Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore star in Rob Reiner's unanimously acclaimed drama about the dangerous difference between following orders and following one's conscience. Cruise stars as a brash Navy lawyer who's teamed with a gung-ho litigator (Moore) in a politically explosive murder case. Charged with defending two Marines accused of killing a fellow soldier, they are confronted with complex issues of loyalty and honor, including its most sacred code and its most formidable warrior (Nicholson). Superbly directed with a trio of powerhouse performances and an outstanding supporting cast including Kevin Pollak, Kiefer Sutherland and Kevin Bacon.

Always appreciated how fair minded the judge was. He warned Kaffee a few times but always allowed him to continue when new evidence was brought to light.

[JHFett]

The way Kaffee corners the Marine's arguments against their own logic is exquisite.

[Primus]

In the final scene of the movie, I loved how Bacon’s character remarked “I’ve got to go arrest Lieutenant Kendrick.” to which Cruise says, “Tell him I said Hi!”

[palmerlp]

Kaffee is such a well-defined character. He doesn’t give a shit about any of the stuff that Marines pride themselves on, which makes him exactly the kind of guy who can infuriate them.

This movie is so well acted by the whole cast and the script is impeccable to boot. Fine piece of American cinema.

Kaffee's direct examination was brilliant. He connected the Curtis Bell incident to a Code Red. I'm sure the jury was able to see that. Plus, I love how he got under Kendrick's skin.

Kiefer Sutherland is an underated actor. He was so good in this movie and everything he does

[jt-ffyx]

This line of questioning was actually critical to the entire case.

[mayorrodgers]

Much has been made of Tom and Jack’s performance in this movie, and rightly so, but Kiefer nailed it here. Some of the small details, looks, glances that he makes. Perfection.

[leadlefthand]

This film had so many good moments overshadowed by the exchange between Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise at the end. The last part is what people remember. But the build up to that scene was instrumental in making the climax of the film as good as it was. A Few Good Men could be made into a textbook on what good story-telling is.

[jamess]

The way Kendrick glares over at Dawson shows his utter contempt for even being questioned. The whole court scene(s) are so well acted.

[marioparedes]

This is a great scene, the way Kiefer answers the questions, calmly, then blows his kool when asked about Santiago, great acting,

[gregshock]

Cruise is a damn good actor. So are Bacon and Sutherland.

[gregcosta]

I love the way Caffee works effectively in making Kendrick quietly seething inside. He knew he was a smug pos.

When Maverick had to stop flying for a bit and deal with court matters

[Fitchy-kewz]

I love that, "not so fast" from the judge

[ronrotz]

Tom Cruise is a Gun Maverick and A Few Good Men are two of my favorite movies of all-time..

[catzee]

Oh my gosh, I can't stop watching Tom Cruise in this...he was an awesome actor...way underrated....He was excellent this court battle...this scene was great.

[georgesouthwick]

I loved the Kiefer Sutherland line, “we like the Navy, whenever we have to go someplace to fight, you always give us a ride”.

[TommyRosati]

One of my all-time favorites. A great example of when everything lines up for a great film. The writing, the directing, the acting, the story...it's all top-notch.
