Stylish and effective, if slightly overlong, thriller.
Even if it lacks the finesse of Franklin's earlier work, High Crimes moves like a bullet.
Every minute of the film is trash, and director Carl Franklin seems to know it.
It's hard to see Franklin's fingerprints on the material. It's as if he directed with his gloves on.
The chief pleasure of High Crimes (and it's a limited one) comes from watching Morgan Freeman, who can bring a sense of integrity to even the silliest thriller.
The strands in High Crimes don't coalesce. Those red herrings somehow take over the picture; the thing itself turns into a giant red herring.
All in all, High Crimes isn't worth the crayons it took to write the script.
