It’s the action movie from the director of Crash we’ve all been waiting for! Paul Haggis gives big socially relevant themes (but not heart-tugging) a rest with this thriller, based on a French film about a dedicated husband who breaks his wife out of jail. Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks star as the happily married twosome — happy, that is, up until Banks is arrested for murder, turns suicidal, and Crowe has to go renegade (plus learn how to load a gun) to bust her out. Liam Neeson plays an ex-con who helps the broken-up but determined Crowe plan the escape, which will, per the trailer’s very last, overwrought action shot, include Banks almost — but we guess not quite — getting hit by a truck while dangling out of a moving vehicle.
