when you get out of jail , you can kill him .
" starring ashley judd , tommy lee jones , bruce greenwood .
rated r. double jeopardy is a lurid , prepostrous thriller that 's also one of the year 's most enjoyable .
it 's an uncompromisingly brutal , cheerfully anarchic , hyperactive actioner
that has a mission and never diverts from it .
there is not a moment here when the events on screen do n't have a direct bearing on the plot ; once the film gets going it never stops .
it has been branded as the female version of the fugitive and that 's probably a correct assessment of the plot , but the film itself has little in common with the 1993 andrew davis / harrison ford collaboration besides the presence of star tommy lee jones .
not even bothering with character introduction , director bruce beresford floors the gas pedal from the get - go and never finds the brake .
we meet , rather hastily , libby and nick parsons ( ashley judd and bruce greenwood , respectively ) a seemingly happy married couple , with a son matty , age 4 .
they go out on a sailboat one night , and after a period of some rockin ' sex , they go to sleep .
libby hears a strange noise , wakes up and discovers that she is covered with blood .
she follows a red trail to the upper deck , where she finds a knife and , out of astonishment , picks it up .
at that convenient moment , the coast guard shows up and libby is arrested .
her lawyer , a friend , puts up a defense in court , but though we know she is innocent , the evidence against her is too compelling .
her friend adopts her son and she goes to prison .
once in prison , she makes a phone call to her friend .
her friend gives her son the phone .
nick walks in the room .
little matty screams " daddy !
"
the phone goes dead .
libby realizes that the man she is imprisoned for killing is n't even dead .
she gets some advice from a prisoner / former lawyer , who tells her that since the state already convicted her of killing her husband , they ca n't convict her of the same crime again , meaning that when she gets paroled she can kill him and they ca n't touch her .
after a weirdly short amount of time , she gets out of parole .
she is sent to live at a house with other recent parolees , under the command of parole officer travis lehman ( tommy lee jones ) .
she sets out on a mission to find her husband and get her son back , which turns out to be much more difficult than anticipated .
she winds up tracking him all the way to new orleans where she finds out that he has long killed his girlfriend and her son 's " adopter " .
double jeopardy is based on an assumption that is legally false .
the law stating that nobody can be convicted twice for the same crime assumes that it is the same crime : same time , same place , same circumstances .
it 's not like it matters .
this is a rollickingly good thriller ; intense , exciting , fast and furious .
it 's silly alright , but this is the kind of film you just do n't question .
in some films , plausibility is everything .
double jeopardy , however , is not concerned with making sense : its sole purpose is to entertain , and it does .
judd helps the film tremendously in a difficult role .
this is her breakout box - office performance , and she is terrific .
she brings some emotion to what could have been a one - dimensional role , giving the movie a little soul to go along with its effective chase scenes and action set pieces .
tommy lee jones basically just reprises the role for which he won an oscar in the fugitive , but the movie makes good use of his stone - faced wit .
thankfully , too , double jeopardy refrains from developing a romance between libby and travis ; a subplot which doubtlessly would have interfered with the film 's story .
this is one of those movies where cops are the bad guys , and i took a sort of sick pleasure in that .
the sheer anarchy of the proceedings was nothing short of wonderful , as ashley judd kicks the crap out of every authority figure in the book .
after all the idealistic hollywood features featuring hero cops , deft fbi agents and the virtues of the american legal system , it 's great to see a movie that does n't so much demonstrate their fallacy as it delights in their failure .
double jeopardy is really good , but it is n't the kind of good that is remembered or recognized with awards .
it 's one of those movies better viewed with the brain turned off , otherwise , your brain will be busy ruining your experience .
this is a thriller that is n't concerned with being smart or plausible .
instead it diverts all attention to the action , which , this year , is second to none .

plot : derek zoolander is a male model .
he is also very dumb and impressionable .
for that reason , he is secretly hired and trained ( so secret , that even he does n't know about it ) by an underground fashion syndicate to assassinate the prime minister of malaysia , who wants to abolish child labor in his country .
will zoolander fulfill the dirty deed ?
will zoolander ever grace the world
his new " look " ? is this a funny movie ? find out below . . .
critique : there 's a place in our world for " stupid comedies " .
films which do n't pretend to take themselves seriously , are based on idiotic premises and filled with dumb jokes .
there 's also a time for them and many would argue that this difficult period of our history , might be an ideal circumstance during which to " relax " by watching something so completely frivolous .
well , if you 're in the mood for some seriously mindless entertainment , ben stiller and his cast of many have assembled one of the more original dumb comedies in some time .
of course , comedies as such are usually very subjective and i could see how some will see this film simply as stupid and unfunny , while others will grant them the " stupid " , but consider it funny instead .
i personally enjoyed it for the most part , cracked up loudly during a couple of specific sequences and loved the derek zoolander character and the unrestrained whipping they released upon the fashion industry . snap !
it was also nice to see several real - life models with small roles in the movie , not taking themselves too seriously .
and if you 're the type of person who likes celebrity cameos in films , well , do n't look any further because dozens of famous faces show up here including vince vaughn , billy zane , winona ryder , christian slater , david duchovny , natalie portman and many , many others .
i especially liked andy dick 's complete make - over as the masseuse .
hi - larious !
but with all films of this type , there is bound to be some stuff that simply does n't work .
a few particulars which did n't strike my fancy included the bulimia and " orgy " sequence with christine taylor , the break - dance fighting , and i also never get why they use real countries in plots like this ( why not just " make up " a country , instead of zeroing in on a certain people ? ) .
i also could have done with less of the taylor character in general , since she was n't all that interesting and seemed to slow things down every now and then ( more zoolander , dude ! ) .
but those few missteps were nothing compared to some of the more memorable scenes which definitely did work for me !
i almost pissed myself during the " gas station " disaster , absolutely adored the " walk - off " contest ( with david bowie as the judge , no less ) and appreciated
many of zoolander 's moronic one - liners ( " i was a merman . . . a merman ! ! " ) .
and i dare you to get his " monkey " photo shoot out of your head after seeing this movie
( " you 're a monkey , derek . . .
a monkey !
" ) i also really liked the soundtrack and the pace of the film , both of which zipped and zagged , and established a nice rhythm to it all .
again , it 's to note that this movie is dumb and not for everyone , but my guess is that if you laughed at the trailer , you will likely enjoy many of the quips in the actual picture as well .
if you thought the trailer was dumb , skip this dodo bird and go rent austin powers again or something , a film from which there is an obvious influence here .
blue steel , baby .

