Summary: dopey thriller
Review: If "Double Jeopardy" succeeds at all as entertainment, it is thanks to two basic elements: the luminous, feisty performance by Ashley Judd and the fact that the story taps into a pair of sure-fire emotional grabbers - the attempt by a falsely convicted person to prove his or her innocence and the wrenching spectacle of a mother being unduly separated from her child.This trite revenge melodrama is, otherwise, a fairly mediocre piece of pop culture trash, short on solid character development and long on credibility-defying illogic. Judd plays the wife of a multimillionaire businessman who is framed for the murder of her husband (an ersatz murder, by the way, whose logistics are never explained either to Judd or to the audience), spends six years behind bars and then, when released, goes in search of not only the husband she now knows is alive and well but the son whom she has not seen in all that time. Tommy Lee Jones co-stars as her parole officer who, at first, attempts to inhibit her search then, becoming convinced of her truthfulness, joins her in her effort to exact proper revenge. The film sets up its framework on a very shaky premise. We are expected to believe, idiotically, that Judd is free to murder her husband for real this time with full impunity, covered by the double jeopardy legal argument that one cannot be tried twice for the same crime. Any film that believes its audience is that gullible is unlikely to win over too many converts. Similarly, are we really to swallow the fact that a man as professional as Jones' parole officer appears to be would leave the keys in the ignition while his prisoner sits in the car handcuffed to the door handle while he goes looking for a cup of coffee? And would a man who has managed to eliminate two wives so successfully and establish himself as a pillar of the community under several different aliases allow himself to be fooled so easily into confessing his crime into a concealed tape recorder? Such lapses in logic permeate this entire film. The movie does deserve credit for keeping the Judd/Jones relationship a strictly platonic one, thereby avoiding the romantic cliches that could truly overwhelm the proceedings. And Jones nicely underplays a role that, in other directorial hands, might have lent itself to hyperbole and bombast. All told, however, I'm afraid that one's enjoyment of "Double Jeopardy" is predicated mostly on how willing one is to suspend critical judgment and go with the facts as they are presented. Unfortunately, the film is not tightly edited or suspenseful enough to allow the audience to ride over all these crests of incredibility. The result is a watchable, but neither compelling nor memorable, piece of pulp fiction tripe.

Summary: Ashley Judd: Weightlifter
Review: I don't know about anyone else, but if Ashley Judd had not been in the starring role of this film I doubt I could've tolerated it. She completely carried this movie from start to finish. Without a doubt this is the best I've seen her do since Norma Jean and Marilyn. The plot, while simple in premise, is still pretty unique. The idea of killing someone openly and not being charged for it is new to me, anyway. I wish the game of cat & mouse had gone on a little longer, with some sort of confrontation between Libby and Angela, but alas it wasn't to be. Tommy Lee Jones seemed out of place and ill-suited to this role, which is odd since he's done this role ad nauseum in the past. I don't know if I can recommend this movie to just anybody, but fans of Ashley Judd will definitely want to give it a looksie.

Review: I thought this was a very enjoyable movie for what it was, a simple suspense thriller. If you sit there and analyze it, duh, of course you are going to find faults with it, there are faults in every movie. Besides that why they call it Hollywood not documenteries.

Review: This movie is outstanding and quite timely considering all of the recent publicity regarding identity theft. Tommy Lee Jones & Ashley Judd MAKE this movie. I would definitely pay to see them together again. I'm proud to own this movie.

Review: We thought this was an excellent video -- we had already seen it on the big screen! We plan to buy it to add to our video library. Tommy Lee is effective as usual and Ashley Judd was a pleasant surprise.

Summary: Worth Seeing
Review: It was only a matter of time till someone made a female version of The Fugitive. Too bad it wasn't as great. Lucky for me, it was still entertaining. Double Jeopardy stars Ashley Judd (you know, the good looking Judd) and Tommy Lee Jones (you know, the guy from the male version of The Fugitive?). Judd is convicted of killing her husband and after being sent to prison discovers that he is still alive. Of course, she has already been convicted of the crime, so she is legally free to murder him now, as she can not be tried again. And so off she goes breaking parole when she is finally released, and off goes Tommy Lee Jones after her as her parole officer who thinks she really may have gotten the raw end of the deal. The film feels extremely similar to The Fugitive, perhaps a lot because of Jones. Whatever the reason, we get the general idea of how this film is going to go from the beginning. For that reason, we are very forgiving for the film's implausible episodes. In the end, Double Jeopardy survives and is entertaining due to the talents of its main stars. Judd is as always, enjoyable to watch. Jones is one of our best actors today, and he shows it again here by playing a poorly written character, but making it mighty enjoyable to watch. This is definitely worth a rent, but only if you've already seen The Fugitive.
