You'd think that Paramount, while spending God knows how much money to make and promote this movie, they'd get a screenwriter that realized that the double jeopardy clause wouldn't be applicable here. For one, if she killed her husband, she'd STILL go to prison again, for 3 reasons: 1. No matter WHO she killed, it would still be considered a parole violation. 2. If she killed her husband, the double jeopardy clause wouldn't protect her because it would prove that she hadn't killed him before, thus making the previous conviction null and void, or she'd be tried for killing someone OTHER than her husband, if it couldn't be proved it was indeed him she'd killed. Plus, since she would have killed him on a different date, time and possibly way than the first time, it would be counted as a different crime anyway.
Basically, these thoughts kept ricocheting around my mind as I watched this movie, totally destroying any possibility of enjoying the film. If you're going to make a movie like this, get someone that can at least open a law book to consult the screenwriter. Maybe then they could make a script that didn't talk down to me and insult my intelligence.
I give this movie 4 out of 10 stars, the only saving graces being the acting and editing. I really can't recommend this film just on the sheer incompetence of the script.
