A Few Good Men is the story of two Lawyers (Tom Cruise + Demi Moore) defending two soldiers of murdering one of their fellow comrades. Jack Nicholson is in charge of the base they are from in Cuba. Nicholson is a tough old-timey stereotype of the ultimate soldier. He does a great performance perfectly worthy of this Oscar Nomination for BSA. They must prove the soldiers were only obeying orders told by Nicholson. It is based on Aaron Sorkin's (Social Network, The West Wing) play of the same name, and he also wrote the screenplay. It is pretty similar to The Social Network with a vernacular only used by those mentioned in his movies such as soldiers and Harvard geniuses. The pace of the conversations and dialogue is also very fast-paced similar to The Social Network. I think it was a good courtroom drama, and I give it 3/5 stars.
