Movie Reviews of Presumed Guilty
Movie Review: A Passionate Father and a Son Falsely Accused
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a gripping story of a family taken to the edge by mistaken identity. Martin Sheen plays a father whose son is falsely accused of murder. Sheen is frustrated by what he sees as his son's lack of direction and partying. Torn between anger and his obvious love for his son, Sheen portrays the exasperation of so many fathers whose sons have still not found direction in their lives. It is the age-old story of a young man struggling to find his own way, while his father just wants him to be like him. Why can't he just settle down and take at job where his father works? But the story takes a dramatic turn when the son is accused of murder. At first anguished with doubt, Sheen finds himself fighting for his son, taking the law into his own hands, to prove his son's innocence. The acting by both Sheen and the son is incredible and so true to real life. The son is equally believable and engaging, played by Brendan Fraser. If you are a Sheen fan, you already know the passion and intensity of this very gifted actor! So make your popcorn before the movie starts, because you definitely won't want to hit the pause button on this movie!
Summary of Presumed Guilty
Due to a clerical mix-up (his police file has been confused with another McLaughlin) Bobby McLaughlin (Brendan Fraser) is wrongfully accused of a murder he didn't commit. Despite his pleas of innocence not even his father (Martin Sheen) believes him. With a minor crime already on his record, and an incompetent defense attorney, Bobby is convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison. But a suppressed lie detector test that could have freed him convinces his father that Bobby is indeed innocent. Now he begins a fierce struggle to free his son from prison. "Presumed Guilty" is a chilling indictment of a faulty judicial system and an inspirational tale of love and reconciliation between father and son.Drama DVD Video
