If Hollywood ever totally collapses, films like High Crimes will be the reason why.

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.

Military whodunit isn't great drama, but director Carl Franklin's skill makes for an above-average thriller.

A pretty fair -- if twist-happy -- thriller.

[Judd and Freeman] radiate an intelligence that makes so-so movies seem much better.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 15, 2002
