‘Presumed Innocent’ Review: Jake Gyllenhaal’s Apple Adaptation Is a Snarky Take on the Harrison Ford Classic

In “Presumed Innocent,” the city of Chicago is rocked to its core by the gruesome murder of Caroline Polhemus (Renate Reinsve), a rising prosecutor in the district attorney’s office. But none more so than her closest colleague, Rusty Sabich (Jake Gyllenhaal). The race to find her killer becomes the political battleground of the season thanks to a vicious DA election, and the search for the truth throws Rusty into the courtroom, not as a lawyer but as the prime suspect. The clues have all begun to point towards him, and since he was once Caroline’s lover, Rusty’s battle to prove his innocence will be the toughest of his career.
