“In the heart of the nation's capital, in an American government courthouse, one man will stop at nothing to maintain his honor, and another will stop at nothing to find the truth. » This slogan sums up the tone of the film A Few Good Men. Two soldiers caught between good and evil will maintain hope and loyalty while wishing for the best. Will the instigator of all this be driven by his own anger to reveal the truth?
