I wish there was a sequel where Tom Cruise and Demi Moore have triplets, and it'd be called "A Few Little Babies."
I know I waited a REALLY long time to give this a watch, but in my defense, I was a very young child when it came out, and military legal drama doesn't really scream STORMY.
It's just so good. I was locked in from the first scene. It was perfectly paced with an incredible cast. My only note is that I think it's surprising Kiefer Sutherland got the prestigious "and" in the opening credits. You know, at the end when it's like "and Kiefer Sutherland as..." Was he a bigger deal in 1992 than I am giving him credit for? Maybe.
A Few Good Men
In the heart of the nation's capital, in a courthouse of the U.S. government, one man will stop at nothing to keep his honor, and one will stop at nothing to find the truth.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sharp legal procedural that builds to a climactic courtroom confrontation, wrestling with institutional hypocrisy and the price of truth-telling within a rigid hierarchy.
