Additional InformationJulia Roberts (ERIN BROCKOVICH) stars in THE PELICAN BRIEF as sharp law student Darby Shaw whose querying mind gets her into trouble. A faithful adaptation of John Grisham's (THE FIRM) best-selling novel, this taut thriller follows the travails that beset Shaw when her theory on the cause of the deaths of two Supreme Court Justices lands her name on the conspirators' hit list. When Shaw teams up with reporter Gray Grantham (Denzel Washington--THE HURRICANE) they find themselves dodging deadly assassins in a suspenseful story that weaves complex narrative strands. The well-cast film also features a cameo by playwright-actor Sam Shepard (TRUE WEST).
ReviewsVariety - ...A taut, intellectual thriller....Roberts is simply terrific....Washington also impresses..., Entertainment Weekly - ...Roberts returns from her time off with a newly confident grace....She's as luminous as a dream of a movie star. As for Washington, it's doubtful whether there's a smarter leading man working today..., New York Times - ...A celebration of liquid brown eyes and serious star quality....[Roberts and Washington] make the movie shine...

    Great movie, very happy to have renewed our acquaintance with it :)

    This was a pre-owned DVD, in good condition, and we've very much enjoyed watching the film again. It's an excellent movie, with good performances from the leads. The film is in two halves, on both sides of the DVD, which I hadn't realised when I disposed of our original DVD!

    The visual quality of the movie was not great, but worse than that the MOVIE WAS INCOMPLETE ... finishing at scene 23.

  • Exciting with great actors.

    I read the book so decided to get the dvd. John Grisham is a great writer and every film made of his books are great. If I have one moan, it's the fact that the speech is, like lots of films these days, very hard to hear. All very good actors too.

  • Average legal thriller

    A bit slow and more complicated than it should be . I felt it was a bit of an endurance test .
