We were extremely confused when the film just stopped just over an hour in. Luckily we worked out that you had to turn the disc over, not something I remember ever having to do before. Which was good as we were most enjoying Pakula's political / conspiracy thriller, which was coming over very much like one of his best like The Parallax View and All the President's Men.
Julia Roberts is the legal student who comes up with an unlikely theory that connects a dodgy oil and gas baron with the President. Cue assassinations from cool killer Stanley Tucci (looking impossibly young) and involving legal teacher Sam Shepherd and journalist Denzel Washington. It's another John Grisham at source. With John Heard, William Atherton, Hume Cronyn, Nicholas Woodeson, Robert Culp (President).
