Amazon.com Essentials:
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.
