High Crimes badly misses the demeanor of what it pretends to be -- a tense courtroom drama about military corruption, a la A Few Good Men.

Reviews for High Crimes
Top CriticThe film's generic obviousness overwhelms the finer touches usually interesting director Carl Franklin provides.
04/05/02
High Crimes, an often pedestrian courtroom drama reteaming Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman, is like a symphony played on cell phones.
04/05/02
Everything else about High Crimes is, like the military system of justice it portrays, tiresomely regimented.
04/05/02
Ludicrous, but director Carl Franklin adds enough flourishes and freak-outs to make it entertaining.

High 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.

Top CriticUniformly dunderheaded.

Top CriticThe film is so vacuous that it may fade from your memory within hours, rather than the customary couple of weeks or perhaps months that it takes for a typical studio picture to be forgotten these days.
04/05/02
A military courtroom thriller with a simple, predictable story elevated by a strong performance from Judd.
04/05/02
Feels like the product of a computer program that's assembled every cliche and stereotype of court-martial thrillers.

Top CriticJudd's characters ought to pick up the durable best seller Smart Women, Foolish Choices for advice.

Top CriticHigh Crimes works to keep us involved and make us care.
04/05/02
Top CriticThriller High Crimes is guilty of grossly misusing acting talent.
04/04/02
Movies like High Crimes flog the dead horse of surprise as if it were an obligation. How about surprising us by trying something new?
04/04/02
The most grievous offense in the tiresome thriller High Crimes is the amount of talent squandered.
