I wanted to but couldn't!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

English review Suspense thriller with emotional play: The next three days 2010You need to watch this excellent movie with stellar performances of Russel Crowe and Elizabeth Banks to see how to make a suspense thriller with a murder accused a working lady falsely sentenced and her husband a College professor evolving a detailed plan for her prison break. The movie with excellent jump editing , flashbacks with a non linear storytelling is both gripping and an emotional roller coaster showing the different hues of emotions the family of three goes through ... Superb performances, good production values and not too many action scenes and nothing overtly sexual make it worth watching with family/ friends. IMDB rates it 7.4/10. I would rate it 9/10. Well done!!

Before watching this I had a thought about it being something like State of Play (2009), in the lights of that this is a bit more dull, this is not a bad movie at all, but it shouldn't be compared or judged before it has been watched.This is a very exciting movie, I could have liked a little more action, but it's great and very clever build up. For me this is not that much of a thriller, maybe it's because I'm not totally clear on the genre Thriller, yes this was exciting at times, but not really thrilling, not scary and didn't keep me on the edge of my seat. For me this was more a drama, with some action and some excitement, and that's not a bad thing at all, it worked, I liked the movie a lot. Russell Crowe is a great actor and that he proves once again, but also the acting of all the others in the cast did a great job, there are a few Hollywood things here and there, very clever cops that almost have a hunch for knowing things they possible could not, and a few other things, but that does not fall on the actors at all.

It is well known that Russell Crowe is the reason this movie was watched. I was personally disappointed about the title: 'The Next Three Days' because it denotes something not found in the movie.Similar with 'The Day After Tomorrow', a typical person would think its a horror film about an impending doom scheduled to take place at that time.The wife knew all along that she was innocent but in an act of fury implicates herself in the murder. That's stupid. She has a son out there. Did she care about her?She never made an appeal or told her correct side if the story. I found that to be dumb. We only learn about her innocence at the end but she knew all along.It seems as if she wanted to go to prison and put her family through a great deal of pain - and for what reason??? What did she want to achieve by staying in prison for a crime she didn't even commit???What's up with that? This part of the storyline really did not work for me at all.And she tries suicide later on....oh LAWD.

A film remake of the 2008 French film "Anything for her". It's Intense, and keeps you on hook from start to finish. Not to mention the all star cast of Oscar winning performer Russell Crowe, Oscar nominee Liam Neeson, Elizabeth Banks & Olivia Wilde. When you think you have it all figured out, the movie's plot changes still grabbing your attention. Highly recommend it for all those that like a good action/thriller movie. If you're one of those people that like to put logic in a movie, than this film isn't for you as it involves many unrealistic scenes in the movie. If you liked movies like The Fugitive, Law Abiding Citizen & The Departed, this movie is for you.
