“You were sick the day they taught law at law school” 😂 one of my favorite movie lines
"Your passion is compelling. But it's also useless!" is just gold! I use this from time to time👍🏼
Same!
Sam took a drink just to get the bottle out of Kaffee's hand. Subtle touch in the scene.
👏👏👏 why TH-cam comments are a treasure.
Wow 😯
N I thought he genuinely wanted to drink too.
Kaffe was almost done
That's probably true, which Tom definitely needed at that point. Good eye!
"Why does a Lieutenant Junior Grade with nine months' experience and a track record for plea bargaining get assigned to a murder case? Would it be so it never sees the inside of a courtroom?" This was actually true. Aaron Sorkin read an article asking that very question about Military cases that were assigned to Jr Officers with little or no experience instead of to more experienced officers. Turn out that Senior officers did not want to risk their careers working controversial cases.
I think it's more like the opposite. Kaffee made a reputation of handling everything outside of court. Always bargaining instead of digging deeper. The hopes by "division", and in a way, Jessup, were that everything would be papered over.
Aaron Sorkin's sister is a Lawyer in the Military. He told her a real story that led to this movie. The main real guy sued the movie company.
Because it is a movie
I never really understood that watching this as a kid
That’s true generally, but in this particular case, the senior officer who didn’t want to put his career at risk wasn’t another lawyer, but Col. Jessup: as mentioned earlier, after his tour at Gitmo ends, he’s going to be appointed Director of Operations for the National Security Council - that post is an automatic ticket to Brigadier General, provided there are no hiccups … having a Marine under his command murdered (on his order) by two other Marines, was a mess neither he nor the Corps needed, hence the desire to sweep everything under the rug …
I love how Sam stuck around for a drink like a true friend, even after Kaffee lost his shit. He also got the bottle out of his hand by doing so...

@Nicholas Grandfield That's the best comment I've seen.😁❤🤣🌎🖖🕊🇨🇦🇺🇸🌎🖖

tom's acting in this scene is just masterful
@@jameswilliams-zr8co I like Tom's Jim Carrey impression.
Those are his "various administrative duties."
“Don’t do this to yourself…” Great delivery and line by Pollack. Great actor.
“The galactically stupid” 😂 I’m dead lol 😂
This movie is proof that you don't need a multi billion dollar budget with copious amounts of CGI to make an awesome movie. You just need a great script and great actors.
Hollywood rarely makes movies like this anymore:(
It's easier to spend billions of dollars with copious amounts of CGI then to find an exceptional writer and an actor that can carry a movie.
Woke culture destroyed film making.
@Nicholas Grandfield Your the one that lives under a rock. You under value how hard it is to be an exceptional writer.
Legends like these are almost all gone
Joanne called him chickens-- and a coward when she can’t even prep her witness properly. Missing out that Downey got the order from Dawson… what kind of lawyer is she? Kafee is right to call her galactically stu--.
She may be less experienced but Kaffee is the junior officer here. He's lucky Jo waa so tolerant with him - there are plenty of moments in the movie when she could have fried his butt for insubordination.
@@cherylhulting1301 No she couldn't. Not without blowing up the case she desperately wanted to try and win.
3:35 - That’s a great Jim Carrey impersonation right there. 😂
Jim "Herpes Speader" Carrey
"Isn't it true that you and Mrs. Cole have never made l-l-l-l-l-LAAAA!!"
This scene still gives me chills decades later. Especially watching the normally affable Cruise, like a sudden thunderstorm, turn on a drunken menace that briefly reaches Nicholsonian levels of malice as he berates Galloway, every word like a cobra's venom straight into her face. So well done, and a more than a bit unnerving!
He is right she is an idiot if you can’t prove he ordered the code red
Well said
This is probably what his Scientology "auditing" sessions were like
Like my dad. Not fun growing up w that kind of evil. But in a movie it's great.
This scene is foreshadowing of the nth degree. As soon as Demi Moore suggests putting Jessup(Nicholson) to the stand Cruise goes on a tantrum that is reminiscent of the reaction they've got out of Jessup himself when he was put on the stand and how that affront led to him getting owned by his own lack of restraint.
Kevin Pollak was great in this scene. I love how he delivered the line "And if I were Dawson and Downey and I had a choice between you or your father to represent me in this case, I'd choose you any day of the week and twice on Sunday."
Jason Alexander was first cast as Weinberg but he had to back out due to scheduling conflicts with Seinfeld. Pollack was the second choice But I think his performance was outstanding. Always wondered how Jason would have done any better or worse.
