    • Trivia
      Paul Haggis selected Pittsburgh as the main location as he wanted one that was relatively close to the Canadian border, figuring that would be a logical destination for someone breaking their wife out of prison. He also wanted the location to be one less cinematically familiar than New York City or Chicago.
    • Goofs
      When the detective says "get the warrant", the only admissible evidence they have to even suspect John is that his wife owns a car that uses the same tail lens as was found in a trash pile up the street from the meth lab. No judge would issue a warrant on that, and certainly not in the time frame shown.
    • Quotes

      John Brennan: So, the life and times of Don Quixote, what is it about?

      Female College Student: That someone's belief in virtue is more important than virtue itself?

      John Brennan: Yes... that's in the there. But what is it about? Could it be how rational thought destroys your soul? Could it be about the triumph of irrationality and the power that is in that? You know, we spend a lot of time trying to organize the world. We build clocks and calendars and we try to predict the weather. But what part of our life is truly under our control? What if we choose to exist purely in a reality of our own making? Does that render us insane? And if it does, isn't that better than a life of despair?

    intense and compelling

    Russel Crowe plays John and Elizabeth Banks plays his wife.one night she is arrested for murder.after years of fighting with the legal system to try to free her,he learns she will be sent to prison for life in three days.now he must find a way to stop that from happening.this movie is full of suspense and intensity.it's tightly written(Paul Haggis wrote the screenplay)and well directed by Paul Haggis.the acting is superb from both Russel Crowe and Elizabeth Banks,who continues to show her flair as a dramatic actress.Daniel Stern had a small role,but was very impressive as well.this is a film i'd definitely watch again.for me,The Next Three Days is a 7/10
