		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.
		'Double Jeopardy' was a surprise box-office hit in 1999 because it was exciting, had two immensely likable powerhouse leads, and one intensely despicable villain.

	Double Jeopardy (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The movie explores the ramifications of a misinterpretation of the legal doctrine of double jeopardy, which is a constitutional right in the United States granted by the Fifth Amendment.
		A character in the movie advises Judd's character that she could kill her husband in the middle of Times Square and the police would be powerless to do anything about it because of double jeopardy—because she had already been convicted once for his murder and served time.
		The "error" in the movie is made by a character in the story only, as the plot of the movie itself does not assume the truth of the erroneous interpretation of the principle of double jeopardy.

	Double Jeopardy movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		Double Jeopardy is a pretty good thriller that is paced by the terrific acting of Tommy Lee Jones.
		Libby learns about the concept "double jeopardy", which is that the state already convicted her of killing her husband, the state can't do it again.
		Double Jeopardy is Jones' first film in awhile; he is now one of those actors that makes a movie every once in awhile.

	DOUBLE JEOPARDY movie review (with clip, photo)
		In Double Jeopardy, his quarry is Libby Parsons (Ashley Judd), a woman recently released from prison after doing time for the murder of her husband.
		Double Jeopardy marks a change of pace for Australian-born director Bruce Beresford, a veteran of highly regarded dramas such as Breaker Morant and Driving Miss Daisy.
		Despite the quality actors and the complex characterizations, Double Jeopardy falls short as a thriller, mostly because it gives up its best secret -- that the husband is alive -- much too early in the film (and in the oft-shown trailer).

		In "Double Jeopardy," dollars values are doubled, and there are two Daily Doubles on the board.
		She also finds out, through means too complicated to explain here (the movie's not very good about it, either, now that I think about it), that her husband is not dead, and that he's living with former co-worker Angie (Annabeth Gish).
		This is a movie that wanted to be thrilling and ingenious, but that didn't want to put forth the effort to achieve those goals.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Double Jeopardy"
		Double jeopardy refers to the fact that one cannot be tried for the same murder twice, so in her case, she could now kill her husband and get away with it.
		A "video movie" is a film which doesn't have enough oomph to recommend as a "going out of the house and to a theater night", but can suffice as a lazy evening of lounging around in the apartment.
		I personally liked this movie and I am very picky about movies, But people who talk about the double jeopardy rule and say that this movie is not even close to being on that theme should research more.

	Double Jeopardy
		A fellow inmate and former lawyer informs her that upon her release, she is free to find her husband and kill him, since she can't be convicted of the same crime twice.
		As far as we know, Libby never bothers to verify this absurd claim, but given the number of laws she breaks throughout the rest of the picture, the central gimmick of the movie proves to be utterly weightless.
		Double Jeopardy is a cable-ready movie if there ever was one, custom made to clutter the HBO schedule for many years to come.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Double Jeopardy"- Comments1
		Double Jeopardy in effect means you can not be charged for the EXACT same crime twice; in this case Libby stabbing her husband and turning the body overboard.
		After learning the plot of the movie, I quickly related to the events after having been badly betrayed by a man but not on the same level as Judd.
		One of the few problems with “Double Jeopardy” is that it’s more of a drama than a thriller because there isn’t much suspense.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Double Jeopardy \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		The plot is something straight out of a made-for-television movie on the Lifetime cable network — but somehow even more divorced from reality, if that's possible.
		Instead, the movie is little more than a dopey revenge fantasy, with the best scenes ripped right out of much-better films (including the original French version of "The Vanishing").
		"Double Jeopardy" is rated R for profanity, violent gunplay, vehicular violence and a brutal assault; gore, simulated sex, brief female nudity and use of a couple of crude slang terms.

	Double Jeopardy Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		Murder may not always be in a crime, but "Double Jeopardy" certainly is, with the way it manages to waste three fine actors on a story riddled with plot holes and lazy shortcuts, especially when it is guided by the director who helmed "Driving Miss Daisy", Bruce Beresford.
		About the only thing that keeps "Double Jeopardy" from winding up in the trash bin is Ashley Judd ("Kiss the Girls"), whose compelling and heartfelt performance manages to offset the shortfalls of the script...
		Given that the movie's trailer reveals most of the plot, the only suspense in "Double Jeopardy" is derived from watching Libby track down Nick with Travis on her tail.

		Factual errors: Double jeopardy does not work in the way described in the film.
		The irony is that the double jeopardy gimmick isn't necessary in this film.
		The plot of a woman framed for murder who discovers that the person she is accused of killing is still alive and then seeks revenge works on its own.

	Double Jeopardy
		"Double jeopardy" refers to the law that one cannot stand trial more than once for a crime; this was placed in the Constitution to make sure that if you are acquitted once of an action, the prosecutors won't continue to retry it over and over until they get the desired conviction.
		However, the way this is interpreted in the movie states that because Libby has already been convicted of murdering her husband, if it turns out he's not dead, she can go ahead and kill him without fear of consequences (other than bloodstains on her clothes).
		Double Jeopardy won't be confused for a special edition, but it does toss in a couple of supplements.

