A FEW GOOD MEN

"You cant handle the truth"

"Code red"

This segment is about one of the best and engaging movies I have ever watched “A few good men”.This movie is adapted from a theatre play.Normally plays don’t work for movie audience but still it has been tailor made for the movie audience with well written screenplay and an excellent cast and direction which has made it a commercial and critical success.

Released in the year 1992,Directed by Rob Reiner written by Aoron sorkin,starring tom cruise,demi moore ,jack Nicolson,Kevin bacon,it has been nominated for four academy awards but has not won any but this movie is being recognized as one of the best movies in the drama genre.

This movie is about a careless lawyer becomes serious and fights for the lives of two marines in the murder of private Santiago while executing their order from their superior to punish the private by the code called code red.The movie shifts between losing and winning the legal battle but finally whether the lawyer with his team wins the battle or not makes the end of the story.

Tom cruise is a lucky actor.An actor becomes a superstar based upon the good movies he initially gets.He is the one actor to whom the best movies are set automatically and all patriotic ones like the one born on 4th july,rain man,top gun...this all  movies are the reason for him to reach the superstardom.cast is excellent and they have made wonders in the movie.Demi moore looked great in the movie.The cast have made an excellent performance.This movie was a drama in the theater and the screenplay was made to suit the cinema audience as it is true that the drama cannot work for cinema.but still we have few scenes which works great in drama that is voice modulation,increase or decrease your voice.

Like Anthony hopkins in silence of the lambs where he comes in short time but takes away the attention of the audience and shocks them.Jack nicholson takes away the audience in the court room scene, with a splendid,amazing.Nobody can match this versatile actor.

Tom cruise plays great in first as a careless lawyer but as the story progress he becomes involved about the case and performs well in each and every scene.

The court scenes are realistic,amazing and the movie strength lies on the well coordinated fact based dialogues in the court room.music goes with the movie not dominating the movie.

This movie is recommended for all  drama and suspense movie audience
