A Brief ring of truth
I haven't read this particular John Grisham novel on which this film was based,so I can't comment as to the film's faithfulness to it.I can surmise however that from reading other Grisham novels it "feels" like it might be quite close.I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
The storyline is fairly straightforward.Why were two Supreme Court Justices assassinated?Darby Shaw,a curious law student (Julia Roberts),does a little research and writes a thesis on a possible reason.She shows it to her law professor boyfriend (Sam Shepherd),who in turn shows it to a colleague,also a lawyer (John Heard),who works for the FBI.The professor is blown up in a planted car bomb and his friend is shot dead in a hotel room.And someone wants the student dead also.She goes "on the run",and eventually turns to Gray Grantham,an investigative journalist (Denzel Washington) for help.
This is a superb "conspiracy" movie within the genre of "All the Presidents Men" and "In Defence of the Realm",and although starting relatively slowly,builds up the tension and is never dull.It has an excellent supporting cast featuring Robert Culp as the worried President (what President isn't?),with John Lithgow as Grantham's newspaper editor,British character actor Nicholas Woodeson as an assassin,and Stanley Tucci,who gave such a wonderfully chilling performance as Adolph Eichmann in the British TV production "Conspiracy",is equally pragmatically chilling here as a hit man.
There is a muted chemistry between the two leads which,like the film,(although there is a little action),never quite gets,perhaps purposely,to boiling point.It's all suitably and superbly played in a low key,which helps to maintain a sinister element to the overall development of the plot.
I suspect that "The Pelican Brief" is probably not to everyone's taste,but I personally love it,and given the oft modern corporate disregard for environmental matters,is by no means implausible,and indeed has the ring of truth about it.
