Nothing More Powerful Than A Man Who Has Everything To Lose

Our lives are defined by moments, especially the ones we never see coming.

The Next Three Days is a film about Lara Brennan (Elizabeth Banks) who is taken into jail after murdering her boss. However her husband, John (Russel Crowe) believes she is innocent and after three years in prison, and with their son failing to recognise her on visits, John decides its time to escape.
So with the help of escape artist Liam Neeson, John spends months working out an escape route for him and his wife and their son.
This film is very tense and literally does have you on the edge of your seat at times, you feel for John, his wife in prison, his son growing up without a mother, financial difficulties, everybody believing that Lara did kill her boss. So yes there is nothing more powerful than a man who has everything to lose if his escape plan goes wrong.

Crowe normally is quite one dimensional in films, he is the same character in Gladiator as he was in Robin Hood but this film was different, he was determined, he was scared and ready at the same time. A brilliant film, one which I would go and see again in an instant!
