Classic Movie Wednesday: Nicholson tells Cruise he “can’t handle the truth!” in “A Few Good Men”

http://www.jnpp.ee/dvd/Pildid/DVD%20PILDID/A%20Few%20Good%20Men.jpgTom Cruise was, for a very long time, the biggest movie star in the world. He isn’t anymore but will try to reclaim some of his former glory this summer with the action-comedy Knight and Day which looks quite promising.

Despite his couch-jumping and Scientology weirdness, I’ll probably always have a soft spot for Tom who is an incredible screen presence and a very good actor.

One of his best performances in a career filled with them was in 1992′s A Few Good Men as Lt. Daniel Kaffee, a neo military lawyer who defends Marines accused of murder who contend they were acting under orders.

We find out that those orders came from Col. Nathan R. Jessep (Jack Nicholson) who in this riveting courtroom scene admits what he’s done under blistering questioning by Lt. Kaffee.
