Presumed Innocent

Harrison Ford, Brian Dennehy, Raul Julia, Bonnie Bedelia, Paul Winfield

Rusty Sabich (Harrison Ford) is a bland, oppressed man who burns with a quiet, corrosive intensity that can flare uncontrollably. A Philadelphia prosecutor, Sabich's fire seems to have one outlet: his... read more read more... job. He loves prosecuting people. Otherwise, his life is dead-ended. He has a loveless marriage to a neurotic woman (Bonnie Bedelia) and an overbearing boss (Brian Dennehy) in a labyrinthine law enforcement world of corruption and twisted relationships. Then Carolyn Polhemus (Greta Scacchi) comes into his life. Lovely and seductive, Polhemus easily entices him to break his marital vows, but she schemes to get him to try for his boss' job. When he refuses, she leaves him. When she turns up dead, the victim of an apparent rape-murder, clues begin to point to Sabich. His blood type almost perfectly matches that in the semen found in the victim, carpet fibers at the crime scene match those found in his house, and most damning, his fingerprints are found on a beer glass in Polhemus' apartment. His protestations of innocence ignored, Sabich is put on trial for the murder and hires his biggest adversary (Raul Julia) to defend him. ~ Nick Sambides, Jr., Rovi

    An interesting movie. Harrison Ford is Rusty Savage, a prosecutor. One of his fellow prosecutors is murdered and Rusty is charged with murder. You have to see the movie to find out who did it.

    On second watch, a couple years after the first, I downgraded my rating a bit. T... read morehe movie is almost too obscure.

    I have to start this off by saying I LOVE HARRISON FORD! It's rare that he's in a movie I don't like. With that said, I'm going to go ahead and say I liked this movie too. It had twists, sex, dirty politicians, affairs and amazing acting. I loved the ending.

    First of all, I'll like to admit that I wasn't quite able to predict the culprit in this whodunit, which is something that doesn't happen often (almost negligible). Despite of that fact, surprisingly I didn't like the movie much. Actually, I didn't care who it was by the time it ... read morereached the ending. Furthermore, I'm not sure what made me react this way!!! My best guess is that the (horrible) acting department was to be blamed for it. While Harrison Ford was terrible, all the others were mediocre. As if everyone was sleepwalking!!! Sorry, not everyone. One actor was simply outstanding: Raul Julia. He succeeded in making the movie bearable, at least for me.

    Attraction. Desire. Deception. Murder. No one is ever completely innocent.

    It was a bland script with very little originality or depth. The acting was mediocre, even from Harrison Ford. I feel that with better direction and visual personality, it could have been a better film. It had too many cliches of the genre and didn't come off as suspenseful in th... read moree slightest.

    Let?s start with the title here ? is it a bluff? ? is it a double bluff? Well that of course is what you need to find out. This is a film that starts off on a fairly slow pace and remains pretty slow throughout, however the storyline, somehow keeps your attention. Not a great ... read moreWhodunnit Thriller, but one that?s worth watching if it comes on TV.

    Presumed Innocent starring Harrison Ford, Raul Julia, Bonnie Bedelia, Greta Scacchi, and Brian Dennehy is a very good crime drama. I have read the best selling novel from Scott Torrow over a decade ago and it quickly became one of my favorite reads...the film does it justice.

    Reasonably well handled thriller in which Harrison Ford's ludicrously monickered lawyer appears to be guilty of murdering his ex-lover. A decent twist and some nice moral ambiguity. A little cliched, but solid entertainment.

    Cool mystery story of Ford, on screen with that haircut, is accused of murdering his ex-mistress.
