Double Jeopardy

ThrillerCrimeMystery

Directed by Bruce Beresford

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… From TMDB

    They actually made a serious movie ago about Double Jeopardy in which a woman was framed for killing her husband, but he was actually alive and faked his death, so the idea is "well, you can't be charged with killing him again, so revenge is a freebie!" That's so not how that works.

    Double Indemnity (1944) is a landmark American film noir directed by Billy Wilder. Co-written by Wilder and acclaimed mystery novelist Raymond Chandler. It has NOTHING TO DO WITH Double Jeopardy at all. It is NOT a remake of the earlier film. That's why the screenplay is different.

    I mean, it’s hard to compete with the movie Double Jeopardy, the very premise of which is a complete misunderstanding of DJ. As someone who litigated a DJ issue for years the very existence of that movie enrages me.

    My favorite revenge movie is "Double Jeopardy" with Ashley Judd. He underestimated me. He thought my vulnerability and niceness were weaknesses. But what he did gave me strength just like yours. They aren't men; just man babies who enjoy harming others. We deserve better.

    1990s thrillers have become a real comfort blanket these past few months. I love that you're in and out in 2 hours, where Netflix would stretch the story out across 10 dreary episodes. This week's fare: Double Jeopardy. Ashley Judd is jailed for 'killing' her husband. His name? Nicholas Parsons.

    What do you think is the most egregious legal fallacy a movie or TV show has ever put forth in the name of good drama? I'm inclined to go with DOUBLE JEOPARDY, which argued that if you are falsely convicted of a crime you can't be convicted for it again if you decide to go and actually commit it.
