A FEW GOOD MEN


NEVER get fooled by the title is sumthin nthat i ve always learnt in my years of movie watching....so by the name all i cud gather is that it is sumthing abt a bunch of ppl who r good....
but at the end of the movie...u ll be damn sure that there are a few good men...but who all???

COLOMBIA PICTURES
A FEW GOOD MEN
paints the picture of the illegal code of conduct that is prevalent in the US defense forces and the effects it can have.Boasting a galaxy of stars it doesnt disappoint by one bit....
The movie has Tom cruise,Demi moore in the lead and Jack Nicholson(jus overthrew Al pacino as my fav actor).It al starts when a marine is about to be harmed by two other marines..As it later turns out,the victim dies and the two marines face the song but they claim that they just followed orders and it was not bcos of any personal reasons.Tom is a lawyer from harward working with the Navy and is being selected by the Navy to represent both of those marines.Demi moore also is seriously intrested in this case so much that she joins hands wid tom to free the marines.The ordes were not regular orders but a military code of discipline which is completely illlegal but is still followed just for the sake of discipline.So the marines find them in deep shit bcos the navy denies any knowledge of giving any direct orders.Now it is a question of whether Tom will win the case and make public the crazy code that these ppl follow..that is for the viewer to watch.
Although Tom and Moore occupy most of the screen time it is Jack Nicholson who steals the show with vintage perfomances.His perfomance in the climax can be compared with Al Pacino s one in Scet of a woman..what an actor!!! the dialogues were excelent,any wannabe defensee wud luv these dialogues(particularly of Jacks)
As mentioned earlier i am still not thro with who the good men in this movie really are.For me it was Jack and his bunch of marines who follow the code and seve it wid pride.My dad thought it was Tom and the gang..wateva it is worth every second that u r gonna spend on it..
