The Next Three Days

Lara and John Brennan's suburban life gets turned upside down after Lara is accused of having murdered her boss. Facing 20 years in prison John decides to take matter into his own hands and break his wife out of jail.

What starts out as a promising plot soon turns into a series of longueurs spiced up with some decent action. Sure, the movie picks up speed towards the end, the story is all in all pretty good, the characters are actually quite credible, but 20 - 30 minutes less would have done the movie good. My two cents.
