While it has a few thrilling moments, it becomes, not really clunky, but very unenticing.

It was nice to see Neeson and Crowe in a film together. Elizabeth Banks was okay here. An unbelievable plot made interesting because of the directing and performances. Its intent was good but the manner of saving his wife was unrealistic. If only the conclusion was improved, this could have been rated higher. The Next Three Days is flick with a nice premise but just too much to digest.

A schoolteacher's wife is imprisoned for first degree murder based upon circumstantial evidence and when the final appeal fails and she resorts to a suicide attempt he pours all his skills as a researcher into engineering a meticulous plan to break her out. Very much in a similar vein to TV series Prison Break, The Next Three Days has the premise of an ordinary and honest man resorting to extreme measures when faced with an untenable situation. It's not as convoluted as the series however, concentrating more on the human drama than histrionics; in fact the inevitable mix of wobbly-cammed screeching tires, helicopters and cop dodging is easily the least interesting part of the film. Some will be disappointed at the lack of action, especially considering the trailer which was clearly cut …
