High Crimes (2002)


"You have no idea what it's like to see somebody you love killed right in front of you."

High profile San Francisco lawyer Claire Kubik (Ashley Judd) finds her world shattered when her beloved husband Ron (James Caviezel) is arrested and charged with the murder of Latin American vilages when he served as a Marine 12 years prior. He'd been living a lie with a false name and history ever since.

Claire persuades lawyer and former member of JAG Corp Charles Grimes (Morgan Freeman) to help with the case.

Eyewitnesses have died or disappeared mysteriously and the whole case seems to be a set-up.

Adam Scott appears as the young military lawyer first assigned to the case; Amanda Peet plays Claire's sister Jackie; and Bruce Davison appears as Brig. Gen. Bill Marks.

Directed by Carl Franklin.

Run time: 1 hour, 55 minutes

Rated PG-13 for violence, sexual content and language.

My personal rating: B
