About
You’ll probably enjoy High Crimes if you like courtroom-focused mystery thrillers with determined attorneys and escalating pressure, but Not for you if you want nonstop excitement or highly original legal proceedings like Kiss the Girls.
Pros: strong lead performances; solid courtroom tension; tense mystery | Cons: formulaic legal drama; some pacing drag; confusing midsection
