Double Jeopardy (1999) with Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Jones. Passable entertainment but nothing exceptional. The basic premise that someone wrongly found guilty of murder and had been set up by the "victim" then escapes from prison with the intention of killing the "victim" and cannot be tried again for that is fundamentally flawed as that would be a separate crime and would not be regarded as covered by double jeopardy,

I resaw the original Brighton Rock with Richard Attenborough as Pinkie - possibly the best British gangster film until more recent times.

 

The book by Graham Greene is set after an earlier book by him called A Gun for Sale. In this book, reference is made to Raven having killed Kite. Kite was the leader of the gang that Pinkie took over after Kite's death.

 

A Gun for Sale was made into the film "This Gun for Hire" with Alan Ladd as Raven.

2 days later, and no report back - judging by the IMBD rating of 3.7, I suspect Pirate fell asleep in the cinema and is still there

I'd only ever seen one Kaiie Holmes film - Batman Returns - and didn't see any of Dawsons Creek, so the first time I really noticed her was when I saw her some weeks ago in an episode of Eli Stone, and for me that episode was the the best thing I've seen on television this year. Here's her entrance in that episode:
