the movie is awesome already but demi moore and her awful acting ruined any chance of this movie being one of the best movies of all time!!!

Yeah she can't do intense. In fact the only time her acting was somewhat passable was when she was whinging and moaning.

Director Rob Reiner’s 1992 military legal drama A Few Good Men, the first movie written by Aaron Sorkin, was an instant classic.

The movie had a gripping script and a stellar cast headlined by two of the most successful actors of all time, Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson.

Each gave powerful performances that have endured, with their tense final courtroom showdown making it impossible for anyone to ever again say they want the truth without immediately turning it into a bad impression.

Unfortunately, the movie’s leading lady also turned in something bad: her performance. As Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway Moore was stiff, barely spoke above a whisper, and couldn’t match the emotional level or range of her cast mates.

That’s why to this day viewers still strenuously object to her being in the movie.

she was clearly included for box office reasons in a 1992 marketplace

from an acting point of view she was a weak link but i thought she was ok, no more.

I thought she was pretty good.

I thought she was pretty good too, and I'm not even a fan of hers.

I didn't think she was bad at all. She played the role she was given adequately. I can't think of a scene of hers in which I'd declare it badly acted. 

Exactly. She was perfectly "okay"...certainly not a standout, but didn't have any cringe-worthy moments.

She was really good in this film

I thought she was good too. IMO, Tom Cruise was the weak link.

Only thing her performance lacked was perform licking on Kaffee's weener (as Jessup indirectly suggested).
Other than that I don't see why it should be considered a blow.

Lol she was perfect in her role, she acted way better in this than she does some other movies.
