Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Kenney Madsen 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.

TonyMontana96 (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.

Robert J. Maxwell 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.

WakenPayne Okay so the one main reason why I sat down and watched this is because I was told it was a good movie and decided to sit down and take a look at it and despite some really REALLY questionable things that happen in this movie, I didn't mind it at all.Okay so the story is that a woman named Libby Parsons who is rich, has a family and is pretty much on top of the world. One night she finds her husband dead and she is the suspect. When she is found to be guilty she gives her child to her best friend and it turns out that a couple of months later they've disappeared off the map and when she tracks them she finds out that her husband was alive the whole time. She then finds out from a prison friend that she can kill her husband again and she can't be convicted for it or in any way legally harm her (Um... I'm not American but I'm going to call bullshit on this one).Once she goes on parole six years after she started doing her time, she then decides to set out and find her son by any means necessary, even by abusing her parole. Through this her Parole officer runs across the country to find her and stop her (Wasn't this almost exactly Tommy Lee Jones' role in The Fugitive too?).I think some of the acting was pretty... Well it was kind of on and off. I'm not just talking about how some performances were good while others were bad (although some of the supporting players do a consistently okay job) I mean with people like Ashley Judd. I mean at some points she did a convincing job while other times... you could tell she was reading from a script. Although to be fair I might consider this bad directing/editing than I would bad acting if they were okay with using some of these takes.And the writing does get a little weak in places. For example Libby's sole defense for not killing her husband is "You have to believe me", and as I said I'm pretty sure the loophole that she could kill her husband for real and there will be no legal repercussions is a really dumb plot point and there's a scene where she pretends to be her friend who adopted her son to buy a car (or learn her social security number) and a scene later we find out this friend died a few years earlier in the story... How come the Car Salesman didn't call out on the fact that she's using a dead woman's social security? It would have been better if that was revealed then.Okay now based on those complaints I think I should say what I liked. I actually think the cinematography is okay. The chase scenes are well directed and the premise is actually interesting enough to get me through the story and as I said some of the acting from people like Tommy Lee Jones is actually quite good.So I guess if you like something that isn't that smart yet has an interesting premise, good acting and good chase scenes then I would certainly recommend this movie. If you are looking for something else then I haven't really seen another movie like this (not even The Fugitive) so I can't really pass a recommendation there so as I said if you're looking for a movie that has a good premise even if some of the writing is weak then this is for you.
