IMDb 6.5 Metacritic 41 RT 28%

Skip it. Double Jeopardy is a forgettable '90s thriller that squanders its promising premise with clunky plotting and a romance subplot that derails the revenge story. Ashley Judd deserves better material, and you deserve a night with a thriller that actually delivers tension instead of melodrama.

Plot

Libby Parsons, wrongly convicted of her husband Nick's murder, thinks he is still alive. She survives the long years in prison with two burning desires sustaining her -- finding her son and solving the mystery that destroyed her once-happy life. Standing between her and her quest, however, is her parole officer, Travis Lehman. Libby poses a challenge to the cynical officer, one that forces him to face up to his own failings while pitting him against his superior and law enforcement colleagues, as she plunges into a desperate fight for justice, survival, and revenge.
