Two Supreme Court justices have been murdered and a lone law student (Roberts) turns her suspicions about the deaths into a speculative brief that sends shock waves into the highest levels of government. She and a determined investigative reporter (Washington) want to tell the world what they have uncovered- if they live to tell it. The race is on and these two are more than runners. They're moving targets.

This was an excellent movie if I was able to see the whole movie. Approximately 3/4 through a revolving disc appeared and brought up a number of options. When I tried to return to the movie I couldn't. Nothing worse than watching a suspenseful movie than unable to see how it ended

Denzel Washington and Julie Roberts do battle with a mundane script and a pedestrial director ... and fairly much win. With lesser actors, this would be a 'nothing' film. As it is, it is a reasonably thrilling thriller.
