Plot[edit]
Lara Brennan is wrongly convicted of murdering her boss and is sentenced to life in prison. Her young son Luke ceases to acknowledge her during prison visits. Following the failure of her appeal, her attorney balks at taking further action. Lara attempts suicide and her husband John becomes obsessed with breaking her out of prison.
John consults Damon Pennington, a former inmate who wrote a book on escaping from prison. Pennington tells John to ask himself if he can 'be that guy' who knocks over an old lady or shoots a cop if it's the difference between escape and a life in jail. Following Damon's advice, John prepares to break his wife out. He studies escape routes and prison routines and buys a handgun. Struggling to obtain fake IDs, he loses much of his money. He sells his furniture and belongings. John is almost caught testing a bump key inside Lara's current jail.
When John learns that Lara will be transferred in three days to a distant prison facility, he is forced to make an emergency plan. Unable to sell his house in time, he considers robbing a bank but hesitates at the last minute. Desperate at his wife's failing mental health, John tails a local drug dealer to a meth lab and robs it of cash, killing two thugs who had beaten and robbed him.
Invoking his plan, John plants falsified blood work indicating Lara is in a state of hyperkalemia and leaves Luke at a birthday party. Lara is transferred from jail to a nearby hospital. Following clues left behind at the drug house, police track down John's car, find his empty house and conclude that he is planning to break his wife out.
Lara's guards at the hospital are overcome by John, and he convinces her to escape with him. John and Lara exit the hospital, narrowly evade police, and leave the area. They discover Luke is unexpectedly at the zoo for the birthday party and drive there to retrieve him while police set up roadblocks around the city. John and Lara pass through by picking up an elderly couple for cover. They drop off the couple and drive to a Canadian airport. Police are misled by escape plan fragments John has purposely left behind and delay the wrong flight. John, Lara and Luke successfully board a plane to Caracas.
Detectives return to the crime scene where Lara's boss was killed. A flashback shows details of the murder and Lara's innocence. Remembering that Lara claimed to have lost a button at the time of the murder, a detective searches a nearby storm drain but just misses the button that could have substantiated her alibi.
John, Lara and Luke arrive at a hotel in Caracas. (Venezuela has no extradition treaty with the U.S.) As Lara lies down next to her son, Luke kisses his mother and they fall asleep together. As the film ends, John takes a picture of his sleeping wife and son.

Development[edit]
Paul Haggis was developing a film about Martin Luther King but could not get the financing. He began looking for less expensive projects and came across the French film Pour Elle (Anything for Her) by Fred Cavayé.[4][5]
The plot of Pour Elle involves a teacher, Julien (Vincent Lindon), who experiences difficulties when his wife (Diane Kruger) becomes a suspect in a murder investigation and is arrested;[4] Julien does not believe that his wife is guilty of the crime, and attempts to remove her from the prison.[4]Pour Elle was Cavayé's directing debut.[4] The film was one of the main attractions of the Alliance FrançaiseFrench Film Festival in 2010.[6] Cavayé explained the plot and motivation for making the film, 'We wanted to make a real human story about an ordinary man doing an extraordinary thing because he's faced with a miscarriage of justice. The film also talks about courage—saying how you show courage depending on the situation. In France, for example, there were good people who did not go into the Resistance against the Germans.'[6]
Haggis later recalled, 'I'd always wanted to do a little thriller. I'd always loved films like Three Days of the Condor, those romantic thrillers ... It's a lovely, slight, 90-minute film, the French film.'[7]
Changes from French film[edit]
Haggis made a number of key changes from the French film:
They made it quite clear from the beginning of the film, she was innocent, and that he was loving, and he'd do anything to get her out, and, in the end, they lived happily ever after. The bumps along the way were good but I thought I could make him pay a larger price. So, the first thing I did was ask myself what the question was. I need to have a question if I'm starting a movie. The question I came up with, and I'm not sure if it's reflected in the film or not, but it's what I was writing toward, was: Would you save the woman you loved if you knew that by doing so you'd become someone she'd no longer love? That interested me. And that wasn't in the French film at all. The whole issue of innocence was fascinating to me because I didn't necessarily want to say whether she was guilty or innocent. I just wanted John to be the only one who believes she's innocent. The evidence is overwhelming. Even his parents think she's probably guilty. Even their own lawyer. Yet he still believed ... and what that level of belief does for someone, how infectious it is. So, those are two things I was playing with.[7]
Cavayé told The Age regarding the remake of the film by Haggis, he is eager 'to be a spectator of my own film'.[4] The director commented on the news his film would be remade by Haggis, 'It's a strange feeling. I wrote this story in my very small apartment in Paris. When I saw my name next to Russell Crowe on the net, it was amazing.'[6]
Haggis based the lead character on himself:
I just sat down and said, 'If I had to break the woman I love out of prison, how would I do it?' I'd go on the Internet, that's the first thing I do. I'd Google 'How to break out of prison.' So, that's exactly what I did. I went on and Googled 'How to break out of prison,' 'How to break into a car,' and found these fascinating things, and I just used them. I figured that's what he would do. I also knew I would fail spectacularly, at least at first. But then I would continue. And I'd get the shit beat out of me, and I would trust the wrong people, and I would do the wrong things. I'd start to feel really good about myself, that I'd figured the whole thing out, and then something would go wrong. I would just keep going until I either was caught or we got out or something happened. That's what he does. So, I just tried to make him an everyman. I loved the fact that this guy was also an English teacher, so he was a romantic. He was talking about Don Quixote. He's got this whole romanticized vision of how you sacrifice yourself for a woman, how you go about something like this. It's terribly romanticized and so completely impractical.[7]
Filming[edit]
In October 2009, Haggis and his staff were in the principal photography stage of production filming in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[3][8] On October 4, 2009, filming of the movie was ongoing and was set to complete on December 12, 2009.[9]On December 14, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that filming of The Next Three Days was going to wrap that day, after 52 days of shooting.[10]
Release[edit]
In October 2009, the film was originally scheduled to be released in 2011,[11] by March 2010, the Australian media company Village Roadshow was set to release the film in Australia in November 2010.[12] It was released in the United States on November 19, 2010.[2]
Reception[edit]
Critical response[edit]
On Rotten Tomatoes, 51% of 165 critics gave the film a positive review, with an average rating of 5.9/10. The website's critical consensus reads: 'Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks give it their all, but their solid performances aren't quite enough to compensate for The Next Three Days' uneven pace and implausible plot.'[14] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 52 out of 100, based on 36 critics, indicating 'mixed or average reviews'.[15] Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade 'B+' on an A+ to F scale.[16]
In her positive review, Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly wrote, 'The movie's real strength ... is generating escalating waves of plot tension and misdirection as John, heeding advice, makes his jail-busting moves.'[17] In contrast, Roger Ebert awarded the film two and a half out of four stars and said, 'The Next Three Days is not a bad movie; it's just somewhat of a waste of the talent involved.'[18]

