Too familiar a plot...

A strong and beautiful woman, living the good life, has her world shattered by the actions of a man! She is then faced with fighting the system, and the law, to overcome obstacles that are seemingly insurmountable! Sound familiar?

Come on Ashley! I liked this movie the first three times it was released when it was called 'Double Jeopardy' and 'Kiss the Girls' and 'Eye of the Beholder'... for the love of God... do something even remotely different!!! All that being said, she is as capable as always, and the film is just about recommendable... but don't go out of your way to see it.

There's nothing severely wrong with the film, although it is slightly implausible in places, but it is just such a standard and routine plot that it won't stay in the memory very long. In ten years you won't be able to tell the Ashley Judd films apart.

One of the stupid moments occurs when the bad guys try to kill Ashley by driving in front of her car and spraying the road with oil. This is straight out of 'Animalympics' or 'Roadrunner' cartoons! Why don't they just shoot them in the head? It would be easier & more assured to work. I guess that way they wouldn't have a movie.

PS -- Here are two clichés that should be eliminated from movies altogether... The bad guy with a scar on his face... and the last second bit of evidence, hidden from us throughout, that twists the plot on it's ear!
