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

Arnita D. Brown (USA)
A young female law student endangers her own life while solving one of the most significant crimes in history. I enjoyed the script and acting of this movie a lot. It's very fast paced with the delivery of it's lines and dialogue. Roberts and Washington have good chemistry in this movie. This is the kind of movie which really get people thinking.

this is a great movie. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. Of course with actors like Denzel Washington & Julia Roberts, how could it possibly go wrong?

Johnny Sprocket (Albany, NY USA)
A good see for a rainy day at home, good movie to have in the library for the price, definitely have to pay attention to the movie or you'll get lost, its not going to be a classic but its a decent movie. Not for kids because they will lose interest plus some content they shouldn't see
