Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumNov 17, 2010
Damon's how-to-break-the-law lesson - as ludicrous as anything else in this enjoyably zigzaggy exercise in accumulating peril - grants Neeson the fun of experimenting with an American ex-con accent for his one scene. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesNov 18, 2010
The characters are so vivid that the suspense never lags. Crowe is best in buttoned-down roles like this one, and he holds the husband's fear and resolve in balance. Read full review

I didn't buy how The Next Three Days plays out - but I almost bought it, and that's good enough for a thriller. Read full review

MovielineStephanie ZacharekNov 17, 2010
The plot is worked out with care, and it takes its time, unapologetically, in a manner that's perfectly suited to thinking adults. The whole enterprise reeks of class. Read full review

The New YorkerDavid DenbyNov 15, 2010
An accomplished, intelligent, often exciting piece of work, but I can't help wishing that Haggis had figured out how to make it more fun. [22 Nov. 2010, p. 140]

Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerNov 20, 2010
In its final half-hour, all the stops are pulled. The movie is still wildly implausible but at least it's hurtling forward. The only thing missing from the proceedings is a windmill for John to tilt at. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen ColeNov 19, 2010
An okay thriller with lots of smart flourishes, The Next Three Days has us hooked early on but never quite gets us in the boat. Read full review

The Next Three Days might have fared a lot better if the screenwriters had stuck to "The Next Two Days." Read full review

The movie is a competent thriller, but maybe could have been more. Read full review
