Three stars

I personally recommend this movie to an average level, and people who love Dan and Dazui can watch it.
Compared with the fame of this film, I feel a little disappointed. I looked for it in a suspense film, but this film is not a suspense film. It is more similar to an inspirational film. The unknown girl overthrew the political black gold tycoon and pulled the dog-walking president off the horse in order to avenge her lover. Julia Roberts later made a similar movie. I forgot what I called it. I played an environmentalist mother and seemed to have achieved great success. I revisit this movie 17 years ago and lament how beautiful it is. Beauty is also a day when someone is old and yellow.
The more disappointing place is that the plot arrangement is not rigorous enough, and the anti-reconnaissance capabilities of the reporter and the younger sister duo are also inferior. Looking at the silent assassinations of the first few assassins, then looking at these two, it is estimated that they have been killed. The person was demolished and still didn't know what was going on, but he didn't die. For example, the little girl goes to meet the police posing as the killer. What kind of hand do you hold with the other person, and you will not be finished with a single shot. The reporter lives in the hut and can easily track him down. I don’t understand why the killer didn’t kill him. What makes me unacceptable is that the little girl knows that the other party’s hands and eyes are open to the sky, eavesdropping everywhere, beforehand, she had negotiated with Denzel Washington, deliberately saying that she had gone abroad, and sneaked into Denzel’s hut on a rainy night. This shows that the two of them should You all know that the other party will eavesdrop. Why didn't you expect it when the widow called? In the end, I was very embarrassed. Fortunately, a dog in the parking lot rescued them somehow, but the killer suddenly dropped to 0 and crashed the car in a daze... Anyway, I looked very awkward to deal with these details.
In the film, the president is portrayed like a fool and he knows to tease a dog, and that dog is better than him. If something happens, like Liu Bang, he will ask the dog-headed sergeant next to him: How can it be? People who don’t understand think that the President of the United States is really like that.
But I still admire the Americans. Not to mention the Chinese speculating on American conspiracies. They also think about the country’s conspiracy every day. I can’t count them. The film is socially stable and harmonious, and the box office seems to be pretty good.

    The so-called screenwriting and director skills are like the untidy lawn in the opposite factory, which makes people feel sullen after watching it. But Denzel Washington really gives people an inexplicable and strong sense of security. Based on the firm response to Julia Roberts' request, he is worthy of admiration and even entrustment.

    The amusement park was overlooked, and the scene where the crowd spread out was impressive. Movies watched in the last century

The Pelican Brief quotes

  • Edwin Newman: She sounds almost too good to be true

    Gray Grantham: [pause] She almost is

  • [first lines]

    Justice Rosenberg: Any of those signs got my name on 'em?

    Gray Grantham: Quite a few.

    Justice Rosenberg: What do they say?

    Gray Grantham: The usual: Death to Rosenberg, Retire Rosenberg, Cut off the oxygen.

    Justice Rosenberg: [laughs] That's my favorite. Of course you, Mr Grantham, did pretty good by me your last time out: Rosenberg equals the government over business, the individual over government, the environment over everything. And the Indians? Oh, give 'em whatever they want.

    Gray Grantham: Well with all due respects sir, that wasn't my line, that was a quote.

    Justice Rosenberg: From one of your unnamed senior White House officials; senior White House son of a bitch I should have said, who got in there by stirring up these people, one against the other. It never fails to amaze me what a man will do to get into the Oval Office.
