A welcomed reunion of Kiss the Girls costars Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman makes High Crimes a worthwhile thriller with vivid, likable characters. Efficiently directed by Carl Franklin, this military mystery doesn't have the unpredictable edginess of Franklin's Devil in a Blue Dress, but its twisting plot is sure to hold anyone's attention. Judd plays a successful, happily married lawyer whose husband (Jim Caviezel) is accused of killing innocent citizens during his military service in El Salvador some 13 years earlier. A cover-up implicates a powerful Brigadier General (Bruce Davison), but when Judd hires a maverick attorney (Freeman), Judd is caught in a potentially lethal trap of threats and deception. Attentive viewers will stay ahead of the action, and alleged villains are posed as obvious decoys. Still, Judd and Freeman have an appealing rapport (shared with Amanda Peet, playing Judd's vivacious sister), and Freeman's character flaws add worldly spice to yet another rich performance. --Jeff Shannon

 Great pairing of Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd November 18, 2008
Just when you think you know what the truth is and who the bad guys really are---there is a twist in the plot. Great thriller that unfolds slowly but gets you hooked. Great acting by Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd and the supporting actors are very good in their roles. For any Marines in the audience, I am sure you will have to "suspend disbelief" in viewing this movie---it is completely fiction and is not an insult to the Marine corps or our fine men and women in the Marines. It is a very satisfying thriller and the ending will susprise you. I recommend this for people who enjoy fine acting and a good thriller.
Very good, very good very good July 21, 2008
Morgan Freeman plays a very good part, and Ashely Judd, the same. when you see them two in a movie, you already now it's going to be a great movie. Ashely Judd, and Morgan Freeman are a great team. I'm a huge Morgan Freeman fan. The man could read the phone book, and I would love to it!!!!

This is a great movie. I loved the interaction between Judd & Freeman, and Freeman asking Judd to join his business.
Lots of turns and twists! March 7, 2007

Ashley Judd gives a stunning performance as an attorney who must keep her husband from getting the death penalty in military court. Tom Kubik has been living under an assumed identity to keep from being arrested for a crime he says he didn't participate in, but will have a hard time proving since many of the eye witnesses are dead. Once a secret mission gets the layers peeled away, things get brutal and many involved find their lives at risk as someone in the military tries to bury the truth. Morgan Freeman is a top attorney who is fighting with alcoholism, but hasn't lost his edge. He goes out on a limb to help clear Claire Kubik's husband of accusations and prove what really happened in a marine mission that went terribly wrong. However, the attorneys dig too deep and uncover some facts they really didn't want to know about. Great story!
