122 min, crime, drama, romance

Director: Paul Haggis
Writers: Paul Haggis, Fred Cavaye

Storyline:
Lara Brennan is arrested for murdering her boss with whom she had an argument. It seems she was seen leaving the scene of the crime and her fingerprints were on the murder weapon. Her husband, John would spend the next few years trying to get her released, but there's no evidence that negates the evidence against her. And when the strain of being separated from her family, especially her son, gets to her, John decides to break her out. So he does a lot of research to find a way.

Review:
I'm not a big fan of Russel Crowe but I must say he is absolutely perfect in "The Next Three Days". His performance of a desperate man who is ready to do anything  (even kill) to save his wife and keep his family together is amazing. Watching the film you could fell the pain he is going through. Even I found the movie to be a bit slow at the beginning it still keeps you wondering which way will the story go and how will it all end. The most thrilling part of the film is the part when he frees his wife out of jail. The race against time, the problems they encounter, the brilliant solutions during they escape make's you wish it could last a bit longer. A really good movie you should watch.

Rating: 7/10                                            Buy DVD on Amazon:  The Next Three Days
