DVD Review: The next three days
Written by Elka Schaimberg

DIRECTOR: PAUL HAGGIS
STARRING: RUSSELL CROWE, ELIZABETH BANKS AND LIAM NEESON
The Next Three Days follows John Brennan (Russell Crowe), a professor at a community college, whose wife, Lara Brennan (Elizabeth Banks), is convicted of murdering her boss. Despite every effort to prove her innocence, the judge sentences her to life in prison.
Feeling the justice system has failed her, Lara tries to commit suicide, and John becomes determined to save his wife. He becomes obsessed with the idea of breaking her out of jail and seeks the advice of ex-convict Damon Pennington (Liam Neeson), who staged his own daring prison break. John tirelessly researches and stakes out the routines of the prison as he prepares to put his life on the line for the woman he loves.
Lara’s innocence is questioned throughout the movie. You go from “she definitely did it” to “she couldn’t have done it” to “I’m not sure whether she did it or not”! But when John decides to break his wife out of prison, you want him to succeed regardless.
The dramatic and emotionally charged performances of both Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks are fantastic. If you enjoy a good prison break movie, this one comes recommended.
