    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

    Competent, but unoriginal. The ending is obvious not because of flaws in the storytelling, but because by now we know that this genre needs something qualifiying as a "twist" ending these days. So we simply wait (for nearly 2 hours) before it comes -- which it finally does. Yawn. satisfying.

    "High Crimes" may not be high budget, but that doesn't mean it's not done well in most parts. I found many elements of the story to be perfectly satisfactory. But the climactic conclusion is so manipulative, so convenient, so ridiculous, that I'm forced to award it only two-and-a-half stars. Is this a positive or a negative review? You decide.

    Almost a decent thriller. Ideal for the small screen, the smaller the better. Can't resist cheap shots at the military.

    Ms. Judd commands the screen with consistent authority, and Mr. Freeman brings expansive humor to the role of a self-styled wildcard who's still dangerous in court.

    Washes away whatever unique filmmaking personality Franklin has.

    Secret trials and buried atrocities are no match for a plucky (and rich, and svelte) young heroine, least of all Ms. Ashley Judd, who eyebrow-cocks her way through Carl Franklin's witless High Crimes.
