Although Kaffee is known for seeking plea bargains, a fellow lawyer, Lt. Cdr. JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore), convinces him that the accused marines were most likely carrying out an order from a commanding officer. Kaffee takes a risk by calling Col. Nathan R.

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      An old-fashioned courtroom drama with a contemporary edge, A Few Good Men succeeds on the strength of its stars, with Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, and especially Jack Nicholson delivering powerful performances that more than compensate for the predictable plot.

      Edward Guthmann San Francisco Chronicle It's directed with taut efficiency by Rob Reiner. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 11, 2023 Full Review David Ansen Newsweek Designed to get the audience rooting for this upper-class underdog, the movie accomplishes its task with military efficiency. But since the deck is stacked and the cards well worn, it hardly seems a victory to cherish. Feb 8, 2018 Full Review Dave Kehr Chicago Tribune By pitting Cruise against Nicholson in the film`s final courtroom confrontation, Sorkin and Reiner are pitting two notions of masculinity and two notions of stardom against each other. Rated: 3/4 Apr 30, 2014 Full Review Oti For Your Reference Podcast Surface level, I can see why this intrigued me. I can see why it was good in terms of building the tension and trying to at least arouse some aspects of suspense. But does that a good movie make? I'm not sure. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 13, 2023 Full Review KT Mahe For Your Reference Podcast Aaron Sorkin is the puppet master of snarky word vessels. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 13, 2023 Full Review Stephen Silver Tilt Magazine Especially notable for its understanding of something — the conflict between the “elites” of blue America and the more traditional institutions of the military, police, and the like (30th anniversary) Rated: 4.5/5 Dec 13, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      Nathan W Easily one of the best courtroom dramas I've ever seen! It had everything... A gripping plot, great writing, and an all-star cast. In a film with no shortage of great performances, Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson manage to stand apart from the crowd. Cruise delivered a passionate and emotional performance, while bringing sarcasm and humor to an otherwise serious movie. Nicholson as the intimidating and hard nosed Colonel, who didn't play by everyone else's rules. Their courtroom scene together gave me chills. Has to be one of the most iconic moments in cinematic history. There was plenty of drama both in and out of the courtroom. It was filled with intrigue and mystery. It did almost feel like a made for TV movie in a way, if not for the big names, but I think that's just Rob Reiner's style. The plot was somewhat predictable but most courtroom dramas are. Besides... movies like this are more about the journey than the destination anyways. So just strap in and enjoy the ride. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/10/24 Full Review Laura F Nothing more and nothing less than 4 stars, amazing cast, amazing acting and an amazing storyline! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Tom C Phenomenal movie. Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson are such phenomenal actors. Words can't describe how much I love them. Aaron Sorkin's script is so well-written. His dialogues are smart and witty and the characters are intriguing. Rob Reiner's direction is airtight and he milks his great cast for everything they've got. He gets them to deliver some of the best performances of his career. Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, Kevin Pollak, Kevin Bacon, Keifer Sutherland and J.T. Walsh are absolutely phenomenal in their roles. This is such an amazing drama movie that's extremely thrilling. I'd recommend it to anyone. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review Adi 1 A brilliantly put together masterpiece which features great performances, compelling dialogues and a masterful direction. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Berkcan S good court room drama Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/06/23 Full Review Jonathan M One of the best of all time Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
