Can I stick up for 12 Angry Men? I LOVE A Few Good Men. I really do. In my Top 10 for sure. Just looking at it as a courtroom drama though, 12 Angry Men is better IMO. All being in 1 room for the most part. The camera angles, lighting, etc. is better. Both though had tremendous casts. Both had outstanding performances by almost everyone involved.

Movie might be good. But the basic premise is BS, they were on guard-duty on Guantanamo Bay, a base US have rented from Cuba for 100 or so years, and they had to CR one of the privates because he didn't measure up to some standard? Why not simply dismiss him and send him somewhere less stressful? That station couldn't have been too stressful at the time. Absolute BS.

@ResidentPetrolhead 11 ай бұрын

It's the way he really leans into "You, Lt. *Weinberg*?" that sort of invites that reading. Is it possible that he leans into his name because he's a nerdy guy with "whine" in his very name? Sure. But given what a piece of shit Jessup is shown to be in every other regard, he hasn't necessarily earned the benefit of the doubt there, you know? I don't think it's black and white, but even going back to my first watch of it back in 1992, it sure felt like Nicholson was putting some extra backspin on that delivery that he wouldn't have if the co-counsel's name had been "Smith".

I’m in the minority here, but I think one of the weaker things in this movie is Tom Cruise. Most of the time, even in the trial scene, he’s just way too much. I’m not the biggest Jack Nicholson fan, but for me, his performance is what keeps the whole thing afloat, and without it, I probably wouldn’t be all that interested. I’m surprised at all the attention Cruise gets for it.
