Russell Crowe usually play as a hero in most his movies. Just like at Gladiator and the latest movie is Robin Hood (i supposed). In this movie also, but now he has no special power, he's just a teacher at a university in Pittsburgh. He's just like us, a man which walk in a right way, clean path. But sometimes things goes in some way that we don't want it and can't understand. He's wife accused for a murder which she didn't do it. And John Brennan really loves his wife, and can't stand anymore to see his wife suffer in jail for an accusation that is not true. Here in this movie you can see a great thriller action, really down to earth and almost realistic. This movie invite us to think how if we have to do a crime, how we must to do it, because we have to stand for the right thing. Here you can also see famous person like Liam Neeson and Olivia Wilde just as cameo, play a little, not really important, and not much script. If you can't remember, Olivia Wilde is also starring at Tron Legacy.

Sinopsis : Lara Brennan (Banks) is accused of murdering her boss after an altercation at work. Her college professor husband John Brennan (Crowe) becomes obsessed with the idea of breaking her out of jail, and their son Luke ceases to acknowledge her during their prison visits. John consults Damon Pennington (Neeson), a hardened criminal who has successfully escaped from prison seven times, after reading Damon's book on the subject. Damon advises John to study the prison, saying "any prison has a key". Damon also warns him that the initial escape from the prison will be easy, compared to avoiding capture after the escape. To that end, John must obtain false passports, new social security numbers, and a "truckload of cash" to have a chance of building a life elsewhere. Damon also suggests going to an unstable foreign country that is politically hostile to the United States, so that there would be no extradition or cooperation with United States authorities. John learns the city's plan for capturing escaped prisoners—15 minutes after the escape, the police are to block the nearby roads, and that within 35 minutes, the block will extend to train stations and interstate toll stations, and that their descriptions will be at every airport and train station, though it may take longer for digital photos to be sent.
