Cinemystery, your source for information on TV series, made-for-television movies, and films adapted from novels of mystery and suspense, which are now available on DVD or Blu-ray disc, is profiling two new budget re-releases scheduled for this week.
— ◊ —
Adapted from the legal thriller Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow. Directed by Alan J. Pakula.
Originally released in theaters in July 1990, the film stars Harrison Ford as district attorney Rusty Sabich, who finds himself accused of the murder of a lawyer with whom he's been secretly having an affair, a case he's also been assigned to prosecute. His career is destroyed when his superior, Raymond Horgan (Brian Dennehy), who is also a credible suspect, sets him up for the fall.
Presumed Innocent runs 125 minutes and is rated R.
— ◊ —
Adapted and directed by Michael Crichton from the medical thriller Coma by Robin Cook.
Originally released in theaters in January 1978, the film stars Genevieve Bujold as Dr. Susan Wheeler, whose friend goes in for some minor surgery but never comes out of anesthesia, slipping instead into a coma. Her investigation reveals a surprisingly large number of similar cases, comatose patients who have been shipped off to an institute that cares for them -- but is really a front for black market body parts.
Coma runs 113 minutes and is rated PG.
