Review of A Few Good Men (1992) by John T — 03 Jul 2011
Over recent years there has been a lack of really good court room dramas. There is nothing more inspiring than seeing the underdog inexperianced lawyer win the war of words with the Fat Cat Barrister. Although A few good men is not set in a conventional court it ticks all the boxes above.
Tom Cruise looks about 12 in this movie yet he plays then role of Lt Daniel Kaffee really well. Demi Moore is not quite as convincing but the star of the show is without doubt , Jack Nicholson.
He's cocky , short tempered portrayal of Col. Nathan R. Jessep is fantastic and he's not even on screen for very long.
It's interesting looking at this nearly twenty years after I last saw it and the the fact that is is set in Guantanamo Bay considering what has gone on there in the last 8 years. This also stars one of the most underrated yet prolific actors of the last 50 years and that is J.T.Walsh.
A few good men , stands the test of time and is still pretty good all these years later.
