know, what I think was great about working with him is just that he’s incredibly sensitive and aware. He’s an easy actor to work with, but what I really liked about him is he’s also a filmmaker. So, he brings something to work that’s not the average. It’s not what the average actor brings. It’s a little bit more and I liked that. He’s on and off-screen a wonderful, wonderful man.”
JoBlo explained that 3 Days to Kill star Costner has a down-to-Earth quality and Heard absolutely agreed. However, she also connected that to his ability to put that energy into his character.
“Yeah, he’s just like a good old boy in many ways,” Heard said. “That serves our story well because his character is this alienated presence and feels out of place in Paris and just really who he is.”
The movie didn’t test well with critics or audiences
Critics and audiences didn’t quite manage to connect with Costner and Heard in 3 Days to Kill. The film earned a low 28% approval rating on the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer and 43% from audiences. However, they don’t fail to provide reasoning. The critics’ consensus calls the family conflict “underdeveloped” in a way that doesn’t quite fit in with the technical accomplishments of the action sequences.
Nevertheless, 3 Days to Kill actor Costner remains a household name, and Heard moved on to star in Aquaman. She worked with other big names, including Johnny Depp, Jason Momoa, Eddie Redmayne, and Nicolas Cage.
