In the film “The Next Three Days,” Laura Brennan (Elizabeth Banks) is arrested and found guilty for murdering her boss. She’s given a life sentence without parole, but, of course, insists she’s innocent. After it becomes apparent Laura will never be freed from prison, her husband John (Russell Crowe) tasks himself with breaking her out and fleeing the country with their young son in tow. The Chronicle’s film critic, Drew Hunt, reviews the action flick.
