Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Johnson in---Double Jeopardy (1999)




A great movie with Tommy Lee Jones, and Ashley Judd, that is full of action-packed scenes that would keep even the critics glued to the screen. It all takes place in the Wealthy neighborhood of Whidbey Island with Ashley as Elizabeth (Libby) Parsons, and Bruce Greenwood as Nick Parson, her husband.
                                                                         





Because of being in debt Nick parson has a plan what will send his wife to prison and leave him free to do as he wishes. And his wish is to have Annabeth Gish as Ashley Green to look after Libby and Nick’s four-year-old son Matty, while he wheels and deals making himself rich. All the while Libby is serving time in prison for something she did not do.                                                           

Libby made friends while incarcerated, and one of them was an attorney before she was disbarred and sent to prison for killing her husband; however, she told Libby when she got out, she could walk up to Nick in Time Square and shoot him; and not be arrested because you cannot be convicted twice for a crime—and it was called Double Jeopardy, a clause in the Fifth Amendment.            

Finally, Libby is out on parole after seven years, and she starts looking for Matty, while trying to follow all the rules of Tommy Lee Jones as Parole Office Travis Lehman. 
                                                                         



But she is strong willed and determined and takes Office Travis Lehman for a ride of his life.                                                                
Libby was left alone in the car with her wrist in handcuffs--that did not stop her from trying to escape. She would die trying to see Matty.                                                                     
                                                                                
 Finally, she was face to face with the liar. Sweat broke out on Nick's forehead because he knew Hell was coming--and now it was standing in front of him in a beautiful expensive dress.                                                            
                                                                            
Nick thought Libby was no more since he thought he killed her and she would not be found for a very long time. He could continue his rich-guy-womanizing while he strutted around like a bit shot.
                                                                            
Nick got the upper hand after he shot Travis in the arm and then tried to kill Libby again for the second time. Travis rushed Nick---giving Libby time to get her gun and finally she shot Nick twice. At last the evil-liar was dead.
                                                                            
Travis and Libby drove to Matty's school and surprised him. Matty told his mother--They told me you were dead. Then mother and son hugged and held each other in a loving way. Travis watched and smile from his car--he felt that justice was now delivered in the love of the two he was watching.
This is a very good movie—I have watched my old video so many times—and I am planning to watch it more.
