Kevin Costner is Ethan Renner, a CIA agent ready to give up his life of globe-trotting espionage to reconnect with his estranged wife (Connie Neilsen) and teenage daughter (Hailee Steinfeld). Unfortunately for his family, sexy operative Amber Heard lures Renner back in to hunt down a berserk terrorist or two before the healing can begin.
Neither director McG nor writer Luc Besson are known for their austere realism, so expect rampant witlessness among all the bone-crunching, blood-spraying action. Costner plays the whole mess remarkably straight.
