One of the best suspenseful movies I've seen in a long time, probably since The Shining. I'll be adding it to my list of favorites that I frequently watch.

I like Morgan Freeman's movies so I had to see this one.  I enjoyed it because it was suspenseful, with a lot of surprises throughout.  I would recommend it.

Here is a movie with two great stars in it.  They are both my favorites when it comes to movie going.  I have practically all of Johnny Depp's movies and Angelina Jolie's movies at home.  This was quite a surprise to me, it kept me from leaving the room, which I do occasionally when I'm watching a movie at home, but this one I did not care to put on pause.

I gave this movie a five star rating, mainly because it was quite suspenseful.  Jolie was her usual sexy, casual self, Depp kept his  self image here, his role as a tourist was well played.  This movie kept you guessing when are we going to see the mystery man that gangsters and officials are looking for.  If I mentioned that it had a surprise ending, I hope it would lure movie goers to buy and see this movie and enjoy Depp and Jolie together on the screen.

I really liked this movie.  The characters had good chemistry and tension throughout.  You never knew what was going to happen next and there were a few surprises thrown in at the end as well.  Not a "When Harry Met Sally", but a good movie.

Really good movie. Kept us guessing, which is not usually wish Hollywood, so that alone makes a good movie to me. That being said, the story line was original and the acting was spot on. Definitely worth watching.

The Next Three Days is a movie full of suspense. It really kept me on the edge of my seat and that doesn't happen very often.
Russell Crowe is absolutely brilliant as John Brennan the main character. The rest of the cast is also well chosen and their acting is great. The different characters are nicely developed, convincing and plausible. The dialogs are well written.
There are many touching scenes where no words are spoken. It's just the acting and some background music which tell you more than any words could say. The soundtrack is also very well chosen. Layout and scenery of Pittsburgh play an essential part in the story line.
The plot is very densely packed and fast-moving and consists of many small scenes. Some of the deleted scenes would have filled some gaps and provided the viewer with some helpful explanations. It's a pity that there is no extended version on the DVD. There are for example deleted scenes that would have explained how John Brennan came up with the plan to tamper with his wife's blood test to get her out of prison.
The Next Three Days is definitely one of the best movies I have seen lately but nothing is perfect. You just can't push up the door knob of a car with a tennis ball. There would have been some other means like a device to intercept the door lock mechanism with remote control. John could have obtained such a device from the same shady neighborhood he got the passports from. I also didn't like the scene of Lara trying to throw herself out of the car just because John made a sudden change in plans. Why a second suicide attempt now when she is almost home free? A freaked out Lara pushing at her husband while driving could have just as easily caused the near accident.
Anyway, I think the whole story is quite believable even though there are some very convenient coincidences. Just watch Reality TV and you will see even more unbelievable stories.

I thought this movie had a strong Hitchcock feel to it, even if the cinematography was very artistic. I wish they would have made this movie a little more mainstream because I think it had potential to be a classic film. The director (who also directed Notting Hill and The Mother) seemed to be trying some new camera styles during certain that just did not fit this movie at all. However, the first 10 minutes of this film are riveting enough (and suspenseful and disturbing enough) that I will forgive him for falling into some experimental techniques where they didn't belong.

If you enjoy slow but powerful stories and enjoy Hitchcockian suspense, you might like this movie. The part when the psycho character starts singing "God only knows where I'd be without you..." will send chills down your spine. This movie is definitely not for everyone, and it might take a second viewing to understand exactly what is going on, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

I actually liked this movie (contrary to most critics and viewers alike). Sure, some of it is over-the-top and cheesy, and sure, you have to suspend reality for an hour and forty eight minutes, but so what ? I found this actually to be kind of suspenseful, and although I think Claire Forlani is getting too old to play in these teen moves (i.e. Boys and Girls), I think she did a reasonable job. And who can resist Ryan Phillippe? A stretch of the imagination allows him to be a computer nerd, and he certainly acts the part. Along with Rachael Leigh Cook, this movie has a great cast, mostly convincing acting and although the plot borderlines on unbelievable, just sit back and enjoy the ride.
