From the first glance at 'Double Mischief' one is reminded of 'The Fugitive' with the same Tommy Lee Jones as a policeman. Okay, here he's a parole officer, but that's not critical.
Except that 'Double Jeopardy' can be called as much a woman's film as 'The Fugitive' can be called a man's.
Because here the main heroine is not just a person who has been set up and passionately wants to prove her innocence and avenge her abusers.
The protagonist is first and foremost a Woman who has been betrayed.Naturally, each of us would feel hatred for our abusers, especially if you have been hurt so badly. But the hatred of a woman who has lost her husband and child is doubly strong. This hatred is more emotional and less logical, it is purposeful, but it makes little sense, only anger and rage that blinds your eyes.
And Ashley Judd, in my opinion, did a wonderful job as the female vigilante (Libby's role even somewhat resembles her Jodie Foster heroines, although you should also take into account a slight external similarity and a certain proximity in the choice of projects).
And as Libby drove the car! Amazing! Only a woman could drive like that. It's not so bad to hit a couple of cars and a petrol pump at a gas station (on a smooth and quiet road).
So, before us is a story about a strong woman, who is impossible not to empathize. And it is doubly interesting to watch the film, because in addition to everything else there is action and intrigue.
