Channel 4 is airing the 1992 classic 'A Few Good Men' tonight at 10:35pm. The film, directed by Rob Reiner, stars Tom Cruise as Lt. Daniel Kaffee, a military lawyer defending two U.S. Marines charged with killing a fellow Marine at Guantánamo Bay. Demi Moore plays Lt. Cdr. JoAnne Galloway, who convinces Kaffee that the accused were following orders, leading to a courtroom showdown with Col. Nathan R. Jessep, played by Jack Nicholson.
More than three decades after its release, the film continues to receive high praise from audiences. One fan on Rotten Tomatoes described it as 'a masterclass in acting, story,' while another highlighted the intense face-off between Cruise and Nicholson, noting Nicholson's iconic line, 'You can't handle the truth!'
Critics and viewers alike have lauded the film's script by Aaron Sorkin, based on his play, and the performances of its star-studded cast. One reviewer called it 'the best court drama in a movie,' while another said it 'has improved over time' and 'never gets old.' The courtroom scene, in particular, is frequently cited as one of the greatest in cinema history.
'A Few Good Men' airs on Channel 4 on Saturday, 10 January, at 10:35pm.
