The Next Three Days スリーデイズ（４）

スリーデイズ

At the end of the film, the family ends up safe in Caracas, Venezuela. Back in the United States, a detective who had attempted to catch Brennan returns to the scene of the crime although it had been some years since the crime occurred.

Using his forensic skills, he manages to put together what really happened. It turns out that the killer of Lara's boss was really just a mugger—as she claimed in open court—and a series of coincidences led to Lara's conviction. He remembers Lara saying a button popped off as she passed the mugger, and notices that it is raining just as it had been the night of the murder.

スリーデイズ

John contemplates several ideas that do not pan out and is defeated more than once, but he latches onto a solid plan and the necessary paperwork after some painful efforts. He robs a drug lord and sets his meth lab on fire before fleeing the scene.

He then falsifies and plants blood work results indicating that his wife is in a state of hyperkalaemia, so she is transferred to the hospital. He follows the ambulance and helps her escape although she is doubtful and reluctant, motivated only by the idea of her son being raised without either parent.

スリーデイズ

Lara Brennan (Elizabeth Banks) is convicted of murdering her boss after an altercation at work and after a trial is sentenced to life in prison. Following the failure of her appeal, Lara's husband John Brennan (Russell Crowe), a professor at a community college, becomes obsessed with the idea of breaking her out of jail, while their son Luke ceases to acknowledge her during their prison visits.

John consults Damon Pennington (Liam Neeson), a former convict who successfully escaped from prison seven times. Damon advises John to study the prison where his wife is, saying "every prison has a key". Damon also warns him that the initial escape from the prison will be easy compared with avoiding capture after the escape.

先週の土曜日、少し時間が持てたのでＷＯＷＯＷでとり溜めた映画を観ることにした。たくさんありすぎてどれにしようか迷ってしまうんだけど、なんとなく『スリーデイズ』を観ることにした。

『スリーデイズ』は、ラッセル・クロウ主演のスリル・サスペンスもので、監督は『クラッシュ』でアカデミー作品賞を獲得したポール・ハギス。ダニエル・クレイグの新しい００７シリーズでは脚本を手がけていたりする。

この『スリーデイズ』、かなり面白かった。ストーリーは、ある日突然殺人犯として投獄された妻を救うべく善良な夫が脱獄計画を企て・・・といったお話だ。もともとはフランス映画で『ラスト3デイズ～すべて彼女のために～』のリメイクであるけど、ただのリメイクで終わらない良質な作品だよ。この映画はおすすめ。
