The Next Three Days (2010)

Impressively smart movie about a woman in jail for the murder of her boss and the husband who both believes in her innocence and is determined to get her out.

The last quarter of the movie or so -- the evasion sequence -- elevates an already good film to great. I only wish that they’d stopped there. Going out of their way to make SURE there was no ambiguity about the wife’s innocence was overkill. It almost felt like the filmmakers were abiding by the Hays Code: we can't let the audience root for someone who might be an honest-to-goodness murderess! A killer should never get away...NOR would she deserve a husband who loves her! Make sure the audience know that she's worth their sympathies!

Definitely takes it down a notch.

B+
