    Few Good Men, A (1992)

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    Tom Cruise is a brilliant but lazy Navy lawyer assigned to defend two young Marines accused of murdering a member of their own platoon in a hazing exercise on a military base in Cuba.

    Only a year out of law school, Cruise is cocky, arrogant, and so afraid of being compared with his father – who was himself a great military lawyer – that he’s never even seen the inside of a courtroom.

    He’s a fast-talking, ambulance-chasing smartass whose major talent is making fast deals and plea bargains.

    Demi Moore, as a fellow lawyer who got passed over in the case because she’s a woman, is not as skilful, but she’s got passion.

    It’s her unshakable faith in the defendant’s right to a fair trial that pushes Cruise to delve deeper into the case. In the course of their investigation, they uncover some shocking evidence that damns the cigar-chewing camp commander himself, a vicious, dangerous psycho who defends his men no matter what they do.

    Jack Nicholson’s quiet, insolent, corrosive rage, controlled behind a smiling mask of contempt, is one of the film’s most harrowing elements.

    Despite all of the military jargon about “code reds” and ethics under orders, this is cracking good stuff about people who grow up when they learn how to fight overwhelming odds because they believe in something.

    It is challenging and suspenseful, and its issues timeless and universal. It’s also nice to see Demi Moore with some clothes on for a change.

    This is what they promised us when I was a kid. What happened? 

All I have is 700 channels of rubbish on the TV in High Def, TikTok, Facebook and a phone I can take photographs with . . .

    Ironically, this post has jumped off the page at me. You'll probably get most traffic today because everyone will want to see what they might be missing!
