Falsely accused of murder, jobless, sleeping on the sofa... the only way life could get any worse for lawyer Rusty Sabich is if Taylor Swift wrote a song about him.
The victim is his closest colleague in the Chicago prosecuting attorney's office, a single mother called Carolyn Polhemus. Rusty is assigned to the investigation, and neglects to tell police he was having an affair with her. His wife, Barbara , knew about Rusty's infidelity — though not that he was still obsessed with Carolyn, to the point of stalking her.
All this disguises the basic fact that Presumed Innocent has dated badly. It belongs to an era when single women having affairs with married men were automatically treated as culprits in their own murders. Whoever is 'innocent' here, it isn't Carolyn, discovered naked, bloodied and trussed up in her own living room.
Peter Sarsgaard, who is married to Gyllenhaal's actress sister, Maggie, plays Rusty's ex-colleague and worst enemy, Tommy Molto, a man who suffered years of professional humiliation as the office underling and is now out to extract every drop of revenge.Peter Sarsgaard plays Rusty's ex-colleague and worst enemy, Tommy Molto
