Despite compelling evidence, a teacher refuses to believe of his wife's guilt in a brutal murder and plans an elaborate plan to break her out of prison. Only the last act of the film concerns the three days of the title, Haggis uses the first two acts to set up the story, in order to allow the audience to believe the main character and his actions. Luckily Haggis got Russel Crowe in the lead who's one of the few actors who could pull off the impossible. The film takes a while to get going but it pays off at the end. The cast includes Elizabeth Banks as the wife and Liam Neeson in a crucial cameo. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
