Jake Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, and Ruth Negga from Presumed Innocent
The Big Picture Every story needs a villain. Audiences need to know who they're rooting against. In most stories, it's very clear who the bad guy is. Villains exhibit tons of negative qualities, and they make it difficult for the hero to achieve their goal. They're straightforward evil, and the audience can't help but delight when they fail in the end.
Presumed Innocent DramaComedyMystery It tells the story of a horrific murder that upends the Chicago Prosecuting Attorneys' office when one of its own is suspected of the crime. At first, it appears as though Presumed Innocent is setting up Tommy to be the villain. Sure, Rusty has made some serious mistakes in his life, but there's no proof that he killed Carolyn, even though Tommy is convinced he did. In several scenes, Tommy makes snide comments to Rusty, insulting his integrity. These remarks make it seem like Tommy is the antagonist, and that he doesn't really have very much respect for the legal process, even though he would be offended by that assumption.
'Presumed Innocent' Gives Tommy Molto a Softer Side Close As the story progresses, the viewer gets more insight into Tommy's life. He lives by himself, with his cat, in a quiet home that feels more lonely than anything. Seeing Tommy's home life makes his hatred for Rusty make a little more sense; he's just incredibly jealous of everything Rusty has: a beautiful wife, kids, a large house.
