I also saw this movie first on the big screen, and knowing the outcome took away considerably from watching it a second time on DVD. One of the merits of the movie is the fact it keeps "who dunnit" well guarded until the end. Of course Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd are great in their roles, especially Judd. My admiration of Judd as an actress has grown over the years and I now think her to be one of the top females in the business. Also Amanda Peet does a great job as the "not so proper" sister and offers some laughs to the movie. There is some graphic violence and some sexuality in the movie. A worthwhile rental if you have not already seen it.

Storyline from Yahoo: A happily married, successful female lawyer is shocked to learn that her husband has a hidden past as a classified military operative, and is accused of committing a heinous war crime. She must wrestle with her own doubts about his guilt as she defends him, with the help of a private investigator, in a top-secret military court where none of the rules she knows so well apply.
