Mediocre thriller of the betrayed-woman genre.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 10, 2003

This thriller-by-numbers fails to add anything fresh to an already exhausted genre.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 8, 2002

A well-mounted and well-acted suspense movie that, thanks to its illogical script, falls off a cliff midway through.

High Crimes goes out on a note as bland as its title.

| Original Score: C- | May 9, 2002

It becomes evident that the plot is just a machine to jerk the audience around, and a poorly oiled machine at that -- it clanks when it should click.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 14, 2002

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.

The fare is all on the standard menu, but it goes down well just the same.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 5, 2002

Isn't worth the crayons it took to write the script.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 5, 2002

There ought to be a law against what they do to Morgan Freeman in High Crimes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 5, 2002

High Crimes is hardly high art, but thanks to Freeman, it'll do until something better comes along.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 5, 2002

High Crimes has some faults, but it manages to keep its audience either angry or jumpy from start to finish.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 5, 2002

Claire is a terrific role for someone like Judd, who really ought to be playing villains.

Ludicrous, but director Carl Franklin adds enough flourishes and freak-outs to make it entertaining.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 5, 2002

High Crimes steals so freely from other movies and combines enough disparate types of films that it can't help but engage an audience.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Apr 5, 2002

For all its surface frenzy, High Crimes should be charged with loitering -- so much on view, so little to offer.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 5, 2002
