Reviews for High Crimes
Top CriticComes off more like a misdemeanor, a flat, unconvincing drama that never catches fire.
08/09/02
Top CriticA well-mounted and well-acted suspense movie that, thanks to its illogical script, falls off a cliff midway through.
07/20/02
Top CriticCarl Franklin directs smoothly, but except for Freeman, the theatrics are pretty pro forma.
04/14/02
Top CriticJudd ... eyebrow-cocks her way through Carl Franklin's witless High Crimes.
04/09/02
Top CriticIn a movie like this, if you're not surprised, if you know what's going to happen and you can figure out everything then it ultimately falls flat and that's why it doesn't work for me.
04/08/02
Top CriticStale and clichéd to a fault.
04/07/02
Top CriticThe fare is all on the standard menu, but it goes down well just the same.
04/05/02
Top CriticIsn't worth the crayons it took to write the script.
04/05/02
Top CriticThere ought to be a law against what they do to Morgan Freeman in High Crimes.
04/05/02
Top CriticHigh Crimes has some faults, but it manages to keep its audience either angry or jumpy from start to finish.
04/05/02
Top CriticLudicrous, but director Carl Franklin adds enough flourishes and freak-outs to make it entertaining.
04/05/02
Top CriticHigh Crimes steals so freely from other movies and combines enough disparate types of films that it can't help but engage an audience.
04/05/02
Top CriticFor all its surface frenzy, High Crimes should be charged with loitering -- so much on view, so little to offer.
04/05/02
Top CriticComplex, lucid and exciting, High Crimes strikes a near-perfect balance between plot and character.
04/05/02
Top CriticHigh Crimes badly misses the demeanor of what it pretends to be -- a tense courtroom drama about military corruption, a la A Few Good Men.
04/05/02
Top CriticHigh Crimes, an often pedestrian courtroom drama reteaming Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman, is like a symphony played on cell phones.
04/05/02
Top CriticLudicrous, but director Carl Franklin adds enough flourishes and freak-outs to make it entertaining.
04/05/02
Top CriticMore good than great but Freeman and Judd make it work.
04/05/02
Top CriticHigh Crimes is a cinematic misdemeanor, a routine crime thriller remarkable only for its lack of logic and misuse of two fine actors, Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd.
