Movie Haiku:Seemingly normal family faces crisis when beautiful young Mom (Banks) is suddenly arrested for murder. Can her college professor husband (Crowe) save her? Taut, tense 3rd Act rescues this preposterous premise. Excellent acting all around & wonderful use of gritty Pittsburgh locations. We were hooked right to the end--which is saying a whole lot these days!
