	Tantalizing plot makes The Pelican Brief shine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington star in The Pelican Brief, a Warner Brothers film based on the novel by John Grisham (The Firm), in which two supreme court justices have been killed, and there seem to be no clues to unmask the murderer.
		This brief stirs up a lot of concern in the upper echelons of the government, with waves of anxiety washing as high as the White House.
		The murderer is revealed early on, and it is the cleverness of motive and depth of intrigue that keeps the story exciting.

	The Pelican Brief - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pelican Brief is a legal/suspense thriller written by John Grisham in 1992.
		She writes a legal brief speculating that the assassinations were committed on behalf of Victor Mattiece, an oil tycoon wanting to drill for oil on swamp land currently occupied by an endangered breed of pelicans.
		Government forces quickly take sides, with the President trying to cover up his connection to Mattiece, which would be politically damaging; the FBI wants to get hold of Darby to verify her story; and allies of Mattiese try to kill her to cover up the story.

	Pelican Brief
		The Pelican Brief is a literary threat targeting the U.S. Supreme Court concerning a real civil rights case that was in the federal circuit in 1992; one that has the potential of eventually being reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court.
		Not only are there character names in the Pelican Brief that are either defendant names in cv92-3553 or associated with the case in some way, but the basic premise(elements) of the story coincide with that of the federal civil rights case.
		The Pelican, the student intern engineer from New Jersey, as a result of the courts refusal to protect his rights, is being offered to the CESS Alien Agency as a human sacrifice.

	Filmtracks: The Pelican Brief (James Horner)
		The Pelican Brief: (James Horner) Director Alan Pakula's films have never been inclined to demand large-scale or thematically complex music out of their composers.
		With many similarities in construct, The Pelican Brief would be the same score for James Horner that Presumed Innocent was a few years earlier for John Williams.
		Thus, while Presumed Innocent and The Pelican Brief essentially use the same spirit of underscore (despite a more chase-oriented action tilt in the latter), Williams' tackling of the job is leagues beyond Horner's music in quality and class.

	Amazon.ca: The Pelican Brief (Widescreen): DVD: Alan J. Pakula,Julia Roberts,Denzel Washington,Sam Shepard,John ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		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.
		Young law student Darby Shaw (Julia Roberts) completes what she calls "The Pelican Brief" without fully realizing how threatening and potentially dangerous its contents could be to the administration of an incumbent president played by Robert Culp.
		Problem is, The Pelican* Brief* is based on a pot-boiler by John Grisham, who, if the movies based on his stuff is any guide, couldn't concoct a plausible plot to save his life.

		Specifically, she has a theory about the murder of two Supreme Court Justices, but the people to whom she shows her brief become targets, just as she is a target.
		The beginning fifteen minutes or so of The Pelican Brief are not especially encouraging, mainly because the acting and interaction between Roberts and Sam Shepard as her law professor seem pretty awkward and strained.
		While The Pelican Brief is not a great film, it is enjoyable entertainment that offers a satisfying conclusion to a worthwhile film.

		When two Supreme Court justices are assassinated, law student Roberts writes a speculative brief that implicates a Louisiana oilman and the White House.

	The Pelican Brief - Movie Rental Review
		However, one brief scene features a murder in a porno theater; the main character is shown in a heavy clinch with a boyfriend, several characters are killed over the course of the film but gore is at a minimum.
		THE PELICAN BRIEF is the cinematic version of a novel by John Grisham, a man known for delivering great big bloated political thrillers.
		THE PELICAN BRIEF is low on colorful villains and memorable visuals and loaded with grim, grey scenes where characters are doing research or having conversations.

		Pakula insists that The Pelican Brief is haute cuisine, and the seriousness nearly wrecks it.
		She types her inspired guess into a legal report (called the pelican brief for reasons too complex to go into), passes it to her professor/ lover (Sam Shepard), who passes it on to a buddy at the FBI (John Heard), who passes it up the Beltway chain of power.
		For all Pelican Brief's political hugger-mugger, that's the crime that sticks with you.
