Movie Info
Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) is a military lawyer defending two U.S. Marines charged with killing a fellow Marine at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba. Although Kaffee is known for seeking plea bargains, a fellow lawyer, Lt. Cdr. JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore), convinces him that the accused marines were most likely carrying out an order from a commanding officer. Kaffee takes a risk by calling Col. Nathan R. Jessep (Jack Nicholson) to the stand in an effort to uncover the conspiracy.

Dec 07, 2015"A Few Good Men" is an amazing drama film of 1992. "A Few Good Men" has amazing acting from "Tom Cruise" and "Jack Nicholson". "A Few Good Men" has a great plot to it, the drama was handled very well, it wasn't too over the top. One thing I did not like was the first 20 minutes of the film; it felt a bit long and dragged on. "Jack Nicholson's" final courtroom speech is a classic, and has been impersonated several times. The music in "A Few Good Men" is great; it fits in perfectly with the scenes. I highly recommend you watch "A Few Good Men" as it is an amazing drama film. I give "A Few Good Men" an 8.5/10.Steve G Super Reviewer

Apr 12, 2014As seen in "The Newsroom" and "The Social Network," Aaron Sorkin obviously writes some great dialogue and speeches, and Kaffee and Jessup's courtroom confrontation is indeed full of vitriol and grand idealistic views on patriotism, security, and truth. However, what bumps me about this movie and the rest of Sorkin's work is that it's too pat. A callow, legacy, navy lawyer has to defend two Marines accused of hazing a private so extremely that they kill him. Along the way, we tackle issues of whether honor means following a code of ethics or critically thinking for oneself. Will the good guys win? What does it mean to be a good guy? These are important, heady questions drummed up by Sorkin, but I think he spent more time writing slick lawyer-speak instead of developing a key part of the story: who is Santiago and why should we care about him, the circumstances in which he was killed, and the fate of his killers? Why did he even join the Marines to begin with? Where was he trying to get transferred to? Why did he break the chain of command? Why would he offer secrets for personal favors? Why was he, in short, such a bad Marine? Even if he had health conditions, he should've at least been able to keep his barracks orderly and be punctual. His death seemed so clearly an accident that I wondered why all this hullabaloo. I kept thinking there had to be more to Santiago, not just his death.Alice S Super Reviewer

Apr 30, 2013"You can't handle the truth!" A Few Good Men is a powerful and compelling courtroom drama from director Rob Reiner. The story follows a young JAG officer who gets more than be bargains for when he takes on the case of two Marines accused of murder, and discovers that the truth is more disturbing that he originally believed. The cast is quite impressive, and includes Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, and Jack Nicholson; who all delivers excellent performances. The writing is also exceptionally good, and adds a lot of intrigue and intensity to the trial. Well-crafted and inspired, A Few Good Men delivers a thrilling drama.Dann M Super Reviewer

Jan 06, 2013Upon close examination, A Few Good Men isn't quite as profound as it would have you believe, but that doesn't stop it from being a riveting courtroom drama bolstered by strong performances and a quick-witted script.Isaac H Super Reviewer
