The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Overall the movie were watchable, and also worth a watch, especially if you ain't got something "better". But that's also about it, good start, weak ending and a whole lot of uneventful tracking-down and no planning what so ever.The start of the movie were pretty solid, and the "double jeopardy" idea for a movie had some solid potential for a cool "sweet revenge" ending. I could live with the somewhat lacking credibility and thought process, at certain moments in the movie. I had hoped for a well planned murder, maybe in broad daylight in front of people who thought they knew him. And that no one could charge her. But "she" ruined that along the way with her actions, to break her parole and almost killing her parole-officer, because even if she had gotten away with the murder, she would still be charged with assault and breaking parole and potentially having to serve her full sentence anyway (regardsless of being innocent). And so sadly the ending were in a sense drawn out, and were also quite undramatic and suddenly he were dead and the movie was over. But overall the movie were a letdown, i hoped for more, but got a weak ending.

(Originally reviewed: 12/01/2017) Ashley Judd stars in an at times unbelievable yet entertaining little thriller. This is the first time I have seen her in a lead role and I must say she handle's herself pretty well. Tommy Lee Jones is of course also in this picture, nobody knows this kind of role quite like him, he plays a similar role to the one he played in films like The Fugitive and U.S Marshals, only this time he's not in charge of the investigation. The rest of the cast do their parts quite well too, even her husband (Bruce Greenwood) who may come off as a prize jerk. The story may not be original as we have all seen many thrillers where someone is wrongly accused and goes to prison and then wants his or her revenge, but it all depends on its entertainment value, it's quality or if the acting is good, and here it's fairly good and rather entertaining. There a few noticeable flaws however, such as its lack of originality, the usual predictable clichés and ridiculous twists that I for one couldn't really shout genius at, with the exception of one rather decent one towards the end involving an exchange sequence. Also most of us have gathered that you should not turn your back after you have just blackmailed someone for a lot of money, there hardly going to be fine with it. Overall though, I enjoyed Double Jeopardy, it's fairly well crafted and well aware of its purpose; on this note it succeeds.

Very briefly, Ashley Judd is married to Greenwood, apparently happily. They have one infant. Gish is their best friend. Greenwood fakes his own murder after setting the stage for the arrest and conviction of Judd. She accidentally discovers that Greenwood and Gish have betrayed her and run off with the kid.Six years go by. Judd is paroled under the supervision of the hard-nosed Tommy Lee Jones. But she skips, and by means of some tricks discovers that Greenwood has murdered Gish and moved to New Orleans where he is now a pillar of the community. This greatly irritates Judd, who tracks him down, with Jones in hot pursuit.There are some pretty good action sequences. It's not often an escaped prisoner, manacled to a car door, will start the car and race it off the ferry's aft ramp. And there are other exciting moments. At one point, Judd is knocked out and wakes up to find herself locked into a coffin in one of those above-ground mausoleums in New Orleans' famous All Saints Cemetery.Judd isn't bad. She gets the job done. But she's been able to do more than that in some of her other work, most notably "Heat." Still, it's enthralling to witness her features at times turn into a pageant of fleeting expressions. Tommy Lee Jones, an inventive actor, is more or less wasted in a reprise of his role as the obsessed and gelid representative of justice in "The Fugitive, some five or six years earlier. Too bad.As thrillers go, this one isn't as repulsive as many others. Is there a car chase? Are you kidding? The "double jeopardy" business is a lot of hooey. The attempt to jack up suspense -- leaving open the question of whether Judd will walk up to her delinquent husband and blow his brains out in public -- interferes with the purer motive that these commercial enterprises require -- namely, a mother's desire to raise her baby.

Tommy Lee Jones and Ashley Judd team up in a story where happily married Libby Parsons (Judd) finds her financial-troubled husband Nick (Bruce Greenwood) missing. An investigation leads to the conviction of Libby for murdering Nick to obtain the insurance policy he had. While in prison, Libby learns Nick is still alive and had framed her. Therefore, after being paroled she escapes probation officer Travis (Tommy Lee Jones) to look for Nick, with Travis hot on her trail.This movie combines the tension of Judd's "Kiss The Girls" and Jones' "The Fugitive" to provide a movie that is double the mystery and suspense, captivating an audience and keeping the movie's momentum strong. The tension builds in one scene after the other to its action-packed climax, from the moment Libby finds her husband missing to her struggling to cope in prison, and to her avoiding her probation officer to her attempting to track down her husband.Movie may be a little predictable, and some of the plot elements are the same as the TV movie "Bitter Vengeance," which stars Bruce Greenwood playing a character that also escapes, fakes his murder, and frames his wife. But overall, this is another nice popcorn movie for a night.Grade B-
