Pelican Brief, The
This is a standard Grisham pot-boiler, with Roberts as the law student who manages to deduce who murdered two Supreme Court judges while the rest of the country is baffled. When her theory goes public, she's a marked woman and turns to Washington's newspaper reporter for help. Pakula has plenty of experience in handling this kind of material, but he adds nothing to what is little more than a desperate bid for credibility from Pretty Woman herself. She's not terrible, but she's not good, either, and next to the versatile Washington, she looks very limited indeed.
