Framed for the murder of her husband, Libby Parsons (Ashley Judd) 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 (Tommy Lee Jones). Libby poses a challenge to the cynical officer, one that forces him to face up to his own failings while pitting him against his superiors and law enforcement colleagues.

Audience Reviews for Double Jeopardy

  • Apr 11, 2012
    Quite an overused idea, the beginning seemed to take quite a while but then the main part (especially her jailing) didn't take very long at all and left me confused about the time span of the film. Acting was decent but nothing special and overall a very obvious film with no guessing to be done.

    I disagree with the consensus, I really enjoyed the film, despite some little flaw, the film proved to be a clever piece of work worth watching
    Sylvester K Super Reviewer

    Offers a few breathtakingly silly (but fun) action scenes, some decent dialogue and even a couple of good laugh lines.
