The Next Three Days
2010
When his wife (Elizabeth Banks) is sent to jail on murder charges she fervidly denies, college professor John Brennan (Russell Crowe) comes up with a plan to break her out by meticulously plotting the ultimate escape -- despite the fact that he's never committed a crime in his life. Writer-producer Paul Haggis (Crash) also directs this remake of the French film Pour Elle by Fred Cavayé. Liam Neeson and Brian Dennehy co-star.
Synopsis compliments of Netflix
Drama, Thriller
A suspenseful and entertaining conclusion, but the first half is angsty and chaotic without clear timelines. Elizabeth Banks makes you question at times why he would want to rescue her, but Brian Dennehy was excellent in his small role.
