Good, Bad, and Yuck
Most people, in today's America, won't get what's wrong with this film. That's born out by the ratings here. Aside from the Hollywood/politically-correct/juvenille-preachiness of this film, there is some fantastic acting in scenes. I purchased this film just to watch those scenes. That's one of the great things about DVDs, you can jump over the ridiculous and go straight to the more artistic work.

Great Movie with an Amazing Cast
The DVD is great. Lots of Subtitle options not to mention the fact that the Movie is just simply amazing with a great Cast.

Top notch entertainment
I could spend a paragraph or two telling you what the plot/story of this movie is about. Or you could read any one of the hundreds of other reviews for this film, and find out that way. Most of you probably know it by now, as it is. A Few Good Men is on my (and my wife's) list of Top Ten movies of all time....with plenty of good reasons. As it has been said in many other reviews, the acting in this film (from all the supporting actors as well) is excellent. The story is good too....very interesting, actually. It would be easy to look at this movie as simply a "blockbuster" kind of movie....which, essentially, it is. It's got A-list talent in front of, and behind the camera....it made a hell of alot of money at the box office, so yes it's a "blockbuster". But it's also a damn good story, as mentioned before. Another thing I liked about this movie, was the fact that the writers avoided any romantic involvement between Tom Cruise and Demi Moore's characters....something most other films on this scale would have done. And I know it's been said in many other reviews, but I'm going to say it again anyway....Jack Nicholson really is the cornerstone of this movie. No, not because of that famous "You can't handle the truth...." line. But because his acting really is that good. It seems so natural. His mannerisms are so natural, that he could pass for a real life military leader....I am in the military myself, so I can vouch for this. And even though this movie is over two hours, I was never once bored....you won't be either.
