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.

Will we ever get a legal drama this good again?! You get Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson going at each other in court with Sorkin at the helm of writing... it's cinema.

one of a kind. every scene just builds up to the end.

Fun fact: I became aware of and interested in this movie because I stumbled upon a parody done of one the courtroom scenes; in which it's argued whether or not Santa is real.

This is all Sorkin, Cruise and Nicholson. Very fun to watch masters of a craft work together.

Just watch it I guess

The rest is history.

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!

Fantastic work. This is a movie you can watch over and over and it doesn't get old. Great cast, especially a strong supporting cast with all the regular faces. Watch it!

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.

At the risk of repeating myself (and I know I do) I aprreciate those movies so much more now then I did 20 years ago. Because those movies do what most movies today don't: the tell a story (Aaron Sorkin, need I say more), the have actors that actually act (Nicholsons scene in the the court room is great and even Cruise is way above his usual performance), and they do it all without the help of CGI and SFX. Granted, it wasn't available that readily at the time but I am sure today they would find a place for it in such a movie somewhere. And althought you could say they hinted that there is a connection between Kaffee and Galloway they don't go there. Make this movie now and they sure as hell end up in bed.

You really like movies than this is one you should seriously consider.

Legar Thriller brilliantly conceived. Exceptional Tom Cruise.
