There were certain parts of the film that didn't really have much point, and when you think it was just getting started, it changes the scene quickly. This may or may not be a good thing.

This may or may not be a good thing. The dialogue was a bit long, but the humour was refreshing. At least the ending was unpredictable, but it still lacked the ultimate punch for me to rate this higher. On the whole, it wasn't too bad, but didn't exactly knock me off my feet.… Expand

Not a bad story, bud sadly let down by poor casting. Jack Nicholson is as highly watchable as ever, but Demi Moore proves yet again that she is one of the worst actress of her generation. She stinks in everything she's done, and dont Not a bad story, bud sadly let down by poor casting. Jack Nicholson is as highly watchable as ever, but Demi Moore proves yet again that she is one of the worst actress of her generation. She stinks in everything she's done, and dont let me get started on Tom Cruise's wooden performance. Yikes !! The courtroom scene is sadly let down by La Cruise's hambone performance, as he is outclassed by Jack. With better casting it could have been so much more.… Expand

Predictable courtroom drama.
Only memorable thing from the movie is the "You can't handle the truth" line.

You definitely enjoy any Nicholson's movie, but I have to agree with other critics, the cast could have been better, Moore's performance it's poor, why does she always seems to have tears in her eyes? is she always crying?

Anyway, Tom always acts the same every time his characters belong to any of the armed forces, so maybe someone else for the job. Still a a manageable movie with an epic scene, from Jack Nicholson of course.… Expand

A Few Good Men is a smart courtroom drama with a brilliant story and great perfromances from Cruise, Nicholson, Pollak, Bacon and Sutherland (solid performance from Demi Moore). Also sharp direction from Rob Reiner

The story follows a young lawyer's plight to defend two marines accused of murder. Now I know just about everyone's heard of this film. If they haven't, they've at least heard of the line, "You can't handle the truth!" That line is just a snippet of the greatness that is weaved into this film. Starting off on a related note, the script is fantastic. Aaron Sorkin strikes again with his rapier wit and compelling dialogue. The story is a very compelling look at the military definitions of honor and loyalty and how they can sometimes become misinterpreted. Some of the lines in this film are also spectacularly memorable. However, while the screenplay is decidedly impressive, the most imposing aspect of this film is the performances within it. Every single actor in this film brought their best to the table, and it's because of the unbelievably captivating performance from Jack Nicholson that everyone else raised their bars. Nicholson's really only in this film for about 10 or 15 minutes, but man does he make those minutes count with his caustic and snide portrayal of Colonel Nathan R. Jessup. Again, it's his performance that caused everyone else in this film to bring their a-games, and holy crap did they. Tom Cruise, Kevin Pollak, Kevin Bacon, J.T. Walsh, Kiefer Sutherland, Demi Moore, all did unbelievable jobs with their respective characters. Even Wolfgang Bodison, a stagehand who had never acted before in his life, did a really beautiful job with his role. The aforementioned fact is a real testament to the seemingly limitless talent of Rob Reiner. After watching the special features of the film, you really get a good idea that Reiner forged an effective relationship with his actors and offered some acting tips of his own for their performances. Because this is such a character driven story, Reiner made a great choice in offering some of his own acting expertise to his cast. Overall, I felt that "A Few Good Men" was a really masterfully directed, beautifully written, unforgettably performed coatroom drama that is sure to impress anyone.… Expand

The characters are very intrrguing and captivating. Especially, Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson. With Jack, I think he gave an excellent performance (as usually), but isn't in this movie a whole lot. You only see him in the beginning and the end of the movie. But boy does he make up for his dissaperance when he yells out "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!" That line right there is truly a tremendous quote and one of the biggest movie quotes of all time. Which leads me to another plus that this movie has. Great Screenplay. As far as negativity, the movie kind of streches in some scenes, but overall, it's truly one of the best court movies ever made.… Expand

Although we do get glimpses of the outside world and parts outside the courtroom especially the acting is top notch in terms of pure talent. The story is pretty simple however most of you if not all have seen A Few Good Men so won't bore you with step by step storyline pieces. An all star cast such as Kevin Pollak, Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore grace our screens and all give excellent performances however Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson steal the movie for me. Jack Nicholson is simply boss and Tom Cruise is hilarious as hell in some scenes and convincing. It's a drama/thriller directed by Rob Reiner and delivers powerful speeches, performances and downright ballsy confrontations and dialogue but some hilarious at times too. The use of colour and brightness is shown on display and the chemistry between the actors especially Tom Cruise and Demi Moore is utterly spectacular. Great film.… Expand

Die beiden Soladaten Dawson und Downy sollen ihren Kollegen Santiago umgebracht haben. Dieser bat mehr mals um Verlegung in ein anderen Stützpunkt. Aber dazu kam es nicht, weil er ermordet wurde. Wollten die beiden Soldaten dies? Wurden sie beauftragt? Vor dem Militärgericht werden die beiden Soldaten von Daniel Kaffee ( Tom Cruise) und JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore) verteidigt. Daniel Kaffee ist ein arroganter, unerfahrener Anwalt, welcher sich innerhalb des Films weiterentwickelt. Ich finde den Film sehr interessant und spannend. Tom Cruise spielt seine Rolle sehr gut. Jack Nicklson hat in diesem Film eine kleine Rolle, die er aber brilliant spielt und zu Recht eine Oscar Nominierung hatte. Ich habe zwar für mich spannendere und interessantere Gerichtsfilme gesehen. Dieser hier ist trotzdem spannend und unterhaltsam. Man erfähr über das Leben und Militär und die Dialoge sind fantastisch. Der Regisseur Rob Reiner inzeniert hier einen guten Film mit gutgeschriebenen Charakteren und guten Dialogen. Was er schon in Harry und Sally, Misery und Das Beste kommt zum Schluss schon bewiesen hat.

One of the best big budget hollywood films of the 90s. There are a few scenes involving exchanges between the main characters that you want to re-play again and again.

So my pal Lohnny and I are driving through La Verne, California, on our way to see this movie at a really big theater (with plush seating and accommodations for the hearing impaired). Anyway, I can see this car stopped at a red light about So my pal Lohnny and I are driving through La Verne, California, on our way to see this movie at a really big theater (with plush seating and accommodations for the hearing impaired). Anyway, I can see this car stopped at a red light about 100 yeards down the road, inside of which looks like 3 or 4 teenage boys hanging bare asses out the back and side windows to nobody in particular. So I drive up next to them to see what's what. The guys all dropped down, revealing a 70 year old woman at the wheel. At first, she's appears to be hiding her face, probably embarrassed by the boys.... Then all of a sudden, she looks right at me (and Lohnny, who is now transfixed), she sticks out her tongue much further than I thought possible (especially by this old lady), and she begins licking her lips, cheecks and brow in a slow, deranged fashion. I look over at Lohnny who by now has lost all color in his face, his eyes bulging like he'd seen a ghost. The light turns green and he yells, DRIVE!, so I drove. The most perverse, Texas Chainsaw Massacre Family moment in my young life. By the way, the movie was damned good, though. "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"… Expand

Was actually pretty good. Solid acting (although Demi Moore sucked hard in it) and it was an interesting story that ended perfectly. I really enjoyed it.
