Hey readers!

I think the movie is OK and understandable. The plot is simple and the acting is strong. I will suggest this movie if you guys into thriller/mission type of movie. To be honest, I expected more from the movie because when I saw the trailer it was very challenging and dramatic. Yes it was some kind of a drama movie but it's not enough.
I think the kid performance is not outstanding and I can't see the situation of his mother doesn't impact him that much. If the plot focuses a lot more on the kid side it would be more dramatic and reliable. The film, being the intelligent thriller that it is, is entirely constructed from flash-forwards and flash-backwards, interspersed with scenes that make sure the viewers “get it.” Otherwise, the whole trip would be lost on them since it would lack the required ingredient: credibility.
The Next Three Days adalah lakonan
Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, Olivia Wilde and Brian Dennehy. This movie is carried by a powerful and determined performance from Crowe and an even better one from Elizabeth Banks. Lara (Elizabeth Banks) is accused of murdering her boss after an altercation at work. John (Russell Crowe) and Lara are a typical family living in a large, gorgeous house in Pittsburgh, with their young son Luke. Lara has a flammable temper, which is made clear from the second scene, which sees her complaining about her boss and getting into a fight with a friend over dinner. So it might make sense that her hot temper can cause a murder (though viewers will only find out the truth in the end – and quite a surprising twist it will be). The very next day, police bust into their home to arrest Lara:
her boss has been found dead in a parking lot. “The evidence is compelling,” we learn: the fingerprints on the murder weapon match, she has blood on her coat, she hated the boss, therefore had motive.



Therefore, John becomes obsessed with the idea of breaking her out of jail. Here is a man who not only believes his wife is innocent.
John decides to bust out his wife from prison, take their son and move to a remote country, where the long arm of the law won’t be able to reach them. However, halfway through the movie, he learns he actually has only 3 days to do it, before Lara is moved from county jail to state prison. Luckily, even before that, John had begun his “work,” by doing research online (on YouTube, of all places, which is precisely why his endeavor seems doomed from the start) and paying closer attention to details. He make a careful research and prepare the escape in 100% details. During their escape to Venezuela, John successfully make the police confused with their investigation by put the wrong evidence in the trash. Finally they reach Venezuela without being caught. In the end, it is shown in flashbacks that Lara was in fact innocent and the truth of her boss murderer.
“The Next Three Days” is a very smart,
high-brow thriller about a man so determined he’d make the impossible possible to save his family.It has superb performance,(but not for those who get bored too easily), and even better photography.
I comment this movie
