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...

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.

The Pelican Brief
by The Artful Dodger (Lahaina, HI 96761)
I was very satisfied with the condition of this product and felt that I would be able to enjoy it for years to come.
Excellent delivery service.
Highly recommended
5/5
Excellent movie & story
by Mickey H. Leatherman (Oklahoma)
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!
by A streetar with desire (Linz)
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!
by William Chipman (Irving, Tx)
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.
The Pelican Brief [Blu-ray] Summary
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/10/2009 Run Time: 149 Minutes Rating: R
Another John Grisham legal thriller comes to the screen, pairing Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts in a film directed by Alan J. Pakula, who is known for dark-hued suspense pictures such as
Klute
,
The Parallax View
,
All the President's Men
, and
Presumed Innocent
.
The Pelican Brief
isn't up to the level of those films, but it is a perfectly entertaining movie about a law student (Roberts) whose life is endangered when she discovers evidence of a conspiracy behind the killings of two Supreme Court justices. She enlists the help of an investigative reporter (Washington) and the two become fugitives. The charisma and chemistry of the leads goes a long way toward compensating for the story's shortcomings, as does a truly impressive supporting cast that includes Sam Shepard, John Heard, James B. Sikking, Tony Goldwyn, Stanley Tucci, Hume Cronyn, John Lithgow, William Atherton, and Robert Culp.
