Tom Cruise's classic courtroom drama 'A Few Good Men' has been added to Amazon Prime Video for streaming in the UK. Written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Rob Reiner, the film stars Cruise as military lawyer Daniel Kaffee.
Assigned to defend two Marines charged with murder, Kaffee uncovers a dark conspiracy that pits him against intimidating commanding officer Colonel Nathan R. Jessep, played by Jack Nicholson. The film features Nicholson's iconic 'you can't handle the truth' speech, widely regarded as one of cinema's greatest sequences.
The star-studded cast also includes Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland and Cuba Gooding Jr. in supporting roles. Over three decades after its release, the film now joins Amazon Prime Video's UK library.
'A Few Good Men' holds an 84% positive score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, with an even stronger audience score of 89%. Radio Times praised Nicholson's character as 'the ultimate establishment figure,' while Total Film highlighted its 'classy cast' and 'slick script.' TIME Magazine called it 'extraordinarily well-made.'
Audience reviews have been equally glowing, with users describing it as 'iconic and beautifully made' and 'the quintessential military courtroom drama.' Earlier this year, Cruise reflected on working with Nicholson, calling the experience 'extraordinary' and recalling how crew members filled the rafters to watch their courtroom confrontation.
