Cortechba Overrated

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Nelson Strang Ashley Judd is as terrible as always - zero charisma or gravitas, completely miscast. Morgan Freeman faxes it in and Jim Caviezel has little to work with. Every cliché of the genre is here and the whole adds up to less than the sum of its parts. Dull. Avoid.

nadinesalakovv Synopsis: A lawyer who is happily married finds out her husband is not who she thought he was when he gets arrested for war crimes. She stops at nothing to clear her husbands name.Review: Here we have a lawyer who ends up out of her depth when she has to defend her husband in military court, the overall plot is decent and the overall movie is well-acted and well-directed, there is an element to this movie that is slightly slow-paced, they take their time telling the story, i think a couple of scenes could have been excluded, but all in all High Crimes is a watchable mystery thriller with a shocking plot-twist.

DocJD I started writing this review at the 3 anticlimax but there were...I can't remember how many more. But what will be remembered is the repetitious melodrama and close ups of Freeman swilling booze, and Jude's tears. As always, even when the story line has almost fainted with exhaustion, Freeman's performance manages to carry you to the end of the movie...there was probably other fair performances, but they are lost among the dull wooden recitals of the others. You really need to have absolutely nothing else to do, like me with a broken leg, to watch this dribble...or perhaps to drink as much booze as Freeman does to make sitting through this movie a little more bearable.

OllieSuave-007 Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd, after starring in 1997's Kiss the Girls, reunite in this story about powerful attorney Claire Kubik (Judd), who finds her husband Tom Kubik (Jim Caviezel) arrested for the murder of Latin American villagers while he was in the Marines, with the name of Sgt. Ron Chapman. Claire teams up with Charlie Grimes (Freeman) to navigate through the military justice system in attempts to clear Tom, all while dealing with the deaths of key eyewitnesses.Like Kiss the Girls, this movie is full of mystery and tension that will captivate an audience and keep the movie's pace going strong despite its simple and predictable plot. Freeman is a calm yet dynamic actor, which is perfect in his role as he teams up once again with Judd, who herself gave an energetic and dramatic performance in her attorney role. Jim Caviezel gave a strong and mysterious performance as the accused Tom, whose unknown background will leave the audience guessing.With some good suspense and tension, it's a worthy courtroom drama for a popcorn movie night.Grade B-
