Movie Reviews of The Pelican Brief [Blu-ray]Movie Review: Excellent movie & story Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a fan of John Grisham ever since I read his first book, "A Time To Kill". I also own every move that has been made from his books. I'm slowly but surely replacing the movies with BluRay copies. The version I purchased from Amazon is excellent. I highly recommend it. I am also a fan of Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington.

Summary of The Pelican Brief [Blu-ray]A New Orleans law student finds herself embroiled in a terrifying web of intrigue extending to the highest levels of government after she writes a speculative legal brief exposing the activities of a powerful oil magnate. 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
