The Next Three Days - 8/10
Every aspect of this excellent crime/whodunnit thriller was delivered with supreme skill. From Crowe's portayal of the care free, easy going, professional family man's subtle descent into a manic but calculated desperado to the rich distribution of top notch, well known, accomplished actors throughout the supporting cast, this was a work of real substance.
For all those who dismiss Holywood's ability to produce real class, and I admit I sometimes fall into this trap, this movie does much to undermine that all-to-easy to make allegation. There were real unpredictable twists and turn, a constant building of tension and a very intelligent narrative that made this utterly gripping.
In short, Hitchcock would be proud of Paul Haggis' body of work including this latest offering (yeah, I said it!). Just watch it. Immediately.
