Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

alexanderdavies-99382 "Double Jeopardy" isn't a bad film in itself. You find yourself rooting for the Ashley Judd character as she races against time in order to clear her name after being framed by her scheming husband. Tommy Lee Jones is on hand as Judd's probation officer, in hot pursuit of his leading lady after she violates her parole conditions. He's a tough son of a gun who suffers no nonsense from anyone but he still has a compassionate streak when he realises that not everything is as it seems. The film lacks suspense and suffers from having a thin plot. It took a bit too long before the main part of the story came along. Tommy Lee Jones is more in the background as Ashley Judd takes centre stage. However, it is his performance that gives "Double Jeopardy" a big lift and he contributes every time he's in the film. Things improve when Jones and Judd team up to uncover the truth behind the events from early on. The final scene included some tension though and it finished the movie well.

wcgreen-65865 Switch off your disbelief before watching Double Jeopardy and you might enjoy this movie. Otherwise, it will drive you crazy with all the ridiculous plot flaws. For starters, the premise is flat out wrong. The first amendment does protect people from being convicted twice for the same crime. The same crime means just that.... same place, time, circumstances and victim. It is not a blank check for someone falsely convicted of a crime to go on a crime spree to avenge their wrongful conviction. In essence, this movie is just one improbable... if not impossible... scenario after another. Very little that takes place in this movie could or would ever happen in real life so the viewer must be assumed to be a complete imbecile to swallow it all without question.It wastes little time getting to the first impossible to believe situation. Woman's husband buys her an obscenely expensive yacht out of the blue to show his utter devotion to her. They spend a romantic evening on it yet she wakes up the next morning alone and covered with blood. She walks around as if in a daze and discovers a bloody knife which of course she picks up at the precise moment that the coast guard pulls up along side the boat. This was a scene in almost every episode of the Perry Mason TV series, and each time I would say "Do NOT pick up the murder weapon!" but they ALWAYS did.The rest of the movie is just more of the same. For example, when she finds out her husband is actually alive, why didn't she simply dial up her lawyer and tell him? Lawyers love to find out that their clients were falsely convicted. It would have taken him all of a day or two to retain a private detective to track down hubby and prove he was indeed very much alive then Voila! .... she walks free, hubby goes to prison along with her best friend/accomplice to her false conviction and she gets her son back. But that wouldn't have filled two plus hours of screen time.If you have two hours to kill and nothing better to do then you might consider watching this movie. Much better to spend that time watching much higher quality entertainment such as C-Span or the Weather Channel.

wolfens29 This is one of if not the best acted out JUDD ASHLEY movie however i have some scenes i don't understand...i was surprised how she blossom into a fine actress...she should have gotten her Emmy's... Opening scene, is the boat filled with blood and she woke up and her husband is gone... Next scene she was ruled out as the murderer of her husband... which i doubt the credibility since no actual Body was found , how could the court ruled as murder??? shouldn't it be Missing?? of course eventually, the husband was alive and change entirely his image and name and state of residency .... how about the son Matty?? did he changed also his name?During the funeral meet up with Matty?? of all the places why cemetery ? and go hide and seek?? of course we know what happens next ... Although this is a very mind twisting movie and i entirely love watching it inspite of some set-backs.. i would recommend it and you be the judge...

dddimora I never expect movies to be good as my extended family usually picks sub-par movies at best.But for this movie they hit it out of the part, I mean on the legal side it was very fictional. But the movie was very good.Its a decent movie I would watch it again.Good actors, Pretty good plot line, I do wish however at the end she would have just done it before he had a chance to do what he did.The acting is decent, but there's a lot of repetitive dialogue, and lots of boring moments.Overall pretty good movie 8/10 is my rating, don't listen to the so called "Critics" say about the movie it is good.
