Before Judd is let loose on parole, an inmate, who seems to have been a former lawyer, tells Judd that she can kill her husband without any more harm. Since she's been convicted of killing him once, she can't be tried again. Now that doesn't mean that you can just go fill him full of lead in the middle of the street. It just means she can't be prosecuted for the same crime.

There are many flaws in this movie. Tommy Lee Jones is one of them. He sleepwalks through another role. Will someone tell this guy to let another person chase the fugitive? It seems in his last few roles that he's always chasing something. Whether it is Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes, aliens, or Judd. Another flaw is the movie's beginning. It is supposed to set up the things to come. Instead of letting us get a chance to get to know Judd, the movie speeds through the first 15 minutes without hitting the brakes. At one minute, we find Judd covered in blood. The next she's crying over her husband's disappearance. Then she's on the stand claiming "I didn't kill my husband!"

What makes the movie worth the matinee price is Judd. She's believable in her unfortunate role. She won't stop until she gets her son. Aside from her looks, she isn't a bad actress. All she needs is to stay away from movies like these, and pick something else that has a little more energy.
