A Few Good Men (DVD, 2001, Special Edition)

When two Marines are accused of killing a fellow soldier at Guantanamo base in Cuba, rookie navy attorney Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) and Lt. Com. JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore) are assigned to defend them at the court martial back in Washington. Kaffee, a lazy hotshot, is inclined to plea out the case, but Galloway pushes him and co-counsel Lt. Sam Weinberg (Kevin Pollak) to dig deeper. This means questioning an array of officers played by Kevin Bacon, Keifer Sutherland, J.T.Walsh, Christopher Guest, and eventually the intimidating base commander, Colonel Nathan Jessep (Jack Nicholson). The climactic confrontation between Kaffee and Jessup in the courtroom is justly celebrated. Long before he created "The West Wing" and "Sports Night," Aaron Sorkin wrote the play, then the screenplay, on which this somewhat slick and pat but still excellent and very moving 1992 film was based, under the direction of Rob Reiner.

A great movie to add to your collection. Tom Cruise, Demi Moore and a host of other great movie stars are featured in this movie with great drama, action, suspense.

Before Tom Cruises couch jumping days, he was an A list actor. And when he was an A list actor this was arguable his best work. Although Nicholson is phenomenal as well as Demi Moore and everyone else in it this movie is a must own for the story line.

A sad story about the degradation of our military and the neutering of our last line of defense in this country. It is sad to see story lines like this playing out all over the world as we fight the war on terror. Lets spend more time supporting our troops and less time critisizing how they keep us free.

...A FEW GOOD MEN IS ONE OF THE BEST FILMS YOU WILL EVER SEE. TOM CRUISE DOES AN EXCELENT JOB, DEMI MOORE IS SIMPLY SUPERB, AND JACK NICHOLSON GIVES A PERFORMANCE OF A LIFETIME! THIS IS A TRULY SPECTACULAR FILM WHICH TALES PLACE IN A COURTROOM SITUATION ANS DEALS WITH A POSSIBLE WAR CRIME COMMITED BY HIGH RANKING OFFICER-PLACING JACK NICHOLSON ON THE STAND, WITH TOM CRUISE ACTING AS HIS CROSS-EXAMINER. ONE OF THE GREATEST MILITARY FILMS EVER WRITTEN, A FEW GOOD MEN SHEDS LIGHT ON THE MARINE CORE LIKE NEVER BEFORE. MUST SEE FILM, I RATE THIS ONE TWO THUMBS UP, 5 STARS! *****

This movie has always been a favorite of my husbands. He states taht this is one of the best movies of its time to depict how the Marine loyalty is. He was a marine, and watches the movie everytime it is on tv, so I bought it for him to watch whenever he wants.

i bought this dvd it turn out to be a good deal i thought i m not able to get fast but i got it in two days which is amazing

My favorite line in the movie is when Jack Nicholson, the wayward Colonel in charge of the military base, Gitmo, retorts to Tom Cruise, a lawyer for the Navy, "You can't handle the truth". The interaction between Cruise and Nicholson is mesmerizing and gutsy! In my opinion one of their finest performances.

This movie is great, you get to see a little bit of what goes on in the court room. Great acting Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson give a hell of a performance.

was a good movie had a few good actors in it and was realy worth watching or adding to you dvd sets a must have

Great Movie a must see. Jack Nicholson is award wimming and Tom Cruise turns in a great and moving performance, Demi Moore and Kevin Bacon also

When two marines are charged with murdering a member of their platoon during an unsanctioned disciplinary action in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the armed forces hire a lieutenant they believe is a lightweight defense attorney. Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) prides himself in having successfully plea-bargained every one of his 44 cases and would just as well make this one his 45th. However, ambitious internal affairs officer Lieutenant Commander Jo Ann Galloway (Demi Moore) smells a rat in the form of a hushed-up practice known as Code Red and, furious at Kaffee's halfhearted efforts, gets hired as the younger cadet's defender. Aided by Lt. Com. Galloway's prodding, Lt. Kaffee begins to realize the rottenness of the whole affair and sets to take on the whole Guantanamo Bay marine corps and its codes, a decision that makes inevitable a ferocious head-to-head showdown with an immovable force. Irascible Colonel Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson, in one of the most striking performances of his fabled career) heads the Cuban marine base and is on the cusp of appointment to the National Security Council. Jessup embodies both the necessity and the evil in necessary evil and does not take lightly to anyone questioning his or his corps' methods. Aaron Sorkin's script is adapted from his own gripping award-winning Broadway play and is skillfully brought to the screen by director Rob Reiner.

First off what a great cast. Demi Moore, Tom Cruise, Jack Nickolson and Kevin Bacon. Not to mention a great supporting cast as well. This movie definately kept me on the edge of my seat but not like an action movie would but like a great drama or suspense. This will be a classic one day and in some circles already is. The reason I bought this movie was due in part to the starring cast and I Love Military dramas. Kevin Bacon and Tom cruise while still young were to me in their respective primes. This movie never gets old, unless you watch it everyday then it would. Great flick not many like it.

A Few Good Men is a really great movie that marks the tale of a young lawywer defending two marines It provides for great suspense and great performances from tom cruise and demi moore

Powerful performance by Jack Nicholson. He toys with Tom Cruises character, but Cruise rises to the expectation

This is such a great movie, and I'm glad I could add it to my collection through this source. I also show this movie in some of my classes because it portrays difficult ethical issues that the attorneys must resolve. In additional to the movie's being a truly good film with a great story and great cast, this movie is a good teaching resource.

to be honest i have not sen this movie yet. but i like tom cruise and jack nicholson. both are great actors. i just want to see the famous line " you cant handle the truth"

When acting, writing, and directing are this good; how can you go wrong. Jack Nicholson is brilliant, Tom Cruise is his urbane self and Demi Moore shows intelligence and persistance as well as being delicious eye candy.
