Wayne K @RT88290232 3d One of the most famous and quoted legals dramas ever made, with ‘more is more’ proponent Aaron Sorkin penning the script, A Few Good Men is a consistently engaging story that seems cut and dry on the outside, but becomes more complex when you get into the nitty gritty. More than else anything else, it’s a condemnation of blindly following authority when it comes into conflict with basic moral standards. Would we do something that’s completely against our principles simply because a superior figure ordered us to do so? It’s a quandary at the centre of many an atrocity throughout history, and results in some of fieriest scenes in the film. The ensemble cast all turn in great performances, with a super energetic Tom Cruise carrying the majority of it, but it can’t be argued that Jack Nicolson is having the most fun of anyone. Very rewatchable, very enjoyable and very rewarding. See more Justin A @RT23694246 Jul 9 This movie is a classic and I have watched countless times over the years. It has everything a great movie needs. The cast is amazing, story line is fantastic, plot will keep you interested and the ending is brilliant!!!

Tom Cruise and Demi Moore as the 'good guys' are good, as is Kevin Bacon. But the 'bad guys' make this movie really good. Kiefer Sutherland and most of all Jack Nicholson are masterful. The story is interesting and well told. We all know the truth from the beginning, or we think we do, but the movie is still exciting in its own way. I liked this movie very much, it was never boring, and I was real pleased that some of the cliches you normally see in a movie like this one were left out. If you like a good story, good directing and perfect performances this is your movie. See more Thyaagu C @Thyaagu May 9 25, 30 years later… doesn’t matter. A courtroom investigation drama has built in immortality. Even a slightly flawed one refuses to age. And this? Still hits with full force. The tension, the intensity, the sheer power of the performances… all of it feels just as alive today. See more din D @L1J2K3 May 8 A good old fashion court room drama with a game Jack Nicholson. This movie is really strong, across the board great performances and a well-built story. This sort of funny sort of sad movie is good alone with an even better and well thought out ending. See more Chris L @Christoph2000 May 3 Truly exceptional with one of the tightest and most intelligent screenplays ever written, this is also amongst the best legal dramas of them all. How many movies trigger a racing heartbeat from electrifying quick-fire dialogue alone? That's Aaron Sorkin's special gift. Some of those usually omitted from analyses of the creation of yet another gem in Rob Reiner's directorial crown are J. A. Preston for his steely performance as the judge and every soldier contributing to the mesmerising theatrics throughout the opening credits. A story about standing one's ground, never giving up in spite of the odds (although Kaffee comes close, he has magnificent female assistance on side) and ultimately the necessity of staying true to one's conscience in the face of illegal orders. That overriding message is tragically one requiring much harder emphasis in the year 2026. Jack Nicholson owning the movie in c. 20 minutes reinforces why he became the male star with the most Oscar nominations. Superb. See more Read all reviews
