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.

Another of my 'Go To' movies. Cruise and Nicholson are excellent and the drama is great and keeps you interested throughout

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.

The big screen's introduction to the words of Aaron Sorkin. And the big brother to his much-inferior Trial of the Chicago 7.

I miss the courtroom films of the 1990s. A Few Good Men, A Time to Kill... Grandstanding lawyers in movies that assumed the viewer was intelligent enough to understand a More

A young Tom Cruise does a decent job at being a smug lawyer. Nicholson's monologue is legendary. The cast is pretty good. The writing is darn good and the delivery is excellent. This movie's a classic and you should watch it if you haven't.

A riveting courtroom drama from early-career Aaron Sorkin, one that's absolutely stuffed with taut suspense, gripping dialog and A-list actors delivering lifetime performances. Not bad for a first-time screenwriter. It's an intelligent film that smoothly toes the line between spelling things More

**An excellent film, which deserves the time we can give it, but which has a group of poorly conceived characters and a terrible protagonist.**

Personally, I really like courtroom dramas, it's a genre of cinema that I enjoy and that generally works very well for me. I also have a certain tendency More
