Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
A U.S. soldier is dead, and military lawyers Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee and Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway want to know who killed him. 'You want the truth?' snaps Colonel Jessup (Jack Nicholson). 'You can't handle the truth!' Astonishingly, Jack Nicholson's legendary performance as a military tough guy in A Few Good Men really amounts to a glorified cameo: he's only in a few scenes. But they're killer scenes, and the film has much more to offer. Tom Cruise (Kaffee) shines as a lazy lawyer who rises to the occasion, and Demi Moore (Galloway) gives a command performance. Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland, J.T. Walsh, and Cuba Gooding Jr. (of Jerry Maguire fame) round out the superb cast. Director Rob Reiner poses important questions about the rights of the powerful and the responsibilities of those just following orders in this classic courtroom drama. --Alan Smithee

Rating:  - "I Want The Truth." "You Can't Handle The Truth!!" A Gripping Drama That Never Lets Go. All-Star Cast & Superb Directing.
From the creator of "The West Wing" and the director of "The Princess Bride" comes a gripping drama about a hotshot lawyer (Tom Cruise) saddled with his first case, a young secretary with Internal Affairs (Demi Moore) and the commanding officer in charge of U.S. troops stationed at Guantanamo Bay (Academy Award winner Jack Nicholson). The superb cast includes Kevin Pollak ("The Usual Suspects"), Kevin Bacon (his wife, Kyra Sedgewick, stars in TNT's "The Closer"), Kiefer Sutherland ("The Three Musketeers," ... Read More
Rating: - You can't handle the truth!!
One of the more famous movie lines ever and it comes from a great movie. It is a courtroom drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It focuses on marines who are accused of murder but Tom Cruise's character takes up the case (not necessarily by choice) and argues that they were just acting on orders that they could not disobey. This is one of Jack Nicholson's best roles and he is believable in that role. I have seen this so many times and I do not get bored of it at all.
This is an amazing ... Read More
Rating: - The Best Law Movie EVER
This movie was the best law movie I've EVER seen. With maybe the only exception being "The Last Samari" this has got to be Tom Cruise's best movie. The acting in it was superb! Jack Nicholson has that great creepy fear about him. If you even think law movies are o.k. then you HAVE to see this movie.

Rating: - Can you handle the truth? Cracker(JACK) cast & script with Reiner at the top of his game
Absorbing and crowd-pleasing adaptation of Aaron Sorkin's hit Broadway play from director Rob Reiner about two Marines charged with the murder of a fellow GI at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba with a tangled web of power and a green defense lawyer (excellently played by Cruise) assigned to follow the motions without a trial. Superb performances all around especially Nicholson in rare form as a colonel with one hell of a Napoleon complex. Trivial note: Bodison was a production assistant to Reiner from previous films; this ... Read More
