 The Pelican Brief, 2007-01-12
Living in the area, I love to view the scenery and enjoy the atmosphere of New Orleans so I never get tired of looking at The Pelican Brief. I even have friends that appear as "extras" in this movie. I am extremely disappointed in the DVD. It has to be truned over to view the second half of the movie.

 Pelican Brief, 2007-01-10
The movie is good, but the setup for DVD is ridiculous. It's two sided and you have to flip over everytime. It's not in the 21st Century.

 Surprising, 2006-12-13
Normally, the script of this movie, in the light of such gems as "National Treasure" would only rate a 3. But, the plot and its various, and quite ingenious twists and turns are quite deserving of a higher rating.
There is a bit of shooting, a few people die but it isn't gory. There is suspense, but not to the point of being a horror movie. I would let a young teen watch it, perhaps. If they really pay attention to the making of the script, their homework essays /might/ just improve a little!

Good Suspense , 2006-11-19
Darby Shaw (Julia Roberts) is a law student at Tulane who writes her own theory about who arranged for the assassination of two Supreme Court justices and why. The unfortunate thing is, her theory is right on the money, and once it starts circulating it results in a number of deaths. Investigative reporter Gray Grantham (Denzel Washington) turns out to be the one person she can trust and rely on.
"The Pelican Brief" is a solid and entertaining (if lengthy) political / newspaper / legal thriller from the director of "All The President's Men". It keeps its grip thanks to genuinely good film-making and an excellent cast. The climax is reasonably suspenseful.
Engrossing plot typical of Grisham, but for me the closing scene makes this movie. It's so much more dramatic than just having Darby and Gray ride off into the sunset together.

super julia takes the big easy, 2006-11-11
the bad news is: the premise is ludicrous, the government opperatives are idiots and if the cia really hires bad guys like these, we're doomed. the good news is, i have every bad habit known to movie lovers and can still enjoy the fast pace, likeable characters and overall entertainment value of this yarn. sure, cub scout investigators don't trip over the biggest murder conspiracy since hoffa, but hey! it's julia roberts at her sickly sweet best. perversion has it's rewards.
