The Next Three Days 2010 Paul Haggis

First off, let me say that this movie is officially 2 hours and 2 minutes long.  It is the longest 2 hours and 2 minutes ever in the history of recorded media.  Look at Russell Crowe in that poster.  He's falling asleep!  And the poster looks busy!  That means the film will be busy as well, right? Action packed?  But it's not!  The poster is lying to you!  There is absolutely nothing busy, or exciting, or good about this film.  At all.

Might as well get the story out of the way....Elizabeth Banks is arrested for the murder of her boss.  Russell Crowe spends the next infinity and beyond trying to think up a way to bust her out of jail.  That's pretty much it.  Poor Liam Neeson plays a character who shows Russell Crowe how to go about busting his wife out of jail, and he shows up looking like he just got out of a casting session for Guard This!  The Curtis Sliwa Story.  Check it out - he looks embarrased to be there.....
It's just sad
I remember going to see the movie Inventing the Abbots.  It' was so dreadfully boring that I ended up admiring the ceiling of the theater, how the seats were laid out, where the exits were, you know, just in case.  This movie was just as boring, if not more, because this time I was at my house and I was admiring the furniture and the walls - anything to keep from watching this piece of crap.  I hate hate hate hate hate this movie.  God, it sucks.  Oh, and if you make it to the end (without fast forwarding) get ready to poke your eyes out when a character has his great epiphany, because you'll realize you just got suckered into wasting the longest two hours of your life.  And for what? 

Never again, Paul Haggis.  Never again.
