"Eric Brockovichi" is yet another
"based on a true story" iegal thriller
where, despite every imaginable
problem arid against all possible
odds, David takes on Goliath (in this
casc a uarge coriporation) and conies
out on top.
The iswist here is that David is a
sworiani and she's nor even a lasvyer.
Ini "Eric Brockovich," Julia
Roberts plays rte title character - a
struggling, single mother with art
affection for inriskirts and right
tops --- with as effortless case.
Brockovich turims a secretarial posi-
nion at a lisc firmt into the stuf
mosies are naude of as she assts
lawsyer Ed Masry (libert Fi 'y)
uaid gathers evidence for their case
against a corporatiort who's been
kntoswingly pollcutinig tire water of a
smrall icoswn.
Director Steven Soderberght, who
rose uricfrom riear-oblisiona with te
uric-two punch of "Out of Sight" arid
"'The Limiey," gives "Brockosich" ai
sharp and stylized appearance,
pcutting Iis owt' spin on the usual
hallmarks of films dealing ithr
courtrrooms and te law'.
Thte DVD version of "Brockov'ich"
is loaded swith extras including two
documienrtaries lotte on she film and
te oilier a vers' dry look at rte real
Erini Brockovich) arid a boatload of
deleted scenes.
In his commentary traek for the
deleted material, Soderbergh
explains swhy niuch of it ws ct ( lie
had to wshittle air tour off the fi to
miake its current rcninrg timie) and
provides plenty of insightfurl comi-
meteis on te editing process.
Really te ottly titanic here is that
Soderbergh doesn't reave a coitttert-
tarv track for tire frrll-lerrgrlimonie
as Is thoughts ciiitle deleted scente
leave us hungry for more info fromr
rte director.
