Presumed Innocent

PRESUMED INNOCENT (1990) - July 18, 2011
A well made legal drama/thriller about a DA who finds himself investigating the murder of a colleague he was having an affair with, and who is eventually accused of the crime (whether or not he's actually guilty is left ambiguous until the final moments of the film).  The first half is a bit slow, though it does pick up quite a bit once the trial starts.  In particular, Raul Julia gives a really compelling performance and pretty much steals every scene he's in.  There's also a twist ending that I probably should have seen coming, but didn't, and was thus fairly shocking.  ***
