I read something about this a few months ago and while it sounded intriguing, I just forgot about it. So time went by and here we have the a trailer for the latest from Russell Crowe and Oscar Winning writer/director Paul Haggis (Crash). American Gangster and State of Play didn’t do much for me but it doesn’t mean Crowe has lost it, they just didn’t work for me. That said, I like the look of the trailer and am eager to see more. Crowe plays a husband who’s wife has been arrested for murder and he’s planning to break her out. What better way than a post A-Team Liam Neeson to help out? Have a look and let me know what you think…

While trailers have been known to make a movie look better than it actually is, I’m on board but still cautiously optimistic. This looks a little overdone and predictable, however it’s the fact that Crowe and Haggis are together on this that’s really got my attention. Will it work? Who knows but I’m interested to find out. The Next Three Days is set for release this Fall on November 19th. So whaddya think?? Is anyone planning to see this?

Thanks for sharing this trailer Marc, I am going to post this on my site too. I really liked State of Play because it showed the underbelly of politics and the inside workings of a newspaper which I thought was interesting.

Glad you liked it. I’m interested to see this I think it looks good; Crowe just shines in any story.

Crowe and Neeson both in this film make this a must see!

Y’know, I was excited when I heard about the premise and the cast (Maximus goes ‘Taken’), but seeing the trailer, it’s kind of meh. It just seems like something Kurt Russell would do, very B-movie-ish. And I’m sort of tired of seeing Neeson in the same type of roles I’ve seen him do many times before. Oh well, it might still be good, but I’m not getting the same quality vibe as State of Play.

it’s kinda like Law Abiding Citizen when the good guy becomes bad but your so used to him being good then you are actually wanting the bad guy to win.

Yeah, except that as the body counts start mounting, I definitely stopped rooting for him and want him to get caught.
