Cons None - one of my favorite films

Good story, great execution.

Actors worked well together and Cruise hit his mark on this picture. Maybe still his best acting to date. He's gotten ribbed and robbed, but this will always be a classic film.

Believe it or not, I went to see this film - when it first opened - because I was having "open discussions" with Marine Corps JAG. I was in law school, at a time when the bottom had dropped out of the market, and I was frankly willing to turn over any stone that had a dollar attached to it (a skill... Read full review »

When it comes to taut and enthralling courtroom dramas, very few movies manage to intrigue us like no other, To Kill and Mockingbird is one, 12 Angry Men is another, I am happy to say the A Few Good Men is good enough to be among the elite of courtroom thrillers, an instant classic boasting a great...

Cons None.

Following the traditions of The Caine Mutiny and other riveting courtroom dramas (To Kill a Mockingbird, Anatomy of a Murder), the Aaron Sorkin-Rob Reiner collaboration A Few Good Men is less about a crime and its details than it is about a clash of wills between two men with different mindsets and...

For a very large part of my very short life I've been a bit mystified by the idea of this movie.

The fact of the matter was, I didn't know anything about... Read full review »

Starring Tom Cruise (Lt. Kaffe), Demi Moore (Lt. Cmdr Galloway), Jack Nicholson (Col. Jessup), Kevin Bacon (Capt. Ross), and Keifer Sutherland (Lt. Kendrick), this is the best military movie I've ever seen.

At the beginning of A FEW GOOD MEN, we see a certain Private First Class Santiago get assaulted at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, and a rag gets stuffed in his mouth, by the Marine equivalent of two "junior lieutenants" (actually a Private First Class like Santiago, and a Lance Corporal).

We all have actors and actresses which others really enjoy and who just don't do it for us. My list of actors and actreses include Jack Nicholson, Keifer Sutherland, Demi Moore and J.T. Walsh.

When Aaron Sorkin sat down to write his screenplay, A Few Good Men, he must have thought to himself, "Gee, I'm pretty sure my target audience is a bunch of bumbling idiots prone to drooling in their artificially butter-flavored popcorn, so I'd better make this movie's plot so blatantly obvious that...

Pros The Hollywood debut of one of today's best writers

A Few Good Men got its start as a stage play... and it's obvious. There are a few exterior shots and some judicious cutting back and forth from location to location, but for the most part the characters stay in one place for a while. It's also very verbal, rather than visual. All the conflict, all... Read full review »

A Few Good Men (Special Edition) [VHS]

A U.S. soldier is dead, and military lawyers Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee and Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway want to know who killed him. You want the truth? snaps Colonel Jessup (Jack Nicholson). You can't handle the truth! Astonishingly, Jack Nicholson's legendary performance as a military tough guy in A Few Good Men really amounts to a glorified cameo: he's only in a few scenes. But they're killer scenes, and the film has much more to offer. Tom Cruise (Kaffee) shines as a lazy lawyer who rises to the occasion, and Demi Moore (Galloway) gives a command performance. Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland, J.T. Walsh, and Cuba Gooding Jr. (of Jerry Maguire fame) round out the superb cast. Director Rob Reiner poses important questions about the rights of the powerful and the responsibilities of those just following orders in this classic courtroom drama.
