The Pelican Brief (DVD, 1997)

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

I like the entire movie, I had seen it on tv is why I bought it.....BUT IT IS A 2 SIDED DVD DISC which means you have to get up in the middle of the movie to turn the disc over....I think when a seller is selling this item on ebay that they need to add this because if I would have know this was a 2 sided dvd I would have never ordered it and so I feel like I wasted my money on this and could not get a refund!!!!!!!

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 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!

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.

I just like this movie can watch it over and over...............................................................................................................................................................

I bought the Pelican Brief dvd, It was in good condition, and came very quickly!
I love the movie and enjoyed watching it!

Ordered Movie Pelican Brief, and it was fair price and received in a timely manner. However, the movie is PIRATED. NO government warning, the DVD had to be turned over to view the 2nd half of the movie. Do not buy from this seller, as they sell stolen property.

Good movie, no scratches or dings; fast shipping, would purchase again from shipper; great action during movie; Roberts and Washington have a great chemistry throughout the film

This seller shipped the DVD in a very efficient manner. The cost for shipping was very reasonable. Combine that with the fact that the DVD was reasonably prices, I was able to purchase the DVD for less than I could have bought it at Blockbuster of Hollywood. I will definitely add this seller to my favorites.

Julia Roberts plays one of her best characters, Darcy, who, as a law student, discovers critical info about the deaths of two Supreme Court Justices, and turns it into a speculative brief (Pelican Brief) that sends shock waves into a volatile situation involving many high ranking government officials. It was a compelling story that takes hold of you from the very beginning and never lets up throughout the movie. Oh yeah, she costars with that Danzel Washington guy who, as an accomplished reporter, helps bring this crises to the fore front and gets the bad guys caught without giving up Darcy's identity!! Excellent story by John Grisham and an excellent cast to play out this Drama!!

Having already owned the The Firm and The Client, two other films based on John Grisham novels, I just had to pick up this item as well to complete my unoffical trilogy of the first three films of Grishams first three works. All three are excellent, above average action/suspense escapism! Though this ones probably the lesser of the three, it is more than recommended for fans of the genre. Featuring superstars Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington at their most likable and a who's who supporting cast of character actors!

It came to the house very fast. I had this movie and I had a proublem with it so I wanted to have it for my colection. I was glad I found it so fast and easy. Thank you

This is a great movie, a bit different from the book, but great. I kind of wish they could have fit a few more scenes from the book into it, because they answer a few unanswered questions, but all in all this is an amazing movie. Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington are truly great in this movie. Trying to figure out who is doing what is something that you try to do through out the movie, although there is one man who is the main "doer". If you really pay attention to the movie, you can finally figure out who the person behind all or most of it is. This is a great action movie and we watch it more than just about any other movie we have. Some things you don't expect and some you may figure out, but it doesn't make this a dull movie by any means. I just replaced my first dvd because it just kind of wore out by all the usage! This is definately one for your collection, you'll watch it for years and never get tired of it. Sit back and enjoy it, it's well worth your time to see it.

disliked the fact that the title led one to believe it was dvd, when what it really was a vhs tape.
misleading information.

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

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 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.
