    The film 20 years ago has the slow rhythm and atmosphere of that era. Now it seems that many unnecessary techniques and settings are a kind of comfortable atmosphere in that...

    The foreplay is too long to watch. In a society with a sound legal system, even Mr. President cannot cover the sky with one hand, and justice will eventually be served (the process may be...

    Against the US government, courage is commendable! The joint performance of the two superstars in the early years attracted me to watch, but the plot was a little...

    Roberts is very young. The suspenseful color of the film is not enough, and the political meaning is more clear. But at the end, I can't help but sigh, thankfully it happened in the United States. If it was China, when the FBI director finally met with them, he could kill them one by one, silence the newspapers, and then go out to announce that there was no such thing at all. The fate of being a hero in China is probably like this. He is silently killed, there is no way to escape, and there is...

The Pelican Brief quotes

  • [last lines]

    Edwin Newman: Where is Darby Shaw?

    Gray Grantham: I think that's also a question for Darby Shaw, but I know that she's not available to answer questions as long as this "feed frenzy" continues.

    Edwin Newman: Does that mean that you don't know where she is?

    Gray Grantham: No I didn't say that.

    Edwin Newman: Then you do know...

    Gray Grantham: [laughs]

    Edwin Newman: I, I take it this cryptic smile means you'll not answer...

    Gray Grantham: [smirking uncontrollably]

    Edwin Newman: Okay Gray, you know that in view of all this, you know that there's a lot of speculation that this woman is a figment of your imagination. That you created her, from a lot of different sources. Just as there are people who believe there was no Deep Throat, there are those who believe that there is no Darby Shaw. In other words, she's just too good to be true.

    Gray Grantham: She almost is.

  • Smith Keen: Didn't they also say they knew of no connection with the assassination?

    Gray Grantham: Yes. But what else are they gonna say?
