    Stylish and effective, if slightly overlong, thriller.

    The problem with High Crimes, acceptable though it is, is that it's not close to anyone's best work.

    Franklin directs smoothly, but except for Freeman, the theatrics are pretty pro forma.

    Once, for no reason, Franklin whirled the camera around 360 degrees while two people were having an ordinary conversation. I suspect he must have been as bored by then as I was.

    What a piece of crap, i hate movies about the law because obviously they don't do their homework. Just find basicly anyone in the military and bring them to watch this movie, and ask them to point out everything that is wrong in the court scenes. The list will go about 1/3 of the movie. Also there ain't no nail bitting involved with this movie, i figured out that ..............about 40 minutes into the movie. There is no real thrill involved with this movie.… Expand