Which is preposterous - his father was a legend whose reputation was forged in winning huge major stakes trials (it can be inferred) and Danny is in his first trial. I was a trial attorney for many years and you can have all the ability and intelligence and judgement and erudition in the world in an attorney running their first trial and you still have an attorney in their first trial. There are so many things you cannot learn unless you learn them the hard way - by doing trial, after trial after trial after trial and you’re always learning. You would never in your right mind choose a first time attorney over a legendary trial lawyer, but that’s Hollywood!
@@frankmachin5438 Relax - Weinberg (Kevin Pollack) said what he did for two reasons, neither of which are “preposterous”: 1) he considers Kaffee his friend, and 2) he wants to rebuild Kaffee’s confidence in the wake of Markinson’s suicide and disintegration of their case.
Besides, every lawyer has a “first” trial - even his father.
It was his dad. He’s been arguing “cases” with dad all his life.
“Gosh, dad! Did you or did you NOT tell mom to ground me?!”
Came here to say the same thing. He really helps carry this scene. He has the wisdom to stay silent and let people vent...knowing that the aftermath will help create a better strategy.
I actually never liked Galloway being the sympathetic figure here. She was asking the lead attorney to commit contempt, and she called him a coward if he didn’t. It’s unfair to ask any attorney to put themselves in a position to destroy their career like that. Try doing it yourself Galloway before you shame another lawyer into doing it.
“ you call Jessep to the stand and you get it from him!” That line always makes me laugh 😂
Think about it, it's exactly what Jessup made Kendrick do. Who then put it on Dawson and Downey. Do something cause they don't want to look bad but want it done. Got to love the chain of command with the military.
@@jamesf791 the problem with the chain of command is that it relies on every link in the chain to be competent and of good character. I was a civilian contractor embedded in the military, was offered a civilian direct job there but passed because far too many men in that chain of command were men I knew i couldn't follow.
Her character since they leave the gym is terrible.
Agreed 100%
Today I learned that drunk enraged Tom Cruise = sober, calm Jim Carrey.
Underrated...
Finally found someone who hears this too!
I miss going to the theaters and seeing dramas such as this. Excellent writing, cinematography, acting and yes directing. And Tom Cruise movies had an extra buzz at the theaters. They're right when they say all good things come to an end.
Well he still gave us TOP GUN: MAVERICK & dont forget MISSION IMPOSSIBLE is still on the way.
@@leonardobraynen1524 The Mission Impossible series was ass, Jack Reacher was Ass. Cruise has done a lifetime of great work besides those shit projects.
@@UberKrispy what about his best project ever imo;
*THE LAST SAMURAI???*
@@UberKrispy the missions impossible series is incredible, you’re talking out of your ass
People were saying this shit when this movie came out too, and before that.
@05:35 "Is your father proud of you"?
"Don't do this to yourself."
Love the tone in those lines that both actors deliver.
"Are you drunk?"
"I don't know, are you beautiful?"
And you consider this smooth? 😂
😂😂😂
"what would you do"...Kevin's line is the catalyst for the whole end of the movie.
I love how they make out Kaffee as the douchebag, but Galloway is the one being unreasonable here. She's basically asking him to risk HIS career here, not hers, out of a thin sliver of a chance to get a confession out of Jessup with zero evidence.
And people might say to me that she is trying to fighting for what is right, yeah- only with Kaffee's neck on the line. lol. It's not like Kaffee didn't try to fight too. He was willing to bring Markinson in to win their case, it's not Kaffee's fault Markinson killed himself and lost a valuable witness.
And honestly it's a bit of a theme with her for the entire movie.
Let's not forget that her "strenuous objection" kind of knee capped one of Kaffee's cross examinations and she went out of her way to assume responsibility for Downey to force her way into the case but somehow never found out the dude was never there for Kendrick's code red order which Kaffee rightfully points is pretty important information given that it was a pretty crucial part of the case.
@@bigbearkat2010 right they lose the case without the confession an it was at the least stupid how he told on himself in the end.
And remember, the next day in court, she back peddled and said to Kaffee if he thinks he can't get him to back off because he will get into a lot of trouble. And she would know because she is "special" counsel to Internal Affairs, which isn't a real thing, BTW. That scene annoyed me and her entire character in this movie! Why didn't she ask if Downey was in the room? That is a basic fact-finding question. She sure was a "special" counsel of the "gallactically stupid." That's what jurisdiction in your face looks like.
It's an interesting subversion of a trope in this movie. We're set up in the beginning to think Galloway is the super competent advocate who will inspire the bumbling Kaffee to victory as we've seen in other movies. But as the movie goes along, her incompetence is slowly revealed more and more.
