Julia Roberts is Darby Shaw, a young low student who when
she learns of the assassination of 2 Supreme Court judges, writes a brief on
her theory of who did it.
Sharing this information with her tutor, who also happens to
be her partner, he shows an interest and also shares it with a friend who works
for the FBI sparking a huge hunt for Darby as the brief works its way up to the
President and seems to have too gotten close to the truth.
With everyone out to silence Darby and her theory, she seeks
refuge in disguises and goes on the run. But when she makes contact with
political journalist Gray Grantham (Denzel Washington) who believes her theory
could be proved correct, despite both their lives being in danger, they work
together to prove that the government is part of a massive cover up.
To be honest I found this movie hard to follow and
understand who was good and who wasn’t. As it jumped around, I struggled to
understand the plot and what the cover up was.
I don’t feel I could recommend it to anyone, as I didn’t
understand enough about it to explain my reasons for the recommendation, but as
a movie I’ve wanted to watch for years, I’m glad I’ve finally seen it even if I
didn’t really know what it was about.
