Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Russell Crowe stars in this competent, but ultimately tiresome remake of the French hit Pour Elle. Crowe's John Brennan is driven to desperate measures to try and bust his wife (Elizabeth Banks) out of prison for a crime she may or may not have committed.
As his wife loiters in prison, Brennan – a teacher by day, amateur locksmith and surveillance expert by night – slowly builds up a plan to extricate his beloved, and swoop off to south America with her and his son. There's drama in the folly of his plans catching up with him, and the prison "break-in" is a good genre inversion, but there's not enough zip in the plot to keep the bars away from drowsy eyes.
