TITLE |
Few
Good Men, A (1992) |
|
NOTES |
Powerful and
slick drama which will hold you to the end. |
|
Cruise is
the bright, arrogant lawyer chosen to defend two |
|
young
marines who are accused of killing another marine at |
|
the
Guantanomo Naval Air Station in Cuba. |
|
Their
defence balances on whether they were given the order |
|
Enough is
going on and Cruise tredding on Demi's toes keeps us
entertained. The performances including Ms. Moore are good.
Nicholson is both quietly and loudly menacing. In two shots
lasting seconds Cruises banters with an old black
newsvendor who wears an eye patch and a stick. This I consider is
simply establishing Cruise's character's street cred and
showing that he's not just a stuck-up Harvard lawyer son of a
deceased Attorney General. (Compare Mel Gibson's encounter
with black Vietnam Vet in a wheelchair in "Conspiracy
Theory" above) |
