Additional InformationHis wife convicted of a murder she swears she did not commit, a college professor plots to break her out of prison in this thriller starring Russell Crowe and Liam Neeson. John Brennan (Crowe) and his wife, Lara (Elizabeth Banks), were happily married and raising a family when their lives fell apart in the blink of an eye. Lara has been charged with murder, and despite every effort to prove her innocence, the judge sentences her to an extended prison sentence. Meanwhile, on the outside, John files multiple appeals while struggling to raise their children and maintain his career. Lara's future starts to look especially grim, however, after the final appeal is rejected, and she admits that she'd rather commit suicide than spend the rest of her life behind bars. Determined to save his wife after the justice system fails her, John seeks the advice of ex-convict Damon Pennington (Liam Neeson), who staged his own daring prison escape, in order to draw up an airtight plan. Later, John prepares to put his life on the line for the woman he loves, and sets the plan into motion with the knowledge that one false move could be their last. Neeson heads up the supporting cast, which includes Brian Dennehy, Olivia Wilde, and RZA. THE NEXT THREE DAYS is a remake of the 2008 French film, ANYTHING FOR HER.
ReviewsEmpire - Paul Haggis' remake of a taut French thriller (2007Æs Anything For Her) is along the lines of Prison Break minus tattoos, Time Out - But in the third act, both Haggis and his actors kick it into high gear, leading to a breathless chase sequence, the outcome of which is unpredictable to the last moments, Metro - Hurrah! A proper tense, heart-pounding thriller that has your buttocks gripping the edge of your seat as though it were about to crumble beneath you
