The Runaways

Paul Haggis’ The Next Three Days may be a Russell Crowe vehicle, but as far as I’m concerned, this fall entry, a remake of a French movie, is Elizabeth Banks’ starmaker.

The thrilling-looking drama follows the story of the Brennans, a seemingly perfect family whose lives are turned topsy turvy when Lara (Banks) is is arrested for a murder she says she didn’t commit.

Three years into her sentence, John (Crowe) is struggling to hold it together, raising their son and teaching at college while pursuing every means available to prove her innocence.

With the rejection of their final appeal, Lara becomes suicidal and John decides there is only one thing left for him to do: break her out of prison.



The Next Three Days arrives in theaters on Nov. 19.
