Summary: Good Acting - Predictable Ending
Review: Tommy Lee Jones and Ashley Judd are two phenominal actors, and anything that either one of them is in is usually good. Double Jeopardy is merely okay.Judd plays a woman, named Libby Parsons, who lives a fairly nice life, until one day, her husband goes missing while on a sailing expedition. Libby is found covered in his blood, and he is declared dead, after searches turn up nothing. All evidence points towards her, and she is sent to prison for his murder. While incarcerated, she finds out that he faked his death, and is living abroad with their young child. Upon release, she meets Jones, who plays the caretaker of the halfway house she now lives in. The rest of the movie deals with her trying to find her husband and, more importantly, her son. Judd and Jones are truly exceptional in the film. The role seemed to be made for Jones, and Ashley Judd did a wonderful job as always, and she was said to have performed all of her own stunts. The real problem with the film is that it is extremely predictable. This is Hollywood, and about twenty-five minutes into the movie, when her so-called "great awakening" takes place in prison, it is so obvious as to how the film will end. There were some very minor twists throughout the film, but the ending still remained crystal clear. Overall, the film was okay. Besides the good acting, there were some nice action scenes. Unfortunately, the plot was too predictable, as it tried to uplhold the typical Hollywood standards way too much. If you're a fan of Jones or Judd, you will probably enjoy it from an acting standpoint, but don't expect much else.

Summary: Double Jeopardy
Review: This is a really good movie! I rented it and was going to keep it! Ashley Judd is an awesome actress. It's hard to tell what Libby (Ashley Judd)will do next. And you never know if Travis (Tommy Lee Jones) will EVER find her. I recommend it to EVERONE!

Summary: A waste of time
Review: The plot may be OK & Tommy Lee Jones is always interesting, but there is a great big void at the centre of this movie and the name of the void is Ashley Judd. As an actor, she doesn't hold the viewer's attention or create any interest. Who cares if her husband set her up? Who cares if she spends several years in prison for a crime she didn't commit? It doesn't seem to bother her, so why should it matter to me? Given a real actor like Ellen Barkin the movie might be worth at least a rental fee, but not with the present female lead. Give this one a pass & watch Sea of Love again.

Summary: A must own DVD!
Review: Double Jeopardy is a uniqe film as to story and plot line combined. This is an action movie and a story teller too with much to offer and much to see. Imagine that you've been convicted of murdering someone, now imagine that your sentence has been cleared and your free from that hole known as prison. Going by the real laws of Double Jeopardy, you cannot be brought back to court for the same crime you've commited. Well, that's good, but the person your accused of murdering is still alive, what to do? Hahaa, I'll leave you to find out. More times than not, this movie had me suprised, with so many twists and turns and an awesome cast to follow it, you'll be on the edge of your seat or log, what ever you prefer to sit on. Quite a nice change from the bang-bang your dead type movies and a nice pace change from the hack movies of yore. Great at times, baffaling at others, this movie has it all and it has so much more. Knowing that the movie is already ruin because of the all too much reavealing on the preview screens, you must rent the movie first, to see if you'll like it. More or less, you will.

Summary: Good movie
Review: I found the twists in this movie riveting. It starts out as Ashley Judd's character is living the perfect life with the perfect husband and friends. And then it gets all very dark with the startling death of her husband and her subsequent enprisionment as his suspected killer. What is frightening is how well it was orchestrated. She is an embittered convict, who knows that she has been jailed unjustly, but soon discovers that her husband is not dead. She is a smart girl that started paying attention a little late in the game and discovers that her husband is very much alive while she is serving time for his murder. This would be motive enough for most of us. Her subsequent release and channeled energies go into setting things right. She butts heads with a by the book Tommy Lee Jones who runs the half way house she is assigned to. Soon she is on the way for making right was was done to her. Several scenes and setups will jar your nerves. I'm claustrophic and not too fond of water, so this had me on the edge. I felt it was a good story with some decent acting. Interesting point that you can't be tried twice for the same crime?

Summary: glorified tv movie
Review: It is formulaic. It is predictable. Tommy Lee Jones does the "Fugitive" for the bazillionth time. But it's just plain fun. The movie is meant to be cathartic. Don't come expecting Citizen Kane, because, let's be honest, this was pure pulp. The wonderful woman is framed by a louse for a husband and she's going to go after him. (and he's officially dead and already convicted for the crime, so she has double-jeopardy protection) How silly, but it I enjoyed it.

Summary: good, but not good enough
Review: Good plot for an average suspense drama, but there was the potential for better twists. Being a relatively serious Tommy Lee Jones fan, I'm always rather critical of his performances. If you're looking for the next 'Fugitive' or even 'U.S. Marshals', chances are good that you'll be left a little disappointed.

Summary: Nice story, not watchable more than twice though!
Review: In all, this is a nice to watch film. It kinda reminds the Tommy Lee Jones classics The Fugitive and US Marshals, but Judd's interesting quest to find her betraying husband keeps us up to pace, really eager to see what she'll do when she finds him! Or will Jones find her first? So, in all, it's a good film, but both the Fugitive and US Marshals rate better than this one!

Summary: Action packed and Ashley Judd is wonderful.
Review: The movie was action packed and despite the somewhat troubling idea that you could kill someone and get away with it, this movie is well acted, well written and a wonderful use of Tommy Lee Jones, and Ashley Judd. You do need to pay attention or you might get lost in the plot. Some parts of the movie don't make sense logically, but why do you watch movies? To be entertained, and this movie does just that.

Summary: Never Underestimate the Power of a Woman!
Review: Ashley Judd got "on the map" with this thriller about a woman whose husband fakes his own death so that she gets a murder wrap. Judd goes to jail, but soon learns that her husband is alive, living with her best friend, raising Judd's young son (who was told his mommie had died). Furious, she plans to get even. Other prison inmates give her the perfect plan: Play the remorseful murderess and wait for your chance to convince the first parole board -- 6 years pass. Judd is released. Knowing that she has already served her sentence for murder, she could "shoot her husband in the middle of Mardi Gras and the law couldn't touch her". Enter Tommy Lee Jones, Judd's parole officer. The next few days are an action packed roller coaster ride. The ending is somewhat predictable, yet satisfying. This is an excellent thriller, not a 5-star, but a solid 4!
