Academy Award Winner, Russell Crowe was SUPERB in this movie! AWESOME story and I BELIEVED that it could happen. The writers were careful to include flaws, human flaws and error, especially when developing Russell Crowe's character as an average, law abiding citizen, setting out to perform a criminal act. Can we say DOOFUS, but, his love for his wife, whom he never even questioned, withstood the test of time. He was willing to die to save his wife from a fate almost as worst as death. I was on the edge of her innocence, but, that was because the story boards were so well planned and laid out. Me, a movie buff, who can usually see things coming, was led by this movie like the Pied Piper led the rats. Elizabeth Banks did a wonderful job with her character as did Toby Green, Tyler Green and Ty Simpkins, the movie's youngest actors who all played the couple's son, Luke. You know who else is in this movie, actress Aisha Hinds who played Detective Collero. She's best known for her role as Isabel Walsh, in the television series, Hawthorne, starring Jada Pinkett-Smith. Aisha Hinds is a wonderful actress! She has DEFINITELY captured my attention. I'll be looking to see more of her on the silver screen! Overall, The Next Three Days was, in my opinion, absolutely astounding. Would go see this one again and definitely recommend it to others. I give this movie an A or 4 STARS!
