2. full review at Movies for the Masses
3. Rock solid thrills and spills. Don't get comfy - this is edge-of-the-seat stuff.
4. Okay, but it lacks conviction.
5. Hats off to Paul Haggis. He's got to be the first person to do a Hollywood remake of a foreign movie that turns out to be MORE waffly.
6. Haggis skilfully writes and directs, using a sleek visual style while smoothing out the original version's plot holes
7. A kind of escape procedural, with director Paul Haggis delivering a host of interesting details about lock-picking and the faking of passports.
8. Paul Haggis ('In the Valley of Elah') manages to make this American adaptation of Fred Cavaye's 'Pour Elle' an engaging film
9. A laborious thriller that lacks wit, intelligence, and, most unforgivably, thrills, The Next Three Days continues the steady decline of Crowe's career.
10. The Next Three Days is perfunctory fare that seems to last almost as long as its title.
