But everything else about this toothless thriller -- directed, in a departure from the romanticism of his ''Driving Miss Daisy,'' by Bruce Beresford (with particular attention to the atmospheric scenery of Washington state and New Orleans) -- feels like a strained reworking of ''The Fugitive.'' And that includes Tommy Lee Jones' performance as a growly, drawly, drink-weakened parole officer who takes one look at dainty, well-toned Libby and, out of all his hard-boiled cases, announces, ''I'm gonna have trouble with you.'' Well of course he is: This parolee has been weight-training and putting highlights in her hair, and she's a mom. So look out, buster.
