Acima de Qualquer Suspeita

Presumed Innocent was as good as I expected it to be. I knew it would be good just based off the casting of Jake Gyllenhaal and add Peter Sarsgaard, Ruth Negga and a bunch of other good actors and you have the makings of a good show. Gyllenhaal delivers evert time he's in a movie or show and this is no different. On top of that it was created by David E. Kelley who had a pretty good reputation when it comes to crime dramas. This is an edge of your seat whodunit series that will keep you guessing who the killer is throughout the series. I've never seen the original film or read the book but I've read this version is distinctive fr'om those. While it may not be the best whodunit courtroom drama I've seen, it's definitely worth watching.

It's an alright show, made by adults meant for adults, which is surprising considering the rest of modern entertainment.

But it's way too long, there was no reason to stretch this simple story for eight whole episodes when six or even five would have sufficed. There was no reason for scenes of the antagonistic DAs, there was no reason for Barbara and her boring bartender, there was no reason for the boring children and their teenage angst. There was no reason to pad the runtime by including half of the scenes that made into the show.

The show is more boring than good, and that's a shame, I could have enjoyed a story not made by and for millennials.

My wife and I binge watched the series and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. A stellar line up, led amazingly well by Jake Gyllenhal. All the actors played their roles tremendously. From the loathsome Tommy Molto to the amiable Ray, and the wife (Ruth Negga just brilliant) and kids were fabulous. The storyline was gripping and for once neither I or my detective wife did not see the twist coming. We were glad to see a conclusion, albeit unexpected. But it was so well done that it gave the perfect end to the series. I would go as far to say this is a must see series. Certainly one that I cannot recommend highly enough.

This is an enjoyable season about a murder and the process gone through from start to finish to achieve "justice."

Jake Gyllenhaal plays prosecutor turned accused Rusty Sanich and does a stellar job of it. The series.focusses mainly on him and his family and other district attorneys.working out of the same office.

The story is compelling, though at times can be slow. I think an episode could have been cut out of the season as a lot of non-pertinent dialogue was used as a filler.

Overall though, I couldnt help but keep watching and saw the whole season in one sitting.

Has some interesting twists and turns - definitely recommend to any fans of crime and courtroom dramas.

Presumed Innocent starring Jake Gyllenhaal is a deft remake of an earlier version starring Harrison Ford. While I liked the Ford version, the extra complications built into the Gyllenhaal version delivers layers upon layers of intrigue. I'm confident the ending will supply the sort of twist we all enjoy.

I would have chosen Presumed Innocent to watch based solely on the fact that Jake Gyllenhaal is in the cast. I have never been disappointed in a movie in which he has starred. I have Gyllenhaal on my list of best actors and would argue that accolade extends beyond this current generation. Good script or bad, Jake knows his stuff.
