| Tommy Lee Jones chases an innocent victim around
America who is trying to prove that she did not kill
her spouse. The Fugitive? Not quite…This is the plot
for Double Jeopardy, another Fugitive copycat without
the action, excitement, and good acting that...more |

| "Double Jeopardy" is terminally dumb -- it's probably the most insultingly lazy
and contrived screenplay of the year. Its relatively decent performances saved
it from my own personal sub-two-star hell, but just barely. more |

| Libby Parsons (Ashley Judd) has the perfect little life -- a rich husband, a
cute son, and a house on the ocean -- but when her husband Nick (Bruce
Greenwood) takes her sailing, she awakes to find him gone and her hands covered
with blood. Just as she...more |

| /Double Jeopardy/ is a movie that could've been much superior, with
less contrivances and better acting. The premise, based on the Fifth
Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, is an interesting one, but is
executed with too much sentimentality and not...more |

an entire movie on one premise and then give...more |

This is your definitive "Hollywood" movie, extremely predictable, following the
basic formula (a horrible ending), overzealous writing (meaning the writing was

| Underrated movies are a common reoccurrence in show business today. 1998's
'Hope Floats' was extremely underrated and was one of the best movies of the
year. We always get films that make big money at the box-office but critics and
audiences pan on them....more |

| Part of the appeal of cinema/narrative is the space between the scenes, the
B we have to fill in to get from A to C. It's about economy, allows more to
be said with less words. Simple stuff. Language is similarly streamlined,
and can be streamlined as...more |

| by Ross Anthony |
| "Double Jeopardy" starts out rather rough and lifeless, not quite sure how
to set itself up for the real story. This is where Libby (Judd) is framed
(or did she really do it?) for the murder of her hubby Nick. She's quickly
herded off to prison where she...more |

| by Eugene Novikov |
| Double Jeopardy is a lurid, prepostrous thriller that's also one of the
year's most enjoyable. It's an uncompromisingly brutal, cheerfully
anarchic, hyperactive actioner that has a mission and never diverts from
it. There is not a moment here when the...more |

| I think that at some point, Tommy Lee Jones, who I
think is a very talented actor, must be able to find
some work that doesn’t involve him reprising his role
from “The Fugitive”. In that memorable film, (to
which this one will undoubtedly remind you of)...more |

conniving husband after he frames her for his supposed murder. Ashley
Judd stars as the wife and mother who is wrongly imprisoned for

He was a fine actor who delivered one of the great monologues in film

| by Bob Bloom |
| Basically, what "Double Jeopardy" consists of is a chase. A wife, wrongly
imprisoned for killing her husband, is paroled after serving six years,
then sets out to find her conniving spouse (who isn't really dead, of
course) and her son. more |

| In Double Jeopardy, the stakes are high. Think of the plot as a rehash

the viewer’s attention, is a predictable and...more |
