2/4  Too Many Empty Scenes
I somewhat liked the film overall but there were so many empty scenes where nothing much happens. As a result, it detracts from the thrill and fascination, thereby focusing on unnecessary details. At the same time, what I liked about the f... (read full)

2.5/4  The Pelican Brief Quick Review
A decent Grisham adaptation. The supporting cast almost steals the thunder from the big name leads. There's a good plot, but like many legal thrillers, it often times doesn't move along smooth or quickly enough.

5/5 Excellent movie & story

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.

5/5 Great Blu-ray!

Warner did a very good job on this older material. The picture is clear without any dirt or dropouts. Sharpness is on a very high level, especially the close-ups show every detail like a single hair or pore. One negative point is the lack of any bonus, but what the hell... at this price!

1/5 Put me to sleep.

Was I the only one bored to death? Love Denzel. Love Julia. Hate this snooze fest.

3/5 So this is what it looks like!

The Pelican Brief was released on DVD many years ago. The DVD was a bit muddy and flat, among many other faults. The new Blue-Ray is a good example of how a movie that is only so-so in quality can still be a very enjoyable view. The move to BRD didn't improve the movie, which is a mashup of All the Presidents Men and the George Bush administration. However, the presentation is very good with clear sound and clean video.
