Pros: tight script, great directing, impressive acting Cons: none
Director Bruce Beresford has given us a tightly spun tale in his thoroughly entertaining film "Double Jeopardy" (1999). Ashley Judd plays Libby Parsons, a wife who has been falsely accused and wrongly convicted of the murder of her...

Pros: Ashley Judd's performance Cons: Ending was a cop-out
It's no wonder Double Jeopardy scored the number one spot at the box office its opening weekend; it had one of the most intriguing ad campaigns I'd ever seen. With some movies, you look at the trailer and say to yourself, "Ugh!" and know you'll...

Pros: Ashley Judd, some suspenseful sequences Cons: Bad screenplay
Imprisoned for the murder of her husband, whose apparently dismembered body was never recovered from the deep blue sea, Libby Parsons (Ashley Judd, who's very good) calls her little boy from a phone bank and hears him say this: "Daddy!" It’s...

Pros: Good Storyline Cons: Casting Tommy Lee Jones...They Screwed up the Storyline...I Didn't think the Movie was very memorable
I was very reluctant when renting the movie "Double Jeopardy", the storyline sounded pretty awesome but I was fearing what they might do with the storyline and how much were they going to screw it up. "Double Jeopardy” became a big...

Pros: Great cast! Excellent story! Fantastic Movie! Cons: none
Briskly paced and highly entertaining, Double Jeopardy is arguably Ashley Judd's best work, yet. Director Bruce Beresford shows shows that he's right up there with the big boys with this Blockbuster tale of betrayal and revenge.
Judd plays...

Pros: Great storyline & actors Cons: A little more development
One of the main reasons we rented this video was because I love Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Jones. I think they are both versatile and excellent actors and the storyline was very interesting. Probably the most impressive was the action and drama...

Pros: Two of the best actors that the movies have to offer. Cons: "Now where have I seen or read this before?" You are left with this feeling.
Tommy Lee Jones is a name known in every household in America. Is it known because of his talent? Yes, but now maybe his name will also be known for the making of Double Jeopardy
The term Double Jeopardy means you can not...

Pros: Good acting some interesting scenes. Cons: Contrived action scenes, overall very cliched.
About an hour into the movie Double Jeopardy, we find the heroine, Libby Parsons, (played by Ashley Judd) on the edge of a tall building in central New Orleans. She peers over the edge, desperately seeking for any means of escape. Suddenly,...

Pros: Good Acting, Good Cast, Good Action Cons: Story has several Flaws
First I want to say I did enjoy this film and would
recommend it to others.
But this movie has a bunch of flaws and left me with
several unanswered questions.
I save those until later.
I enjoyed Ashley. She does a good job...

Pros: action, cunning use of suspense, cast (good rainy day movie) Cons: several irrelevant pieces
I really enjoyed this surprise hit thriller from Tommy Lee Jones and Ashley Judd. This movie is hard to explain, but when you see it, I guarantee you'll be on the edge of your seat the entire time and go home grinning, because the good guy (or in...

Pros: Good acting Cons: Not the most exciting plot
Double Jeopardy is not the best movie I've ever seen, but it is interesting nonetheless. Ashley Judd as Libby Parsons, wrongly convicted of murdering her husband, and Tommy Lee Jones as her parole officer turn a mediocre storyline into an...

Pros: good actors and characters Cons: too predictible
This movie is boring! We rented it this weekend and that's all the money I would spend on this movie. Overall it was a good story line and a good movie, but within 30 minutes I had the plot completely figured out. I don't like it to be that simple. ...

Pros: If You Don't Think - The Movie Might Actually Make Sense Cons: Screenplay is Terrible / Trailer Gives Away Everything
Double Jeopardy contains all the elements for a good movie. Wait. I’m sorry. I meant TV movie. Because that’s what this thing feels like. Even its 105-minute running length is the average elapse of a made-for-TV minus commercials. Movie of the week is...

Pros: Fascinating Concept, Good Acting Cons: Fair Story Line, Weak Action Scenes
Why did I see this movie? Well, as a legal nurse consultant I am obsessed with the law. As a male, I am obsessed with Ashley Judd (now) and action films. As a husband, I am obsessed with my wife's happiness. Since my wife picked Double Jeopardy to rent,...

Pros: Very good storyline, keeps you on edge of seat Cons: no love story between Tommy Lee and Ashley Judd
Ok, my husband and I very rarely get to see movies at the same time. He works very strange hours, so alot of weekends he sits in front of the TV and watches 3 different movies at one time. But this past weekend, we enjoyed 2 very good movies, and...
