- "High Crimes" is a case in point: a competent, slick but overly familiar drama that feels like an amalgam of "Jagged Edge", "A Few Good Men" and Judd's own "Double Jeopardy". Claire Kubik (Judd) has everything: she's a successful lawyer, owns a beautiful house and has a loving, handsome husband.

KISS THE GIRLS stars Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman reunite in HIGH CRIMES, a movie that turned out to be a lot better than I was expecting. The previews made this movie look like a high powered suspense thriller, but I was weary about the plot and I was suspecting a thousand different plot holes.

conclusion: For the first hour and 45 minutes, High Crimes is a bedeviling, well-acted, thinking man’s thriller. Then it chokes. The film’s unnecessary, illogical finale sells out to a cheap plot twist that renders everything else in the movie moot. I like a red herring now and then, but this is one huge fish story.
