A FEW GOOD HOMEWORKS - BDM204

Sup? Did you order the "code red" or not?
That's right. This is a review on 'A FEW GOOD MEN'.

Its a movie based on the play written by Aaron Sorkin. In terms of screenplay, this movie IS rip-roaring. This discussion can be easily ended by few people who would just say "bro...Tom Cruise movie bro", but there is more to it. "Bro...Jack Nicholson bro". I'm kidding, I was refering to screenplay,dialogues & direction.

Formal review:
It hit the theatres on Dec 11, 1992 and Oscars were written all over it but only made it to the nominations. Directed by Rob Reiner and written by Aaron Sorkin, this made Tom look like just a cherry on top of the cake.
A military courtroom drama with words finely put toghether to make ear candy dialogues that pulls the auidence and makes them to sit on the edge, throughout the movie. Lt. Daniel Kaffe played by Tom Cruise is a young Navy lawyer freshly out of law school trying to walk on his late father's footsteps and struggling to live upto his high expectations. He is assigned as a defence lawyer to Pfc.Louden Downey and Lance Cpl.Harold Dawson who are accused of the muder of Pfc.William Santiago. Dawson and Downey claim that they were given orders of "code red" by Lt.Johnathan Kendrick, who follows only Bible and the orders given by his superiors.
Lt.Commander Gallawoy(Demi Moore) is assigned as asst.Lawyer to Kaffe. She insists on trial as she believes that there is more than the facts which are placed by the investigators of this case. On contrary, Kaffe believes that trial would be a mistake as its clear that the hustle between Dawson-Downey and Santiago caused the death and they would loose the case.
After Kaffe realises that a young lawyer(himself) who hasn't seen the courtroom ever is assigned on such a high profile case must be to keep him out of the courtroom on this one too, he decides to SLAMDUNK Col.Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson) who is believed to be the one who ordered the "code red" secretly.
The cinematography and editing were in complete discipline. Not less not more. Robert Richardson and Robert Leighton(cinematographer and editor) stayed unselfish and only delivered what the script demanded.
Overall: 4 out of 5.

This movie is one of my favourites and it delivered famous catch phrases through dialogues like "You don't need to wear a patch on your arm to have honor", "<Why do you like them so much? Because they stand on a wall and say, "Nothing's going to hurt you tonight, not on my watch.">"
No dialogues or images were a waste and the movie was directed with a lot of care. Watch it, you won't regret. And if you do, SUE ME... I'll hire Kaffe for my defence. :)
