Review of The Next Three Days (2010) by Broncosownyou — 29 Mar 2011

This movie started out exactly like I wanted it to. It was interesting, suspenseful, and intriguing. But then all of a sudden it just stops. It's as though they had a beginning and and end but the middle was made up as they went along. I literally thought the movie was coming to and end when I looked at the running time and I was only an hour and 19 minutes into it! I had over an hour left! Some things happened in the movie that will make you dislike the two main characters and wonder why some of the talent that was in this movie even agreed to do it in the first place. And I'm not talking about Russel Crowe.

One thing I thought was very odd was the way the guards at the prison acted around the visitors. The visitors were treated as though they were criminals also and were always "glaring" at Russell Crowe's character even before he started acting odd when he came to visit. It's a small little nitpick but it just gives you a sense of how the rest of the movie was directed.