yeah ! ! !

what can you say about jackie chan that has n't already been said .
since the release of ' rumble in the bronx " back in 1996 ( the u . s . release ) , jackie has become a fairly recognizable commodity on america 's video shelves .
having made over 80 films , jackie has finally succeeded in bringing his style of action - comedy to the west .
his latest release , " shanghai noon " , is a joyful tribute / spoof of the classic western .
and by adding jackie chan into the genre , the tag line for the film ( " the western gets a kick in the pants " ) rings true .
jackie stars as chon wang , a lesser imperial guard in the forbidden city of china .
the royal princess pei pei ( lucy liu ) is set to be married to the obnoxious son of a nobleman from another prefecture .
unwilling to follow her father 's wishes , princess pei pei with the assistance of her english tutor , decides to escape to america .
but this is all a ploy devised by exiled guard lo fong , which will lead to the princess ' kidnapping and ransom . unable to take any legal action , the ransom demands are met and three of the forbidden city 's bravest guards ( played by cui ya
hi , rong guang yu , and eric chen )
are ordered to transport the ransom payment to lo fong in carson city , nevada .
chon wang pleads with the imperial court and is given permission to join the team , as he is looked upon as a buffoon .
on a train in the u . s .
jackie meets up with bandit roy o'bannon ( owen wilson ) .
he is much less of a bandit than he is a glory hog , looking simple for the notoriety and fame that being a bandit will bring him .
with his gang in tow , roy attempts to rob the train , when one of his gang murders the chinese interpreter of the royal court , who also happens to be chon wang 's uncle .
chon wang gives chase , foiling the attempted robbery , but also leaving himself stranded in the desert .
as the disgraced guard wanders through the desert , he again comes upon roy , who has been left for dead by his former gang .
buried up to his neck in the desert , roy pleads with chon to dig him out .
chon demands to know where carson city is .
roy directs him , and chon leaves .
but not before sticking two chopsticks into roy 's mouth and telling him to dig himself .
chon soon finds himself confronted by angry crow warriors , a friendly sioux tribe , gunslingers , a horse that thinks and behaves like a dog and an indian bride ( brandon merrill ) , before once again running into roy .
"
shanghai noon " is just good fun .
the chemistry between the cast is remarkable .
the performances are all acceptable within the whimsical levels of the film .
jackie 's performance is as good as anything he 's done before
.
he 's not called on to do much acting here , as the character is not written with any depth .
but jackie 's natural charisma shines through , and his comic timing is so perfect , both physically and ( surprise ) verbally that once again he commands the screen whenever he is on .
owen wilson , last seen in the embarrassing remake of " the haunting " , gives a good natured performance as roy o'bannon .
his innocence is refreshing and fun .
a bad guy that 's not really bad .
his scenes with jackie are some of the best bits of comic dueling since martin and lewis .
lucy liu as princess pei pei is given little to do in the script , but for a change does not play a nymphet or some other deviant .
the character is a noble woman of status and wealth , but finds a greater cause as a result of her own imprisonment .
the rest of the performances are all broadly drawn comic performances .
nothing here is realistic , mind you .
"
shanghai noon " is first and foremost a light , jovial film .
and the performances match that style with ease .
the cinematography by dan mindel is gorgeous .
using calgary , alberta as the prime location .
mr .
mindel is able to create a lush , romantic western feel to the film .
nothing here really looks like nevada , but the locations are so beautifully shot and staged , the film can be looked upon as a loving tribute to earlier films of the genre .
and as such , the script by alfred gough and miles millar plays fast and loose with history , but with reverence to past films .
homage to such films as " high noon " ( obviously ) , " red river " and most notably " butch cassidy & the sundance kid " all bring a sense of nostalgia to the film .
it is a comforting experience .
at a time when the western is considered either old hat or irrelevant , here is a film that embraces those old attitudes and
( dare i say ) clich ?
s and manages to make them palatable and refreshing .
here is a film that is not contemptuous of the genre .
this is the purest " horse opera " since the days of george o'brian or john wayne .
director tom dey has crafted a loving tribute to hollywood 's past .
in this , his first film mr .
dey shows both a love of character and of craftsmanship that is refreshing to see .
nothing here really stands out , or takes one 's attention away from the story or action .
and that is as it should be , when jackie chan is your star .
and what of the action and stunts .
well , while not up to a level of " drunken master 2 " or any of jackie 's hong kong films , " shanghai noon " is miles ahead
of anything jackie has done in an american film before .
his timing , choreography , and creativity are still as sharp as ever .
jackie even gets to recreate a few scenes from his earlier films ( obvious to those of us that have seen those films , but refreshingly fun for those unfamiliar ) .
finally jackie can honestly say , that he has made an u . s . , his way and incorporating his style .
to sum up , " shanghai noon " is a fun summer confection .
not too heavy and not too light .
a fun and entertaining film that the whole family can enjoy ( parents be advised there are scenes of smoking , drunkenness and peyote use ) .
an enjoyable and charming film that can and will be enjoyed again and again .
