Do you want to see Kevin Costner as a young-ish version of Clint Eastwood? Look no further and check 3 Days to Kill, a EuropaCorp production movie written by Luc Besson and directed by McG. The synopsis is one big cliché (via IMDb):
A dangerous international spy (Costner) 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.
3 Days to Kill is a mindless action movie set in Paris with some almost-funny sequences and shallow one-liners. You should watch it if you have 2 hours to spare or if you’re on a long flight.
When it comes to product placement the movie is average as well, although it has some interesting points.
Peugeot
Peugeot is THE brand of the movie. We could see Costner’s colleague (Amber Heard) driving wildly on the streets of Paris in her sporty Peugeot RCZ.
During an intense pursuit in the middle of Paris Costner drives Peugeot 208 GTi.
But that’s not everything. Costner bought his daughter a Peugeot LC 11 bicycle. Peugeot stated that it was a “personalised and painted violet to suit the needs of the film, with three examples made in different sizes.”
Sunglasses
Throughout the movie Costner was wearing a sunglasses frame called The Doyle by Original Penguin.
Herschel backpack
Costner’s daughter had a nice red Herschel backpack.
Samsung smartphone
Cars
While Costner drove Peugeots, we saw the bad guys in Jaguar, Range Rover, Mercedes and in Audi.

All-in-all 3 Days to Kill is a forgettable movie and to quote Slant Magazine it leaves the impression that the script went into production after its first draft.

I never noticed how extensive the product placement was in 3 Days to Kill until you pointed it out. It’s actually pretty impressive how seamlessly they incorporated all those brands into the storyline. I’m definitely going to be more aware of it in future movies now!
