Actors: Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi
Moore, Kevin Bacon, Kevin Pollak, Wolfgang Bodison, James Marshall, J. T. Walsh,
Kiefer Sutherland
Rating: 9 out of 10, I think this is
the first film where I realized Cruise was a very good actor to go along with
his action credentials as he holds his own in one of the most electrifying
scenes in movie history with the iconic Jack Nicholson. The real star of this
film though is the script which is smart, funny and a little self-important. I
cringed a couple times at the extreme license taken with the military backdrop
but it was too much fun to distract. The supporting cast is very good with Demi
Moore before she became a caricature of herself and Kevin Pollack as Cruise’s conscience.
The movie is worth watching in its entirety merely for that final confrontation
in the courtroom.
MVP: Cruise as Lt Kaffe, defending two
lone Marines against their commander