The Casino is one of the greatest movies about Las Vegas directed by Martin Scorsese. This iconic movie, released in 1995, tells the story of two mobsters who are the best friends and who try to create their own casino empire. The most exciting thing is that the plot is based on a true story ofFrank “Lefty” Rosenthal (played by Robert De Niro) and his real-life gangster friend Tony Spilotro (played by Joe Pesci). But there isn’t the only interesting fact about the movie Casino. Here are 10 little-known and peculiar facts about the Casino.
- Before filming the Casino, Robert De Niro met the man on whom his character – Sam Rothstein – is based. He met with Frank Rosenthal in person.
- Not many people know that the Tangiers casino didn’t really exist. Unlike such real casinos as the Venetian Macao in China, Yebo Casino for South Africa or Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut, the Tangiers casino was just a fiction. But the film was shot in a real, operating casino called the Riviera.

- Frank Rosenthal ran the Stardust and was a former executive at that casino. This fact was well documented in Vegas history books. So, Martin Scorsese decided to highlight this fact via the soundtrack. The track “Stardust” is heard three times throughout the film.
- Due to the fact that Robert De Niro’s character was a chain smoker, he constantly had to hold the cigarettes the same distance from the lit end in order to avoid the continuity issues. So, Sam Rothstein’s cigarettes lengths never appear to change throughout the movie.
- According to Frank Rosenthal, the worst scene of the Casino was when Sam was juggling. He really hated it because he claimed that on the Frank Rosenthal TV Show he never juggled and thought this scene made him look foolish.
- The actress Claudia Haro, who played Trudy, the co-host/bandleader “Ace’s High”, was Joe Pesci’s wife in real life.
- The most eye-catching gold and white beaded gown in which Sharon Stone appears during the casino scene weighted 45 pounds.
- There were 7,000 extras in the Casino movie. 120 of these extras had speaking parts.
- Sam Rothstein’s attorney, Oscar Goodman, is a lawyer in real life and he actually defended several mobsters from Las Vegas. Besides, in 1999, he became Mayor of Las Vegas.

5 Casino Fun Facts
- Most dialogues between Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci were absolutely improvised. The director just told them where to start and where to end.
- Joe Pesci re-broke the same rib during the filming of the Casino that had been broken 15 years earlier during the filming of the Raging Bull.
- James Woods so wanted to be in the movie directed by Martin Scorsese, so when he heard that the famous director was interested in working with him, he called the Scorsese’s office immediately and said that he was ready to start “any time, any place, any part, any fee”.
- Sharon Stone could meet Martin Scorsese only on the third occasion. Her first two auditions were canceled by the director for different mundane reasons. She decided not to try a third time and go out with her friend instead. But the director of the Casino found Sheron at the restaurant where she was dining with her friend and made her a personal appeal.
- According to the producers of the Casino, the most difficult thing about filming this masterpiece was finding those people who could tell them how to cheat in the casino.
3 Interesting Facts about Casino Movies
The Casino certainly is the most memorable casino-themed movie, but not the only one. For the fans of themovies about gambling and casinos, here are the top 3 casino films in addition to the Casino and most interesting facts about them.
- The Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas directed by Terry William has become a cult classic movie. Despite the fact that this movie describes the casino life of Las Vegas, very little of the movie was really shot in Las Vegas.
- Being one of the most popular casino films ever made, the Ocean’s Eleven was produced on a budget of $80 million and was the fifth highest grossing film the year of its release, raked in $450.7 million in the box office.
- The Casino Royale (2006) is an updated casino movie which describes some new ways of gambling with the help of Mobile Casinos. Amazingly, but it took almost six weeks to film the Parkour chase at the beginning of the movie and Daniel Craig lost two of his front teeth when filming a fight scene in Prague.
