Well, this movie has the classic case in which the accuser becomes the accused, getting able to understand how it feels to be in such position. In the whole movie, many evidences lead to believe in the prosecutor's guilt, and sincerely, he doesn't seem to do his best to prove the contrary. The cast is decent, with highlights to Raul Julia, who greatly portrayed a lawyer doing his best. However, what makes this movie worth a watch is the outcome; since evidences all indicated that the murderer would be a guy, it felt extremely hard to guess that Rusty's wife would be the one. Also, the scene in which everything is explained feels quite tense, due to the great comes and goes that director throws at us. Besides, her reasons are WELL thought and intelligently written, and I don't mind if it was in the original novel or not; it simply works in the movie, so it deserves my congratulations. To be honest, this movie's novel has been standing in my ex-boss' camera (he is a judge) for long time, and I've always wanted to know what it was about. Well, now I fortunately do, and reading it may become an option for me in the future. In my opinion, "Presumed Innocent" is a great movie that adds a few steps to the genre, and deserved to be more known than it was.
