Double Jeopardy
Overview
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.

Double Jeopardy principally works as a suspense film for an early autumn evening.
Keith Simanton, Seattle Times
Rotten
One of the dumbest chase thrillers ever to stumble onto the big screen!
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News
Rotten
A muddled thriller.

The result has a drawback common to such movies: too much screen time devoted to the conceit when anyone who has seen the coming-attractions trailer knows it already.
