Vinson Cunningham reviews “Presumed Innocent,” on Apple TV+, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Ruth Negga, and Peter Sarsgaard.
Gyllenhaal plays a talented prosecutor named Rusty Sabich. He’s a public servant in Chicago who seems, at first glance, to be living a semi-suburban dream. His back yard is enormous and begs to be grilled in. His pretty wife, Barbara , and daughter, Jaden , lounge and laugh under an umbrella, and his All-American son, Kyle , practices his pitching.
One of his thirty or so final unanswered texts to her: “Who the fuck do you think you are?” Now Barbara is hurt afresh but unable to leave him in the middle of such a high-profile trial. Negga is a sensitive performer who is sometimes let down by the material given to her quivering character. We know she’s been scorned and that she has an instinctive defensiveness about keeping her family together, but not much else. Her personality bends to meet the necessities of the plot.