	SurfWax: News, Reviews and Articles On Double Jeopardy
		There was a film released a couple of years ago titled "Double Jeopardy." It starred Ashley Judd as a woman accused of murdering her husband on a sailboat in the middle of the night.
		Though movies have taken something of a back seat for the actress best known for her turns in a series of similar thrillers (1997's Kiss the Girls and 1999's Double Jeopardy, for example), she still loves being in front of the camera.
		The centuries-old "double jeopardy" rule prevents suspects being tried twice for a crime, and is enshrined in the legal codes of many of Britain's former colonies, including the United States.

	Double Jeopardy dvd review
		My expectations going into this movie were that it would be a ho-hum action movie, but at the very least I'd get to see a decent performance by Tommy Lee Jones.
		The movie is pure formula, but it's a formula that works well and the performances by Ashley and Tommy Lee were both very well done.
		The gals will love it, but the guys aren't sitting there bored out of their skulls waiting for it to be over so we can get out of there and reap the benefits like we would be in a traditional chick flick.

		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.

	Double Jeopardy - Cincinnati.Com
		Double Jeopardy is a workmanlike movie that owes most of its appeal to leading lady Ashley Judd.
		She is by far the best part about this predictable thriller — which is, when you think about it, a misnomer for a movie that has given away virtually all its surprises in its ad campaign.
		When the movie suggests that it has a more diabolical fate in store for Nick, it seems on the verge of proving itself more clever than its cliches.

	Salon Movie Review \| "Double Jeopardy" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Some movies just can't make much of an impression, try as they may. That's basically the story with "Double Jeopardy," an intermittently engaging thriller that boasts a couple of good action sequences, a pretty, perky heroine and a lot of attractive locations photographed in bright, travelogue style by director Bruce Beresford.
		"Double Jeopardy" is pretty much marking time until Jones' character, a parole officer named Travis, can get into the picture, which probably accounts for the film's herky-jerky pace.
		Libby is also befriended by a tough jailhouse lawyer (Roma Maffia) who tells her about the Constitution's double jeopardy clause, providing that no one can be tried twice for the same crime.

		The answer is Double Jeopardy, a film that is anything but factual, but still manages to maintain a decent level of entertainment.
		The ending (as shown in the theatrical trailers, along with the rest of the movie) is not that bad, but it still does not seem like a suitable confrontation between the good and the bad.
		Double Jeopardy is not a bad movie but it basically could be better in every conceivable way.

	Double Jeopardy
		This movie was made primarily in the hopes that it would gross millions and millions of dollars, which probably explains most of the things that are wrong with it.
		Visual lushness is almost the only indication that the movie was directed by the same Bruce Beresford who made Breaker Morant and Driving Miss Daisy.
		Jeopardy has elements of an enjoyable film, and the various plot twists start out promising, but director Bruce Beresford never quite follows through, and is unable to effectively control the movie's pace and tone.

	Kinnopio's Movie Reviews - Double Jeopardy
		Commonly known as the double jeopardy clause, it's the key point in Driving Miss Daisy director Bruce Beresford's suspense thriller of the same name.
		Also, whether or not this use of the double jeopardy clause would stand up in court is doubtful (though one must allow for the legal wizardry of an O.J. Simpson-caliber defense team).
		The missteps in Double Jeopardy will be most obvious to almost anyone who watches it, and so, rather than suffering through this longish two-hour melee, it's probably best to find something better at Blockbuster.

		This movie is supposed to be a thriller, but the key elements of the plot are known by anyone who has seen the trailer or one of the promotional commercials.
		We are to believe her character undergoes some kind of transformation during the movie, especially during her stint in prison, but the main way this is demonstrated is by us seeing her do laps around the prison yard in the rain while another inmate intones "that woman must be driven by pure hate".
		Perhaps the movie could have been saved by an effective bad guy, but Bruce Greenwood's character and performance is extremely bland and uninvolving.

		In the movie (this is all in the trailer, so I'm not giving anything away), the heroine is convicted of killing her husband, who later turns out to be alive.
		The movie tells us that she cannot be convicted of killing him again, so she is free to murder him in broad daylight.
		The doctrine of double jeopardy does exist, and it basically says that you cannot be tried for the same crime twice.

		Except for the dull title, the movie is near perfect: entertaining, instructive, emotional, expertly directed and funny.
		The movie, directed by Steven Soderbergh, long a favorite of actors and film buffs, is just as pleasing, and should be his first blockbuster hit.
		Though the movie is really about Erin, by the end we are quite involved in the suit and concerned for the victims -- such as Donna (Marg Helgenberger, of China Beach) as a woman who pays a great price for trusting the polluting company.
