High Crimes

2002 · 1h 55m · Drama, Mystery, Thriller, Crime

IMDb 6.4 Metacritic 48

High Crimes has a killer premise—a wife discovering her husband's secret military past and defending him against war crimes charges—but the execution is frustratingly formulaic and overwrought. Unless you're a die-hard Ashley Judd fan or need a competent-but-forgettable thriller to half-watch, skip it for something with more bite.

Plot

A female attorney learns that her husband is really a marine officer who has been AWOL for fifteen years and accused of murdering fifteen civilians in El Salvador. Believing her husband when he tells her that he's being framed as part of a U.S. Military cover-up, the attorney defends him in a military court.
