not amazing

This film was obviously influenced by "The Shawshank Redemption". Both were wrongfully imprisoned, and they were all "jailbreakers."

After watching the movie, there are two experiences. One is that the American police are very incompetent, and the other is that the American justice system is very dark (innocent people may also be wrongfully imprisoned). But thinking about so many unjust, false and wrongful convictions and mysteries in the big T Dynasty, and thinking that the police also make big and trivial matters into trivial matters, they don't care about anything, and suddenly they accept the setting of the movie. But I still feel that the screenwriter's traces are strong, the police are too stupid, and the male protagonist's plan is not so flawless.

Then there is a deep question: why is Russell Crowe not working?

The director and screenwriter is the famous Paul Haggis, "Crash" and "Million Dollar Baby" are their peaks, and it seems that it is difficult to produce a third such masterpiece.

The Next Three Days quotes

  • Damon Pennington: No prison in the world is airtight. Each one has a key. You just have to find it.

    John Brennan: How do you do that?

    Damon Pennington: A lot of looking. Especially at things that break up the daily routine. Guards get comfortable doing the same thing day in, day out. Something happens, that's when they make mistakes. But when you see it, you have to be ready. You have to have the entire plan already in place even before you know how you're gonna get out of jail. Escaping's easy. The hardest part is staying free.

  • Damon Pennington: From the time they make the call, the police can have the center of the city sealed tight in fifteen minutes.

    John Brennan: How can they be so exact?

    Damon Pennington: After 9/11, Homeland Security made every city have a lockdown plan. Downtown Pittsburgh, Philly, Boston, Minneapolis, fifteen minutes. They can do D.C. in under ten. Within 35 minutes, they can have cops at every tollboth on the interstate and be running rolling stops on the secondary roads. They won't have your photograph yet, but they will have your description.

    John Brennan: What if you can't get out? 35 minutes is not a lot of time.

    Damon Pennington: Then surrender. Because they will shoot you on sight, along with anyone else you're with.
