Stylish and effective, if slightly overlong, thriller.

Even if it lacks the finesse of Franklin's earlier work, High Crimes moves like a bullet.

Wasn't the best thriller, and was predictable most of the time. But a movie with Morgan Freeman can't be that bad right? His role in this movie with Ashley Judd's capable performance makes this a decent flick, but don't think too hard.

An excellent cast is the only thing to pay attention to. The genre is very gentle, not many films in the genre of a judicial detective. But the main plot literally breaks on the seridin of the film, there is almost no suspense. And the main plot twist is so obvious and predictable, the ending only causes a smirk. And the story itself is absurd. Once you can see, but no more.

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.
