The Pelican Brief—one of those films that sleeps before realizing
its complete value—more than deserves its watch. Perfect casting includes Julia
Roberts offset with Denzel Washington. The onscreen chemistry completely works.
The script, exceptionally well-timed and written, has Director Alan Pakula to
bring forth its completeness with brilliant direction.
