The Pelican Brief (1997, DVD)

I had watched this movie about 10 years ago soon after it came out and remembered that it was good then. This time I watched it, it was even better. Maybe because I was older and understood more of what was going on...haha. But, anyway I would recommend this to anyone in for a good suspenseful movie. It's pretty just the same to buy it on eBay as it is to rent it at Blockbuster. GOOD MOVIE

Great Julia Roberts movie with Denzel Washington. This is another good movie to add to your collection.

This is a great movie that twists together the elements of murder mystery and political intrigue. Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts both give excellent performances.

i have read the book and found it quite a good one and this was the best seller for me. it seemed like a perfect fit

I liked the movie when I watch it was televised on tv. Much to my suprise I did not know that I had to flip the dvd to watch the ending of the movie.My mistake!

I was given 30.00 to spend for my birthday so since I already have a large collection of videos I decided to add to it. I loved this because I could get several DVD's at .01. I was able to purchase 5 DVD's that I wanted for my collection. This was a great way for my daughter to get me something that she knew I would like.

Received the DVD of the Movie The Pelican Brief , It was well packed and received the same in Time, Thank you so much

Extremely good movie. Kept my interest and very exciting. This is one movie that followed the book and that is a pure pleasure.

I originally received the wrong DVD. WaS sent executive decision in error. The reeor was corrected and I eventually received the correct dvd which was very good. I am now awaiting the return of the expense for my returning the wrong dvd.

I decided to purchase this classic film as a gift. I selected this seller because the site provided a good description and photo, along with an excellent price. Shipping was quick and well done. I'd recommend this seller to others.

I am currently replacing all of my VHS collection with DVD's. I have particular stars that I like such as Denzel Washington and strive to make them a part of my collection. I have been colleting movies for over 20 years and have a large collection. I have found that Ebay is a great place to expand my collection.

It is a wondferful movie. I bought the DVD as a Christmas present for a friend. It is her favorite movie and I could not find it anywhere else.

This is one of Julia Roberts' less-known films but it deserves to be one of the most watched. Law student Darby Shaw (Julia Roberts) stumbles on the theory of an improbable conspiracy that happens to be true and, in so doing, makes herself a target of the conspirators.

After she tells her story to an investigative reporter (Denzel Washington) the pair team up to piece together the conspiracy while potential witnesses die around them. The screenplay has all the hallmarks of John Grisham and Alan Pakula and manages to maintain high tension and drama in a series of unlikely situations. The result is a credible and frightening picture of power in politics.

Similar to "The Firm" in its matching of ingenuous honesty against ruthless power, the film holds the viewer's attention and contains some deft touches. It is certainly a film to watch, maybe a film to own.

John Grisham's book, The Pelican Brief, comes to life in this movie thriller! Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts give a spectacular performance in this story of how power and corruption can be obliterated against the humility of one ordinary individual (Roberts) and the intrigue and concern of an investigative reporter (Washington).

The movie is intense and keeps moving for the entire two hours and for the most part, stays in step with Grisham's original book.

John Grisham tends to gravitate toward themes of hubris vs. humility and The Pelican Brief is an outstanding example of the irony within hubris ... too much pride inherently creates its own vulnerability.
