3 Days to Kill
3 Days to Kill is a Luc Besson production. That means lots of action and style. It's directed by McG and that means lots of action and more than a little bit of cheesiness.
Other Luc Besson productions include Taken and The Fifth Element. Other McG directed films include both Charlie's Angels movies. Put it together and what do you get? 3 Days to Kill.
Critics don't seem to like it, and McG's record is spotty, but it could go either way I think.
Pompeii
Well, we all know the ending to this one already, don't we? I'm not sure, but I imagine the target audience here is people who were disappointed with the visual effects in a Nova episode about Pompeii. Because, let's be honest, a third of the people who see this will be there just to see the action scene we all know is going to happen.
From director Paul W.S. Anderson, known for such intelligent, cerebral action movies as Alien vs Predator and three of the five Resident Evil movies (I'm not kidding), and a writing team responsible for such groundbreaking movies as Batman Forever and some other stuff nobody has ever heard of comes POMPEII.
Sounds brilliant, doesn't it?
The one. The only. Big Shot Critic
