The Pelican Brief (1993)


A law student uncovers a conspiracy, putting herself and others in danger.

Overlong and with an unnecessarily complicated plot, this thriller is nevertheless mildly suspenseful.

Halliwell (no star): "Mundane chase movie, a paranoid thriller that rarely rings true and mainly consists of Julia Roberts being chased but not caught. Her fans may enjoy it."

Maltin ***: "Entertaining thriller...Well cast (with Julia a perfect pick for the lead) and well crafted, though the suspense starts to peter out toward the finish."
