The Pelican Brief description
Another John Grisham legal thriller comes to the screen, pairing Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts in a film directed by Alan J. Pakula, who is known for dark-hued suspense pictures such as Klute, The Parallax View,All the President's Men, and Presumed Innocent. The Pelican Brief isn't up to the level of those films, but it is a perfectly entertaining movie about a law student (Roberts) whose life is endangered when she discovers evidence of a conspiracy behind the killings of two Supreme Court justices. She enlists the help of an investigative reporter (Washington) and the two become fugitives. The charisma and chemistry of the leads goes a long way toward compensating for the story's shortcomings, as does a truly impressive supporting cast that includes Sam Shepard, John Heard, James B. Sikking, Tony Goldwyn, Stanley Tucci, Hume Cronyn, John Lithgow, William Atherton, and Robert Culp. --Jim Emerson |

Great Movie, But...
|
| I must say that this is a great movie; great cast, great story, great direction. I do think it sad and annoying though that in this technilogical day and age, that I have to get up and turn the disc over after about an hour or so, just to see the rest of the movie. Come on Warner Brothers, you can do a better job than that; and with this movie you should!I would only recommend this movie with the advisory that YOU DO HAVE TO GET UP FROM YOUR COMFORTABLE SEAT TO TURN THE DISC OVER IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE WHOLE MOVIE!!!!!! |
