Foiled Crimes
Because Ashley Judd is not returning my phone calls, I went to see her new movie High Crimes. In this suspense-thriller, Judd plays Claire Kubik, a San Francisco attorney happily married to husband Tom (Jim Caziel). She becomes less happy when Tom, whose real name is "Ron Chapman," is suddenly arrested by the FBI and charged with the murders of nine civilians who died during his service in the Special Forces in El Salvador in 1988. Judd's husband claims he is the victim of a military conspiracy, so she finds "wild-card" military attorney Charlie Grimes (Morgan Freeman) to help prove Ron/Tom's innocence.
