- I enjoyed the courtroom scenes a great deal, as well. Cruise
- and Nicholson were very fun to watch. I thought a great deal less of
- Moore, however.
-
- I think that Hackman's performance in UNFORGIVEN, although
- less showy than Nicholson's in A FEW GOOD MEN, was superior and
- more deserving of the Oscar. (I also think that UNFORGIVEN should
- win Best Picture, as well.)
