Tout pour elle

« De fait, la trop longue durée de cette nouvelle version fait plus clairement apparaître les invraisemblances inhérentes au récit. »

« Dans sa version US, voilà le suspense affadi, la tension mollassonne et l'exception culturelle française passée au hachoir d'une vision sans âme et sans tonus. De l'oscarisé Paul Haggis (Crash), on attendait franchement plus. »

« Remake inutile ou pas, The Next Three Days aurait pu être un rafraîchissant changement de registre pour Haggis, soit un thriller sans prétention privilégiant l'efficacité avant tout, comme son inspiration. Or, bien qu'elle semble d'abord reproduire fidèlement le film de Cavayé, la version hollywoodienne s'avère avant longtemps plus sentimentale, plus emphatique et, surtout, beaucoup plus relâchée. »

« Paul Haggis's latest is supposed to be a movie about the sacrifices we make in the name of true, passionate and committed love, so why The Next Three Days feels like a frustrating, unsatisfying and guilt-laden roll in the hay with a flaky partner is a mystery worth pondering. »

« What follows is a quintessential heist film, but with a far more emotional and intimate connection than any other heist movie you've seen before. »

« All in all, The Next Three Days is a really solid thriller along the lines of The Fugitive or Frantic (indeed, if this had been made 10-20 years ago, it would have been a perfect Harrison Ford vehicle). It's not without a few minor problems, as it's a tad too long at 130 minutes, and, of course, the whole scenario begs for major suspension of disbelief. »

« Despite a veteran cast and a couple of Academy Award heavyweights, The Next Three Days manages to remain less than the sum of its parts. »

« The Next Three Days, a new thriller written and directed by Paul Haggis, is in many respects an old-fashioned movie, but it also amounts to a kind of cinematic ''Illegal Activity for Dummies.'' »
