Double Jeopardy
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.
Critics Sentiment
Libby discovers Nick is alive when Matty calls him Daddy
Libby convicted of murdering Nick despite no body found
The biggest swing occurs when Libby discovers Nick is alive, jumping from the implausible conviction to genuine emotional payoff
Double Jeopardy starts strong with an intriguing premise but loses credibility during the conviction sequence before recovering with effective character-driven moments. The film maintains decent momentum through its chase elements, buoyed by solid performances from Judd and Jones, though it never quite overcomes its logical flaws to achieve true thriller excellence.
