The Next Three Days (2010)

To what extremes would you go to exonerate and then liberate a loved one you believed was falsely incarcerated for murder? Would you become obsessed or would you be able to let it go and move on with your life? What if you were faced with a choice of choosing a child over a spouse? Could you keep your wits about you? This is what faces the main character here, played craftily by Russell Crowe. His wife, played by Elizabeth Banks is sent to prison. There is also a very smart cameo by Liam Neeson in an unusual role for him. With a few minor plot gaps, this story moves quite fast. Pay attention and try not to get hung up on the factual and continuity problems. There are several. Watch this movie with someone you care about and ask them to what lengths they would expect you to go in similar circumstances.
