The pirate CDs have renamed it "Fugitive III", after Tommy Lee Jones' "The Fugitive" and "US Marshals". Yeap, Jones here again plays a man of the law going after a, well, fugitive. And the case in point here is that the fugitive in question is the beautiful Libby Parsons, played by the talented Ashley Judd, sibling and daughter to The Judds singing duo.

Back to the movie; Libby Parsons has an enviable life. A comfortable lifestyle, a loving husband Nick, an adorable son and wonderful friends. Her life as she knew it ended when she woke up on a foggy dawn on her new sailboat, covered with Nick's blood and a bloody dagger nearby, but no Nick. Because she gets a two-million-dollar insurance policy as part of Nick's will, Libby is under suspicion for the crime. She is convicted and torn away from her young son.

Then one day, during a phone conversation with her son, she overhears him say 'Hello, Daddy'. The two words that send chills up her spine as the implications set in, she has been framed for his murder. Motivated by sheer hatred and, of course, the double jeopardy law, under which no person can be convicted of the same crime twice, Libby concocts a plan of revenge and to get her son back. She knows that her husband is alive and enjoying the booty of two million, having run off with her son and her best friend. After having served six years in prison, and is now out on parole, she sets off to look for her son, and husband. After all, if she's already been tried and convicted for the murder of her husband, she can't possibly be tried again, so why not kill the miserable creep for real?

The only person in her way is a no-nonsense parole officer (Tommy Lee Jones), who has sworn to bring her back to jail if she violates her parole. For such a talented actor, I find Jones a disappointment here. He seemed to act throughout the movie in pained looks, and has not expanded the character to a believable potential. . He was probably cast to invoke "Fugitive" memories, but then it's better to let some thing laid to rest.

The only saving grace here is Ashley Judd, who in her first leading role ("Kiss the Girls" don't count as a leading role, Morgan Freeman lead all the way) showed great potential of confidence and coming into her own as a brilliant actress in her own right.
