Instead of waiting in line 2 hours before actually viewing Episode 2, me and the female of my intrest (not g/f) decided to go see "High Crimes"

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I've used this line before in reviewing something else, but man, this movie has more plot twists than a season finale of Law & Order. Basically Ashley Judd marries a marine and becomes a big shot lawyer who is about to make partner and is pregnant with her first child. Then one night her house is vandalized by kids and she calls the cops. Couple scenes later her husband is hauled off by the swat team after they found his prints in the house matching prints to another name of a person that was responsible for killing innocent people in some south american country. In steps Morgan Freeman as "The wildcard", ex-JAG officer who runs his law practice from his house with his partner, his dog. The very sexy Amanda Peet makes her presence felt in the film also as Judd's fuck up of a sister. The story unfolds into a huge military cover-up and blah blah blah...the rest would be spoiling the flick. The movie tried to not seem all drab and depressing. Many moments of comical interaction between the charcters is present. In other words, you won't be depressed the entire time. It is sort of a thriller though also. It seemed like at every chance the military or some other 3rd party was trying to kill the lovely Judd. Unfortunatly I wasn't able to enjoy this film to it's full potential since my back has been killing me all week, and the uneasiness of having a lovely young woman sit next to me also caused me to be slightly uncomfortable. I'll still give it 3 stars though.</div>
