\"\"<\/p>\n

The Pitch:<\/strong> “It’s like ‘The Shawshank Redemption’<\/strong><\/em> from the spouse’s point of view, but in this version the spouse plans and executes his wife’s prison breakout.”<\/p>\n

The Tagline:<\/strong> “What if you had 72 hours to save everything you love?”<\/p>\n

The Story:<\/strong> When a man’s wife is convicted of murdering her boss after an argument and appeals hold no promise, he decides to break her out of prison.<\/p>\n

The Cast:<\/strong> Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, Jason Beghe, Brian Dennehy<\/strong> and Liam Neeson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Good:<\/strong> The planning of the escape and a brief scene with Liam Neeson<\/strong>. There’s a nice moment with the man (Crowe<\/strong>) and his emotionally-distant father (Dennehy<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

The Bad:<\/strong> Liam Neeson<\/strong> is under-used. What happens when you are a “civilian” dealing with criminals. What happens when a man is pushed to the ragged edge. The movie is a bit long.<\/p>\n

The Ugly:<\/strong> The wife’s attitude when she learns too late the her husband’s plan.<\/p>\n

The Rating: D+ <\/strong><\/p>\n
