Review of The Pelican Brief (1993) by Elizabeth H — 29 Oct 2009
A thriller that lives up to its name, based on a novel it is centred around a law student who works on a paper about a conspiracy around the killings of two court justices. however the papers reaches goverment officials who take it serious and have to keep her quiet. She then journeys around America looking for some guidance and more insight into the conspiracy and she comes across an assasin along the way and a just as curious reporter who decides to help.
Its a supprisingly good and thought provoking story which keeps a quick pace and gives information at the right time to the sudience, it has satisfactory cinematography which I supose is expected for a film depending more on the script, idea and actung.
The acting is very good, Julia Roberts gives a grand and believable performance and has great chemistry with the impecable Denzel Washington.
There are no major flaws in this film as it held my attention with such a deep and political plot.
