Young Libby Parsons (Ashley Judd) is happy as a clam, and why not? She's got a loving, successful husband (Bruce Greenwood), an adorable son, and an island home to die for. One morning, after a romantic sailing expedition with her husband, Libby finds herself covered in blood. Her husband is missing, the boat resembles a murder scene, and there's a knife on the deck. One might stop right there and call for help; Libby, however, takes matters–or, more specifically, the knife–into her own hands, and the moment she does, there's the Coast Guard. Faster than you can say frame-up, Libby's been charged with murder and jailed, with her young son stripped from her custody.
Critic Reviews:
- " Siit back, relax, and marvel at the wonder that is Ashley Judd. " – Karen Kemmerle (Decider)
- " Offers a few breathtakingly silly (but fun) action scenes, some decent dialogue and even a couple of good laugh lines. " – Wesley Morris (San Francisco Examiner)
- " Double Jeopardy principally works as a suspense film for an early autumn evening. " – Keith Simanton (Seattle Times)
