The Movie: I don't know anyone who doesn't know the famous courtroom exchange between Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson from this movie:

I want the TRUTH!
You can't handle the truth!

Even people who have never seen the movie know these lines, and they've been parodied tens of thousands of times in the ten years since A Few Good Men was released.

Tom Cruise stars as a green, but ambitious Navy lawyer who has been assigned to work along with Demi Moore in defending two young Marines in their murder trial. Through much mystery and suspense, a big coverup is exposed. This is quite a good movie, and I'm sure it was one of the factors that spurred on the big courtroom drama craze of the mid 1990's.

And in the world of six degrees of Kevin Bacon (you know, where you connect just about any Hollywood actor with Kevin Bacon), this film is definitely one of the great gateways, as Kevin Bacon does play a role in this film, along with Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Jack Nicholson, Christopher Guest, Cuba Gooding Jr., Kiefer Sutherland, Noah Wyle and Kevin Pollak... you can connect almost everybody through this one film!

The DVD: The anamorphic transfer faithfully reproduced the beautiful photography of this film, but did seem to exhibit a mild overdose of edge-sharpening, but nothing too crazy. The audio was also pretty clean, with a surprisingly large amount of use of the surround channels.

Special features included some trailers for this and other movies (in pan and scan! UGH!), a featurette, filmographies, and directors commentary by Rob Reiner.
