The Next Three Days

The story revolves around how far a Loving husband was willing to go in order to keep his family together as he was pushed to break his wife out of jail for a crime he believes she did not commit without any questions nor doubt.

The movie starts off slow and stays that way throughout for most part of the film. It take its time to built the case about how the wife was incarcerated and the pains the husband went through to proof her innocence legally. Driven to desperation and off the edge, he starts thinking outside the box and devises a clever plot for her rescue.

The pace between the last 30 minutes and the rest of the movie is very contrastic. Once set in motion, the film steamrolls until the end keeping audiences clinging on to their seats.

Even with the excellent acting of Russell Crowe. The film felt slightly sluggish but he definitely made all the difference to the story telling.

We sometimes sit through a crappy movie waiting for either the climax or some kind of saving grace. Even if there really are such moments, they rarely occur timely enough to save the show as a whole. However, thanks to the final leg of this movie which is reason enough to have made the audiences sat through the film without the feeling of being short changed.
