... was criminally underrated, imo. Fantastic mood music, great acting by Banks and Crowe, and a great story. How does a normal guy go about getting a fake identity and money? This movie answers that question and a lot more.

It's a fine movie. Paul Haggis was on a roll and then a lot of strange things happened.

Strange things ?

[–] Interlepos (1784) 10 months ago

1. Left scientology in 2009 and his association with that crowd became very public around the release of The Next Three Days. I don't think this helped his reputation in Hollywood.

2. He was found liable on all three counts of rape and sexual abuse in 2022.

I'd have to agree he went astray.

Yep, and his career strangely died long before the rape trial.

I had no idea about the rape thing until I saw your comment above. Wild.
