Double Jeopardy
Directed by Lawrence Schiller, Double Jeopardy is a riveting thriller about a sexy temptress with a rare talent for manipulation and murder. Starring Rachel Ward as Lisa Burns and Bruce Boxleitner, this film tells the story of a handsome headmaster Jack Hart and his wife Karen and their quiet life in Salt Lake City. One day out of the blue Jack's first love, Lisa, arrives in town. He gives into her powerful seduction and a series of shocking events follow, leading into a hypnotic, erotic game of deceit and murder that could cost him his family, his job, and his life. Schiller captures the spirit of the thriller genre in this film through great direction, crisp editing and a smart storyline. The immense tension in the film draws the viewer further and further into the twisting plot.
Lisa will stop at nothing to get her man.

This is an ok tv movie. Not brilliant but if there's nothing on, worth a watch. The storyline is ok and has a good twist at the end.
