Double Jeopardy (1999) *

Directed by Bruce Beresford. With Ashley Judd, Tommy Lee Jones, and Bruce Greenwood. Ridiculously contrived, badly directed thriller about a beautiful young woman (Judd) falsely convicted of murdering her husband. Having spent six years in prison, she is determined to settle the score, knowing she can't be convicted again for the same crime. There might be a feminist message buried underneath this pile of cliches, but digging it up is a fairly hopeless exercice.
