The Pelican Brief (1993)

Saw this last Night / this morning on WE on Satellite dish. It had been many years since I had seen this movie the last time, and even then I had apparently missed a big chunk of the Movie. This time I sat and watched it basically end to end. (I think I missed a fem minutes in the beginning,)

It is a bit slow paced, and you need to pay attention to the Movie. Things happen quickly (Like People getting killed) and then Julia Roberts is reacting to what has happened to her world. Her curiosity gets the best of her and she goes digging into the deaths of two Supreme court Justices. She comes up with what she thinks is a crazy Idea for a solution to the Murders and thinks about tossing the Brief away. Her Lover/ Teacher decides otherwise and pases the Brief along to other folks. One thing leads to another and the Brief ends up at the White house.

I found the Movie most enjoyable. I thought Julia Roberts did an excellent job saving herself from many close calls, then reacting to her new situation and Denzel Washington gives a respectable performance as well.

I gave it an 8 out of 10. I can Highly Recommend this Movie.
