Wow! yet another Russell Crowe movie i really liked. Another actor who much like everything done by George Clooney i consider boring. Since seeing Cinderella Man, A Beuatiful Mind and a few others i have really taken a liking to Crowe. Director Paul Haggis who have brought us such greats Million Dollar Baby(writer) Casino Royale (Screenplay) and last but not least The Valley Of Elah (director,writer) brings us the tale of one man's roller coaster of a ride to keep his family intact. Crowe play John Brennan a university teacher who live with his wife Lara(played brillaintly by Elizabeth Banks) and their only son Luke (played by twin actors Tobey and Tyler Green).
After being wrongfully accused of murdering her boss, Lara is sent to prison leaving young Luke and John to fend for themselves, 3 years later, after exhausting every appeal to prove her innocence tapping all their resources and financial crutches and leaving them scrambling for ideas, John decides to get in touch with an author who actually escaped out of prison once (Liam Neeson) for some much needed help with a project that will be the most dangerous thing John has ever attempted..busting his wife out of prison!!
If you like edge of your seat style thrillers then this is a must see with loads of twists and turns revolving around the plot. to top it all off it's backed with an energetic soundtrack that only adds the icing on the cake. This will be in our collection someday!
