The Next Three Days

"Although involving, this remake of a recent French film never reaches the anticipated heights of excitement and suspense" 

"Paul Haggis' middling fourth feature evinces a sometimes pulse-quickening fascination with procedural details, and climaxes with a good dose of swift, suspenseful filmmaking. But what was briskly diverting in the original has been rather laboriously overworked" 

"'The Next Three Days” is an honorably made film, but it’s a caper without play or wit, a caper with real, suffering people in it, and a contradiction from beginning to end" 

"Is a competent thriller, but maybe could have been more. (...) It's sort of slow, because it spells out a lot of details, but it kept me involved. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"
