Amazon.com:
Young Libby Parsons (Ashley Judd) is happy as a clam, and why not? She's got a loving, successful husband (Bruce Greenwood), an adorable son, and an island home to die for. One morning, after a romantic sailing expedition with her husband, Libby finds herself covered in blood. Her husband's missing, the boat resembles a murder scene, and there's a knife on the deck. One might stop right there and call for help; Libby, however, takes matters--or, more specifically, the knife--into her own hands, and the moment she does, there's the Coast Guard. Faster than you can say frame-up, Libby's been charged with murder and jailed, with her young son stripped from her custody. It's all cut-and-dried, except for one thing: Libby's husband isn't dead, and she's about to track him down. And thanks to the Fifth Amendment's double jeopardy rule, she can't be charged twice for his murder.
Double Jeopardy has a singularly seductive revenge premise and, in Judd, one of the most seductive leading ladies to grace the silver screen in recent years. So then why does this thriller feel like it came from the bottom of the Lifetime television movie barrel? Instead of taking a gritty, hard-boiled approach, the film plays up all of Libby's mushy emotions--tellingly, the director here is Bruce Beresford, whose best film, Driving Miss Daisy, is as far from thriller territory as you can get. No matter how stoically or deviously Judd plays her, Libby comes across as a soccer mom with a slight taste for blood. Only in a few scenes, specifically when she tracks her wily husband to his new identity in New Orleans, does Judd get to strut her stuff, stealing an evening gown and crashing his charity auction. Most of the time, though, this thriller offers only a smattering of suspense. Well, at least like Libby, the filmmakers can't be condemned twice for the same crime. With Tommy Lee Jones duplicating his Fugitive role, as Libby's conscientious parole officer. --Mark Englehart

- so what if it's not realistic?Life is good for Libby Parsons (Ashley Judd)--until she wakes up on a boat, covered in blood and finds herself in prison for the murder of her husband, though his body's never found. She gives custody of their son to her best friend.
Then the friend stops bringing her son to visit, and Libby finally tracks her down on the phone...and hears her son saying "daddy." Of course, nobody will listen to her claims, so she takes the advice of a (literal) jailhouse lawyer who tells her about double ... Read More

- Good thriller--and Excellent anamorphic widescreen transfer to DVDThis is a good, suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat thriller. Good casting, good performances from Tommy Lee Jones and Ashely Judd--and--a an excellent anamorphic, widecrseen, enhanced for 16x9 high defintion TV, transfer to DVD. Sharp, crisp images with great colors--looks great on a large screen, high definition TV, played on a DVD player that can "upconvert". I watched this on a 46" Samsung LCD TV, played on a 1080p HD DVD player. You will not be disappointed with the video and audio quality of this DVD. ... Read More

- Double Jeopardy.........A decent thriller that leaves you feeling you just watched a great movie! One of my favorites.
A woman is accused of killing her husband and is eventually sent to prison for the crime. When her son disappears she waits for her parole to find him. She makes the chilling discovery that makes this movie worth the rent or buy.
It has lots of foul language and a bedroom scene. I can only recommend this movie to adults.

- Excellent movie!I think that this is a great movie for several reasons. One, Tommy Lee Jones and Ashley Judd work very well together. Two, the plot is really good. Three, although the movie is a bit predictable, the way that things happen are unpredictable. Finally, the action is pretty good. I have watched this movie several times and I still really enjoy it.
