A great script which has a fantastic cast to deliver it. Whilst Nicholson has the grandstanding speech, there is plenty of performances worth watching here, though Cruise comes across as a little too smug throughout the film. It can't spoil a compelling story though, and strikes a good balance between presenting both sides of the argument, even in its resolution.

This was the movie that started it all. After seeing this in the cinema I started paying attention to script, dialogue, acting and delivery. Before that I was just watching movies, now this is still my gold standard on how it‘s supposed to be done. That Aaron Sorkin script and the Nicholson delivery. *sigh* I miss Nicholson.

Um filme excelente, um clássico. A forma como inicialmente nos fazem pensar que a culpa é dos soldados, e depois mostram como os superiores deram as ordens, é notável. Talvez a melhor atuação de Tom Cruise, Demi Moore tava espetacular no filme tbm, e o Jack Nicholson dando aula, excelente filme

Outrageously great, as I had previously heard it would be; it doesn't disappoint. A tonne of outstanding acting, brilliant dialogue and an utterly compelling story. It all makes for superb viewing, I don't think I have any negatives to say about 'A Few Good Men'. Kudos to all involved. Tom Cruise (Kaffee) is fantastic, definitely one of the (if not the) best performances I've seen from him. He has played similarly-ish before, but here his mix of comedy and drama is perfectly connected. Demi Moore is also terrific, supporting Cruise as Galloway supremely. Jack Nicholson (Jessup) also gives the top level, as he gets a now famous quote. Others, like Kevin Pollak (Weinberg) and Kevin Bacon (Ross), are also noteworthy. They nailed the casting. Everything else is just as class, from the pacing to the tension building to the cinematography. One thing though, and this isn't the film's fault whatsoever, but the late swerve didn't fool me as I practically knew it was coming due to the television show 'Suits'. Darn you Mike Ross! I had always heard the best about this film, so I'm delighted it lives up to the hype. Not seen this? Do so asap!

A Few Good Men was pretty good. The courtroom scenes were by far the best part, and so it's unfortunate it took an hour for the movie to really get going. Tom Cruise was really good in it, though I wasn't a huge fan of the rest of the performances, and while I quite liked the script, I wish it had been faster-paced, similar to Sorkin's later work. The finale was great and deservedly iconic.
