The Next Three Days

Crowe-good, everything else-meh

Normally I'm okay for a good, old fashioned action movie that requires me to suspend disbelief and just go with the flow. Unfortunately, I just wasn't able to do that with this movie. While Russell Crowe gives his usual strong performance with a character I sympathized with, it's just a little too unbelievable how he's able to go from ordinary citizen to jail-breaking genius. Elizabeth Banks is all right but we never really get to know her character enough to feel bad for her. As the film eventually gets to its climax, after about 90 minutes of build-up, it was just a little more for me to take.
