Continuity: When shooting pool, Tom (Ron) has a shot to make the 13 ball off of the 5 ball in the corner pocket. In the first view, the 15 ball is between the cue ball and the 13 ball. When he shoots, the 15 ball has disappeared.

Quotes:

Claire Kubik: Doesn't it make more sense that some of those alleged witnesses were ordered to lie on their CID statements?
Major Hernandez: They were NOT ordered to lie.
Claire Kubik: How do you know?
Major Hernandez: I would know if something like that happened to my men.
Claire Kubik: And if something like that happened to your men you would tell us.
Major Hernandez: Of course. I wouldn't lie about it.
Claire Kubik: But major, you were trained and often compelled to lie about your clandestine missions. As I understand it, you're trained to beat a polygraph. Is it true you possess that talent?
Major Hernandez: I'd only use it if interrogated by the enemy, ma'm.

High Crimes... a ride through a losing battle!

If there's anything to comment about Morgan Freeman, I'd say this acting wonder always plays his roles credibly! His character here is very interesting. And I do also enjoy watching Judd's spunky, yet vulnerable character.

Morgan and Judd work well together to reel the audience into a great psychological game of trust. Gosh, great on-screen partnership chemistry! Would they prevail as defense lawyers for a man charged with a 13-year old atrocity? Definitely a must-see movie to find out!

This flick may have provided mediocre court room drama, but it definitely has its great moments to grab the audience's interest. Okay, it's not an ultra smart thriller, but it does work like an adrenaline-pumping pendulum, swinging between the implausible and the predictable. And the segments of red herrings, false alarms, dead ends, and reversal of expectations have kept me focused to the screen.

I'm not too sure whether Amanda Peet's role does much for this flick, and her presence does remind me of a fish out of water! Otherwise, I'd say this film definitely is character-driven, and every cast member plays his/her part solidly in the combat of a losing battle. Gosh, it's not easy to guess who's to be trusted! And that's suspense enough for me! James Caviezel is certainly the right actor for his role, and Adam Scott's character falls nicely into the plot. Nice camera shots too, that gradually swerve the audience from the dazzling beauty of SFO into the dusty suburbia, encompassing the military base.

I would certainly recommend this movie to anyone with a taste for movies that are nerve-testing!
