Summary: Great Premise...
Review: ...Terrible movie. Ashley Judd holds your attention but the script has a lot of holes, Jones is playing his "Fugitive" role again as he has too many times before. There are a few well done action scenes, but that is about it...Otherwise this is one of the worst of its kind. Do not buy this film. There are too many other better films in this genre.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: No surprises, but fast-paced script and good photography
Review: This 1999 film stars Ashley Judd as a woman who is convicted of killing her husband. His body is never found and the audience knows she's been framed. While she's in prison she finds out she can never be tried for the same crime twice, so when she gets out she goes hunting for him. Naturally there is a darling little child involved and naturally our heart goes out to the woman who's been terribly wronged. Tommy Lee Jones is cast as her parole officer who runs a half-way house. She spends a lot of time running away from him and this leads to some wonderful chase scenes. At one point they are both underwater after she's been handcuffed inside a car.

There are no real surprises in the film, just some fine acting, good photography and a fast-paced script that throws Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Jones into conflict. In spite of the formula however, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Therefore, I suggest it as a escape film to keep you mind involved in the perils of the people on the screen instead of focusing on your own day-to-day issues. Recommended.
