‘The Next Three Days’ got mixed reviews

Critics gave the movie mixed reviews after its release.

Celebrated film criticRoger Ebertgave the film two and a half stars.

“The Next Three Daysis not a bad movie.

I’d like to see Crowe and Banks in a smart Haggis original that wasn’t about a jailbreak.

I’m not sure, unfortunately, that the people financing the film would agree with me.”

I was away from my own family for 87 days so you can make this film.

It’s a really well written script."
