The subject matter involved in the movie may not be new. Looking at the plot alone, it is easy for the audience to think of another immortal classic movie, "Shawshank's Redemption". They were all wrongly imprisoned and then forced to escape, but unlike the naked accusations against the judicial system in "Shawshank's Redemption", "Three Days in Crisis" appears to be much more restrained. In addition to the intense plot of the whole movie and the thrill of making the audience like walking a tightrope, the attitude is not completely biased towards one of them, and it maintains the balance of viewpoints just right.
The film’s tempo is delayed, but obviously it has no intention of creating the atmosphere of a commercial blockbuster. Russell interprets the desperate redemption of a little man with his eyes full of love. He has no long-term skills and cannot be transformed into an iron-blooded superman instantly. The director used affection instead of logic to capture the audience, and the audience who lost their position willingly turned a blind eye to the loopholes in the film.
The film took only twenty minutes to prepare the stage and directly entered the tense section of planning a prison escape, which made everyone hooked. And the director used strong ink and color to show meticulously the whole process of a "rookie" planning to escape from prison. The most exciting part of the film is the process of the protagonist's escape. The film has a rigorous structure and a compact plot. The entire film consists of more than 380 shots, which is far beyond the scale of conventional movies. In a fixed length, the increase in the number of shots greatly speeds up the rhythm of the film and also reflects the wonderfulness of the film. It is by no means comparable to ordinary movies.
