A Few Good Men [DVD] [1992]

This is such a great movie, I loved this when it first came out. I saw it in the theaters and I will be watching this again!

Awesome Movie to add to my collection! Great direction and action packed!

A Few Good Men is still a pretty good 90's mainstream film about the call of duty and acceptable behavior. A nice drama with suspense, and some great, iconic performances by big names like Jack Nicholson. Movie aside, the 4K UHD is a true stunner. This is one of the releases that had people calling Sony the undisputed champ of the format. The detail, clarity, pixel density and fullness will floor you and the wider color gamut + HDR is applied to tastefully, accurately and noticeably... shadows so deep, with so much retained detail. Automobiles with perfect sheen. Glints and reflections in the actors eyes that will strike you as seemingly impossible. Can't recommend this release enough to anyone looking to see how great older movies can look in 4K HDR, with a pretty enjoyable movie to boot. If you're of the mindset that only newer movies, shot with digital cameras etc can shine on UHD, this will surely change your mind.

This movie came out in 1992 so Many have already discussed the plot, its significance, acting etc so I will refrain from redundancy and focus solely upon the transfer to Blu Ray for this 5 star drama. I will say that it is fun to see actors, now famous, in small parts at the beginning of their careers like Christopher Guess and Cuba Gooding Jr. VIDEO...The transfer is pretty clean and actually seemed to get better as the movie proceeded. This might be because the indoor court scenes are more controlled in their lighting than outdoor scenes might be. The color grading appeared very natural with good skin tones and warm coloration during most of the film. Night scenes tend to be a touch cooler as one might expect. At no time did I see any artifacting or any other issues with the film. There is a soft grain throughout but nothing that would distract anyone. The contrast is especially good for the close ups and wide shots are done with a relatively narrow depth of field so that backgrounds, more often than not, are gently out of focus. AUDIO...The audio is a lossless PCM 5.1 which brings a positively transient openness to your speakers. As this is a dialogue driven film, I would venture to guess that 95% of your audio will be from the center channel. The front side channels have a few instances of directional foley sounds but they are really very few. Your LFE channel will be and stay asleep as even the couple of lightning instances towards the end of the film do not go deep enough to allow your sub to do much. Of course, this might also depend upon where your crossover is set on the sub. For me, mine took a vacation. The extras include typical commentary, interviews with some of the actors, writer and director and a making of. Jack Nicholson did not take part in any of the interviews but many who did glad handed him without revealing much at all. Also, and this I hate on discs, are previews for other movies and a small promotion for Blu Ray itself. I would bet my bottom dollar that this film was not remastered at all since many of the 'Coming to Blu Ray' films listed have been out for a great many years. All in all, for a great courtroom drama and a film that retains its legs, 'A Few Good Men' was well worth the small price I paid. Just know that it is not a demo disc by any means. All my reviews focus solely on the quality of the transfers to Blu Ray of both video and audio and I do hope that this review has been of some help to you in deciding upon your purchase decisions and that I am on the correct path with this type of review. Thanks for readin

One of the great courtroom dramas in modern day. As a lawyer I generally hate courtroom movies and shows because they are so unrealistic and truly this isn’t much different. A real courtroom is never this exciting or tense and there’s no way a real judge would allow a witness to be badgered in the final scene. But I was able to suspend my belief because of his great all the performances were. Tom Cruise, like him or not, is a great actor and has really been overlooked by academy awards voters. Much like Al Pacino he’ll likely win for something weaker in his career than some of his brilliant work in dramas like this. The 4K is really clean and brings out the darks better than the Blu-ray. The price makes this one an easy double dip for me. Although I promised not to re buy buy rays the price made the exception for this great Rob Reiner drama.

You can never go wrong with the classics, and in Blu-ray, even better picture quality.

This is ONE of my all-time favorite movie. I've probably watched it 300 times and I can recite it line by line. I once wrote the script during the course of one semester in a class I hated. I still have the notebook. Demi Moore definitely is the film's weakest link, but the acting is superb and Aaron Sorkin's story sucks you in from the opening minute. There is so much great dialogue, headlined by Tom Cruise's courtroom battle with Jack Nicholson at the movie's climax. Too many people say the movie is average because it's "too slow," but I really believe anyone who appreciates good acting and good stories has to put this one near the top of their list.

The film is a story the explains many facets of the Marine Corps, the relationships between Marine Officers and Enlisted Men within an Infantry Battalion and the movie does that job quite well. Also, the movie is well cast with brilliant actors, it is written with a cracking dialogue that you will not forget, and it was very well Directed – which, all in the end means a great viewers experience. It also explorers the intricacies of a Military Court Martial and it unfortunately brings to light a Code Red incident that should not have occurred. It’s bottom line – simply a great and memorable view.
