April 11, 2012Quite an overused idea, the beginning seemed to take quite a while but then the main part (especially her jailing) didn't take very long at all and left me confused about the time span of the film. Acting was decent but nothing special and overall a very obvious film with no gues... read more

July 10, 2011Whilst I do not find Ashley Judd one othe more convincing Actresses, this is a film that holds yours attention and urges the need for retribution to take place. Cheesy in parts, but helped along by Tommy Lee Jones, this is an enjoyable film of the 90's.

June 23, 2011Ashley Judd is great in this film. A few twists in the film and a great ending.

January 17, 2011Offers a few breathtakingly silly (but fun) action scenes, some decent dialogue and even a couple of good laugh lines.

March 18, 2010Ashley Judd does a great job as a woman convicted of killing her husband and realizing later that he's still alive.
Tommy Lee Jones is good as her parole officer, and Bruce Greenwood is the dead husband who's not so dead.
Although this movie was entertaining and well acted, it ... read more -

February 5, 2010Tommy Lee Jones sticking to his "Fugitive" role substituting Ashley Judd for Harrison Ford.

September 29, 2009Had huge potential but it pissed it away with bad acting and crap story line!

September 28, 2009I think this is the third time I've seen Tommy Lee Jones in his "chasing the wrong bad guy" role. The plot feels like a movie you would write in movie-writing class. I wouldn't recommend this movie, but it has its moments in the details.
Critic Reviews

Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News
One of the dumbest chase thrillers ever to stumble onto the big screen!
January 1, 2000
Moira MacDonald, Film.com
A muddled thriller.
January 1, 2000
Mike Clark, USA Today
The result has a drawback common to such movies: too much screen time devoted to the conceit when anyone who has seen the coming-attractions trailer knows it already.
January 1, 2000
Roger Ebert, At the Movies
This movie was made primarily in the hopes that it would gross millions and millions of dollars, which probably explains most of the things that are wrong with it. Full Review

Jonathan Foreman, New York Post
Visual lushness is almost the only indication that the movie was directed by the same Bruce Beresford who made Breaker Morant and Driving Miss Daisy.

Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle
Beresford's straight-ahead approach to the material, as a heart-tugger, is 180 degrees wrong. Full Review

Robert Horton, Film.com
A generally dumb movie with a smart, appealing, gutsy leading lady.

Cody Clark, Mr. Showbiz
It has no subtlety, no shadings, and no suspense, and might as well not have a screenplay.
