The title is really stupid; should have been called 'Jailbreak'


The title means absolutely nothing. Yeah, he has the deadline to get her out, but his preparations began much earlier, and the actual escape plan doesn't take three days.

Maybe a better title would have simply been "Jailbreak" or even some uber corny title like "I would do anything for love/her/my wife" or "How far would you go".

Either way, the title is really stupid.

OK.

And spoil the plot twist? Bad idea.
I knew nothing about the movie when I watched it yesterday. I supposed it would be a courtroom drama, with the husband investigating on his own, trying to find the real murderer. So I was surprised about the change of direction. Well done, all of them!

Ditto & I haven't even seen the trailer! It was a nice surprise. The name Jailbreak would have helped in the box office though

Important advice (I i k ,)

Yeah. He plans it for a long time for THAT prison. But suddenly they find out she's getting transferred in Three Days! So now he needs to act quick, otherwise he has to plan it all over again. Title makes perfect sense.

Why am I Mr. Pink?
