JUST FINISHED WATCHING: PRESUMED INNOCENT (2024)
JUST FINISHED WATCHING: PRESUMED INNOCENT (2024)
A horrific murder upends the Chicago Prosecuting Attorney's' office when one of its own is suspected of the crime.
TRIVIA: Though Jake Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard play adversaries, they have been real life brothers in law since Sarsgaard married Jake's sister Maggie in 2009 and actually get along great.
Bill Camp (Raymond Horgan) and Elizabeth Marvel (Lorraine Horgan) have been married in their real lives since 2004. They have played a married couple several times before, notably in Lincoln (in which they play a couple who visits President Lincoln to ask him to adjudicate a tollbooth dispute but end up inadvertently revealing the Northern states' racism and opposition to the end of slavery) and in a 1999 Theatre for a New Audience production of Macbeth, in which they portrayed the notoriously villainous title characters.
MY VERDICT: At times this could be a little boring. It wasn’t engrossing enough to be my main show to watch and I mostly watched it in the background. Jake Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard are good as always but I think Ruth Negga owns the most captivating performance. Still not enough for me to recommend unfortunately.
