The Pelican Brief

After two high-ranking judges are killed, a law student develops a theory connecting the murders to a wider conspiracy. When her findings reach powerful people, she becomes a target and joins forces with an investigative reporter to uncover the truth while staying alive.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like star-driven legal and political thrillers with conspiracy, danger, and dialogue; Not for you if you prefer tight pacing, gritty realism, or subtle plotting.
