keven Q @kevenquinlan 3 days ago Well acted, decent Grisham material, and watchable. It was a bit of a stretch at first but became better as the movie unfolded. Going to keep it but worth a watch if you don't. See more Armando B @Knightowl_1991 May 5, 2026 I had to rewatch this film because i forgot about it, that being said now I know why this movie was forgettable, the movie drags to long and some moments take too long to develop, I really like this type of murders mystery movies but this one couldn't deliver. I've seen better movies than this, don't get me wrong some scenes were good and it had its moments, actually the best part of the movie was every time Stanley Tucci was on screen, he was really good in here and it suited him that type of role he was playing, I really thought he was going to last the entire movie. Julia Roberts is beautiful to see on screen and Denzel was great as well, but the movie fails to deliver for me, The Pelican Brief is one of those movies that could have been better. That being said, I give " The Pelican Brief" a solid D- just because the murder scenes of Stanly Tucci were well made, he was really creepy, I liked his character a lot. See more David G @Brutalelder Apr 26, 2026 Very much a 90s movie, in a good way. It leans more on the acting than the mystery, which isn’t too hard to figure out, but it’s still really entertaining and easy to watch. Denzel Washington is great as always, and Julia Roberts does a solid job too. The whole cast delivers. If you like classic 90s thrillers, this is a good one. Nothing too complicated, just a really enjoyable watch. See more Joel H @786Joel Jan 9, 2026 It’s been a long time since I watched The Pelican Brief. It was a fun reminder of how enjoyable these John Grisham film adaptations can be. However, there are better Grisham movies. This one seems to get a little lost in the weeds, and it’s not always clear who is doing what and why. Both Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington do great jobs with their respective performances. They are relatable and vulnerable in a way that keeps you engaged, even if all the legal jargon and politicking go over your head. So while The Pelican Brief may not be the strongest cinematic case Grisham’s got, it has some pluck.
