The Next Three Days

When John and Lara bypass the zoo exit they continue on the Highland Park Bridge.

Shortly after, after the car avoids a truck and spins out of control, they come to a stop.

As they exit the vehicle, you can clearly see Chestnut Ridge mountain in the background putting them on toll Route 43 outside of Uniontown, PA.

This is over an hour-and-a-half from the Pittsburgh zoo.

Throughout the movie the license plate of John's car change varying in numbers and letters.

Lara is held in the Allegheny County jail for three years after her conviction.

Convicted murderers are not held in county jails in PA.

She would have only been there temporarily for a pending hearing in Allegheny County Court.

Shortly after her conviction, she would have been transferred into the custody of the PA Department of Corrections and transported to the State Correctional Institution at Muncy on the other side of the state for classification to either SCI Muncy or SCI Cambridge Springs.

Allegheny County Jail does not allow inmates to have contact visits.

The Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) on John's silver SUV are sometimes on, sometimes off during his drive through Pittsburgh.

When John and Lara leave the hospital running from Pittsburgh police, they are suddenly in Downtown Pittsburgh.

But in reality, they were in a hospital in Oakland, which is a few miles from Downtown.

The concept of using air pressure to unlock a car door, let alone from a tennis ball, was debunked on _"MythBusters" (2003)_ (qv) in 2007.

When John and Lara are sitting on the ground next to the car we can see part of Johns digital watch when their hands meet.

The numbers 0.

00 are visible and not changing.

Later the timer is running again.

The Prius' tail light can be seen intact several times after the scene where it got damaged.

- PLOTFor security reasons, inmates in PA are never notified when they are going to be transferred or transported between facilities.

To prevent the exact thing that John attempts - to help an inmate escape.

The plane tickets John's father finds have John and Lara's real names on them, rendering them useless for traveling under their fake passports and easy to track.

They are also dated as having been purchased in 2003 for a flight in June 2004.

Allegheny County Jail is inexplicably, erroneously described as "the largest jail in the world".

In reality it only houses approximately 2,000 inmates.

By comparison, The Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles is the world's largest known jail facility.

It has 1.

2 million square feet and houses almost 4,500 inmates.

The envelope with the labwork shows the Allegheny County Jail's address as "3256 2nd Street".

There is no such address in the city of Pittsburgh.

The jail is actually located at 950 2nd Avenue.

The zip code 15909 is in Johnstown, PA, not Pittsburgh.

Laurie's inmate number on the outside of the lab envelope is "PA-24-775", but on the lab results after he opens the envelope, it's listed as "PA-24-9876" When the escaping couple board their flight they pass through Canadian immigration.

There are no such exit controls in Canada.

When offering to take her grandson to a folk festival, John's mother mispronounces the name of the city, Kutztown, which is in eastern Pennsylvania and quite a long drive from Pittsburgh.

Pennsylvania residents would be well aware of the correct pronunciation.

The U in Kutztown has the same sound as the OO in "book.

" Venezuela, the country where John and Laura escape to, does actually have an extradition treaty with the United States.

I'm a big fan of Elizabeth and I really wanted to watch her latest movie. When I learned that it was a thriller (since I don't normally watch thrillers), I was a little disappointed, so the only reason I started watching this film, was because of Elizabeth.

I can't thing of a single flaw, even when I can, I can't!! Like wow.

A man decides his wife has to be innocent of murder so he hatches a scheme to get her out of prison when all attempts to retry the case are lost. Liam Neeson plays a man who's escaped prison 7 times and teaches him in possibly the best scene of the film what its all about.

After a tranquil night out, you wake up the next morning preparing breakfast for your child and spouse. Exercising a typical suburban daily routine.

I cant understand why people think this is such a good film. For me it was slow, miserable and predictable.

First a note on the choice of the review that is posted at the bottom of the page. Clearly, this review shouldn't contain spoilers, and I assume that whoever moderates the site and chooses the review attends to that matter.

I had some doubts before I bought the DVD but I was wrong. I enjoyed this movie for most of this dynamic and dramatic thriller.

John and Lara Brennan, he a teacher, she a dentist, and their young son Luke are your typical idealised all-American middle-class family, so perfect they could be refugees from a cornflakes ad. And when you see an idealised all-American middle-class family in a thriller, you just know that disaster is just around the corner.

This movie is one of the best movies I have seen in years.
