Presumed Innocent | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The movie is plump with twists, turns and blind alleys. Who can be trusted? Who is innocent? Who is guilty?

Pakula's strong suit has always been his work with actors, and he's got a lot of good ones at his disposal. Ford gives a smart, self-effacing performance.

The film's densely constructed trial sequences are freighted with rich detail, unexpected turns and intimate insights into the criminal justice system.

It presents a more intriguing and certainly more complicated portrait of cinema's historic struggle with representations of female agency and sexuality.

This could have been a great movie, but, despite being a darn good yarn well told, the essential magic is somehow missing.
