Good Suspense — For the Intelligent Movie-Goer
I enjoyed this film very much. It is well acted, and has plenty of star power, with great performances from Roberts and Washington. The story is compelling, and the cinematography lends itself to excellent suspense. However, many moviegoers (including myself) will find elements of the plot confusing and hard to follow. There are a great number of characters, and it is often difficult to tell who is who — most of the “bad guys” dress alike and have similar hair, so distinguishing them becomes challenging. This may be a minor flaw in either casting or costume, making the characters somewhat undistinguishable. However, it also makes the plot quite intriguing, as the intelligent moviegoer becomes entangled at guessing just exactly who is associated with who, and so on. Still an excellent suspense movie — if you like other Grisham movies (The Firm, the Rainmaker, etc.) you will like The Pelican Brief. But be warned: watch the film in an attentive state, and be prepared to think a lot. If you are a lazy, sit-back-and-relax type of viewer, this may not be the film for you.

Pakula at his best….I love this movie
This is just a great ‘whodunit’ legal thriller. Gripping, intelligent, acting is superb, the story is well constructed and builds in this beautiful crescendo. It’ a huge cast and everyone is perfectly suited for their role. It moves beautifully, it flows like a movie should flow. I can’t find any real flaw worth sharing. Just isn’t there. I think it sets up Denzel Washington to continue in his escalating career as a wonderful character actor, a huge movie star, a big talent. Tony Goldwyn, since GHOST has this tendency to play the ‘bad guy’ but what can I say, he’s good in this film too. Robert Culp, I love his impossible character. Julia Roberts is wonderful as the young starry-eyed law student who stumbles upon things bigger than anything she ever imagined. I loved every moment of the film. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys good solid film making. It should be used in teaching film – how to construct a story, how to keep the story one step ahead of the audience, making it suspenseful and exciting without having to resort to unnecessary violence or sex to make a movie work. It almost breaks through ‘formula’ scripts as suggested by the pundits who often don’t have their finger on the pulse of what audiences want. It’s one of the few films that when ever on television draws me in again and again and again!
