The Pelican Brief (1993)★ 7.3/10

Visually, "The Pelican Brief" is a well-crafted film. The cinematography by Owen Roizman captures the gloomy and suspenseful mood of the story, and the use of Washington D.C.'s architecture and urban landscapes adds a sense of realism to the narrative. The film's score, composed by James Newton Howard, complements the tense atmosphere and adds to the overall impact of the movie.

This is a gripping legal-political thriller that is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by John Grisham. This movie features the talented duo of Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington in the lead roles, bringing to life a complex and intriguing story that delves into the realms of power, corruption, and justice.

What gets me about this '90s thriller, which I strongly recommend seeing, is that despite being a mainstream movie, the unsettling atmosphere that evokes and sustains feels authentic, and that makes it stand out within the genre.

muy buena. atrapante.
