Double Jeopardy (1992 TV Movie)
6/10
Interesting for Utah residents
5 October 2022
Undo. A lot of recognizable Utah/Salt Lake Locations. Interesting if you grew up or lived in Utah in the late 80's early 90's. It's amusing to sometimes see cars driving down a sidewalk, or other areas around Salt Lake repurposed for locations like police stations and courtrooms. It's nice to see the old Salt Lake City police cars. Takes me back. Utah has never looked so good. It's usually grey and miserable. This must have been filmed in the early Spring. The rock climbing scenes are filmed on location and give the movie some production value. The movie is fine, the main actors are pretty good and elevate the material. But there's nothing groundbreaking here. The premise isn't bad. If the writing, directing, and story structure were revamped, and the cast was packed with A-listers This could probably be remade today with great success. Sela Ward and Rachel Ward are beautiful and Tron is pretty good too (he gets better as they add 5 o'clock shadow makeup). Sela Ward's lawyer assistant feel out of place. At one point she mentions having lived in New York. However, nobody in in the past 100 years would voluntarily move from New York to Utah. In 90's risqué fashion, they think that dude's butts will make it edgy. Additionaly some 90's fashion pops up now and again and makes you wonder if Nerf designed everything from this era. There's a lot of mentions of Utah and Salt Lake throughout the movie, but it doesn't really have relevance to the story. It also seems odd that so many characters are smoking indoors (and inside a school).
