A Few Good Men

- CubaneFebruary 19, 2026A lot of the finer minutia of trial court etiquette is left out, but there are some subtle nuggets of genius at play in Kaffee’s litigation. Saying things you know will be objected to by the counterparty simply because the jury can’t unhear them is one; using prop rebuttal witnesses to intimidate a hostile witness on the stand is another. Both are both real strategies used by actual trial lawyers. Also the use of an emotional support baseball bat is very accurate, per my anonymous sources.
- LivewireAdminFebruary 3, 2026I forget just how good the performances are in this when I haven't re-watched it in a while. Tom Cruise is excellent....I love action Tom Cruise but I miss serious actor Tom Cruise. I wish he would pop up every now and then to do something like this. Which I guess is part of the problem, to my knowledge they're not really making movies like this anymore. Would be nice if there were like, 15 Aaaron Sorkins working in Hollywood. RIP Rob Reiner
- BILLs BackerMafiaDecember 4, 2025The title roles belong to every actor playing UNITED States Marine Corps. Jack Nicholson plays Senior Officer Colonel Nathan Jessup rumored by the President for appointment to National Security Counsel head. Kevin Bacon plays prosecutor Judge Advicate General. Navy LtCdr Demi Moore is head of Internal Affairs to supervise LtJg Tom Cruise defending 2 Marines accused of murder. This is both a courtroom drama AND on location visit to GITMO US Territory on the coast of Cuba. I am a Navy Vet serving 30 years before this film. A 1963 Chevy 4 Dr hard top was mine then and for Cruise 2000. Cross examination of Jessup leads to the famous line : YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH. This movie is NOT for popcorn but is for whiskey and cigars.
