*yawn*

This movie is not very thrilling and there are no plot "twists and turns" to speak of. I don't even know why this movie is called "Double Jeopardy". The trial ends 10 minutes before the end of the movie, when everything is revealed and the movie ends. A very stupid ending as well. The only thing that will keep you guessing is when something interesting is going to happen. All the actors do a good job and the director does fine with what he has to work with, but in the end, this could have been a good movie if only they had a good script to work with.

Interesting for Utah residents

Undo. A lot of recognizable Utah/Salt Lake Locations. Interesting if you grew up or lived in Utah in the late 80's early 90's. It's amusing to sometimes see cars driving down a sidewalk, or other areas around Salt Lake repurposed for locations like police stations and courtrooms. It's nice to see the old Salt Lake City police cars. Takes me back. Utah has never looked so good. It's usually grey and miserable. This must have been filmed in the early Spring. The rock climbing scenes are filmed on location and give the movie some production value. The movie is fine, the main actors are pretty good and elevate the material. But there's nothing groundbreaking here. The premise isn't bad. If the writing, directing, and story structure were revamped, and the cast was packed with A-listers This could probably be remade today with great success. Sela Ward and Rachel Ward are beautiful and Tron is pretty good too (he gets better as they add 5 o'clock shadow makeup). Sela Ward's lawyer assistant feel out of place. At one point she mentions having lived in New York. However, nobody in in the past 100 years would voluntarily move from New York to Utah. In 90's risqué fashion, they think that dude's butts will make it edgy. Additionaly some 90's fashion pops up now and again and makes you wonder if Nerf designed everything from this era. There's a lot of mentions of Utah and Salt Lake throughout the movie, but it doesn't really have relevance to the story. It also seems odd that so many characters are smoking indoors (and inside a school).

Watch it and judge for yourself

I personally didn't think it was the best, it was kinda dumb, but it did keep you guessing. I give it a 4 out of 10. Unrated contains sexual content, violence, and some language.
