   Is the Pelican Brief a good movie?

   • Alan J. Pakula's movie "The Pelican Brief" addresses this. I haven't read John Grisham's novel, but the movie is one of the most intense movies that you'll ever see. Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts put their all into the roles of a reporter and student, respectively, trying to expose a conspiracy involving the White House and the oil industry.

   How long is the Pelican Brief?

   • Grisham is known for delivering great big, bloated political thrillers; at 141 minutes, it shows in this mightily involved thriller. 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. The actors are well cast and effective.
