Critics Consensus: Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman make this predictable affair watchable.

Comes off more like a misdemeanor, a flat, unconvincing drama that never catches fire.
A well-mounted and well-acted suspense movie that, thanks to its illogical script, falls off a cliff midway through.
Carl Franklin directs smoothly, but except for Freeman, the theatrics are pretty pro forma.
Judd ... eyebrow-cocks her way through Carl Franklin's witless High Crimes.
In 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.
Stale and clichéd to a fault.
If Hollywood ever totally collapses, films like High Crimes will be the reason why.
Mediocre thriller of the betrayed-woman genre.
Hampered by a bad script, this is a middling political thriler that's not supsenseful or dramatic enough to generate any interest in the proceedings; the good Morgan Freeman is totally wasted.
This is the work of a director who seems to have been as bored and uninspired making this movie as I was watching it.
High Crimes has its fair share of decent courtroom scenes but the legal tussles are far better than the emotional ones.
...Starts out as a taut and intriguing story but seems to get more preposterous as it goes...
Very average, leaning towards dull.
Super Reviewer
really good interesting and surprising twist
I like to think that my film ratings are aimed at great performances, storyline etc, rather than how good looking a person is, which is why this film gets a 3. It was an ok film, with ok performances and an ok storyline. The reason I say this is because if I had such a thing as a list of good looking actors, then my guess would be, Jim Caviezel would be at the top. VERDICT: Watchable, but forgetable
Ashley always plays the victim and does it very well. Great cast. Story about a husband who is accused of murder and his wife defends him in court. It has a twist though.
