Bill Goodykoontz
Even with an actor of Crowe's skill, it's hard to believe the mild, thoughtful John would take to the mean streets of Pittsburgh for fake IDs, blast his way into drug houses and such.
Tom Huddleston
In the third act, both Haggis and his actors kick it into high gear, leading to a breathless chase sequence, the outcome of which is unpredictable to the last moments.
Peter Rainer
In its final half-hour, all the stops are pulled. The movie is still wildly implausible but at least it's hurtling forward.
David Denby
The movie is a caper without playfulness or wit -- it's accomplished but not much fun.
Joe Neumaier
It's laughably, eye-rollingly absurd, so you don't watch it and wonder, "Hey, why not?" You endure it and wonder, "So ... why did they do that?"
Stephen Cole
An okay thriller with lots of smart flourishes, The Next Three Days has us hooked early on but never quite gets us in the boat

Excitement! This movie was so great it was none stop action from beginning too end well done to the writer,and producers of this movie well done well done. This was the best action movie ever and I love the two main characters in this movie especially the guy that was giving him the direction on how to break the other guy wife out of prison. Man I love those two movies that he did when those bad guy kidnapped his wife and daughter man those was a super cool movies loved them.
