I love movies like this! It's about Laura Brennan (Elizabeth Banks) who is sent to prison for life after being accused of murdering her boss after a fight they had at work. Her husband John (Russell Crowe) refuses to believe that she is guilty and has the idea of breaking her out.
This film is great! It never takes itself too seriously and it doesn't waste the actors' talents. It may not be the most believable plot, but the way it's portrayed in this movie could fool you into believing that it could happen. It's not too violent and never becomes too suspenseful as to give you a heart attack. However, it's fast paced in all the right spots. I don't mind the uneven pace--in fact, it gives the audience a breather (for those who like having one). I mean, I don't mind films that ARE fast paced the whole time, but it's always good to have one or two that slow it down in order to express the character's emotions and make it a little bit MORE realistic than the story would indicate.