In her defence, it's not like she's unaware of this. She even admits to Kaffee that she's not a good lawyer. I think she just sees that Kaffee has the skills to do what she wants to but can't regarding Code Reds and is desperate not to let the opportunity slip by.
It’s kind of interesting how they took an atypical approach in resolving some of the major conflicts in this movie. The main characters still ended up partially losing their case, and Dawson and Downey still ended up getting dishonorably discharged, which was what they were mainly trying to avoid; Kaffee and Galloway’s romance didn’t end up going anywhere after this argument even though both are very attractive characters and they even went on a date; Galloway’s character actually kind of became weaker and more passive over the course of the film, and she never earned more respect from Kaffee or Weinberg past the first act.
Lots of subtle but effective touches: like when Galloway drops the coffee filter in defeat after Kaffee says "That was an important piece of information, don't you think?" And the way Sam takes the drink just to put out Kaffee's fire, as others have alluded to. Also at the end, when she walks out of the room, with slightly dewy eyes: she's gone from his commanding officer who had no respect for him to wanting to come up to his level as a lawyer and even being sweet on him. But of course, Cruise's hilarious tirade steals the show.
Hilarious? I thought she was delivering a brutal insult to Galloway. I thought that choice of "typewriting school for women" is specially scathing to a woman like Jo. She's a commander ffs. Aaron Sorkin is a monster writing.
@@tokyworld: I take your point, but I'M NOT GALLOWAY. So it's hilarious. That immortal character Jubal Harshaw put it best in Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land: All laughter is inevitably at the expense of someone else. (Find something that isn't.) And, again, whatever it is that makes you laugh--a joke, anything--we'll see if there isn't wrongness in there somewhere--and whether you would laugh if the wrongness wasn't there.
Maybe Sam was just thirsty
Totally!
Cruise should have won an Academy Award for his performance…… What an outstanding movie……….
Thinking the same here but he was against Anthony Hopkins, man.. He did an amazing performance in Silence of the Lambs.
Just a reminder how fruitful cinema was in those years
Silence Of The Lambs was the year before.
He would've been up against Pacino in Scent Of A Woman. No one was winning over him.
The years nominees were:
Al Pacino - Scent of A Woman - Winner
Robert Downey Jnr - Chaplin
Clint Eastwood - Unforgiven
Denzel Washington - Malcolm X
Stephen Rea - The Crying Game
When you have those actors and movies against you. Pretty hard to get a nod.
They got a few nominations including Jack Nicholson and a couple more.
That year they had Bram Stokers Dracula, Aladdin, Death Becomes Her, Lorenzo’s Oil, Basic Instinct, to name a few well know movies, against it too. So many great actors as well. Tom got lost in the mix.
Kevin Pollak is the secret weapon in this scene. God I love this movie and Aaron Sorkin is such a brilliant writer.
Plus he hates sam roberts. Win, win, win.
For sure. He's such an amazing supporting actor. Great in comedic roles like grumpy old men, great in casino, and phenomenal in this.
It was supposed to be Jason Alexander but he was to busy with Seinfeld..think Pollock did better..i couldnt take JA seriously.
@@kennyhill9238 I agree. Jason Alexander is even distracting in Jacob's Ladder for me. He's a great actor, but he's so iconic from Seinfeld that it severely obstructs him from playing dramatic roles. Pollak was the ace.
@@gilpinsteven Yea true..Shallow Hal, Dunston Checks in, Seinfeld I love me some JA too comic..but not for this role..Pollock was it.
Tom Cruise’s acting in some movies is just so underrated, especially in movies like these.
If he puts the work he is a great drama actor and he has proven it in the past. Unfortunately he is too focused on action flicks. Don’t get me wrong I love MI series snd TGM was absolutely epic but I would love to see him in more characters with depth.
This and last samurai.....Tom cruise vanishes and its just the character you see
Underrated is the most overused and misunderstood word in youtube comments. he has a net worth of over 600 million. he is anything but an underrated actor.
@@brians9508 just because an actor is a high earner in Hollywood doesn’t automatically make him/her a great actor. Case and point Dwayne Johnson, Chris Hemsworth, Vin Diezel (some time back), Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Stallone (back in the day) etc.
@@gpapa31 Cruise has 3 oscar nominations and 7 golden globe nominations
Tom is right, it’s not about the truth, it’s about what you can prove!
Like in law abiding citizen
That's very true. Danny got very lucky. Jessup was on a MASSIVE power trip and thought he was above the law, that's the only reason he got him to admit what he did. If Jessup was even a tad more humble, he would have just denied ordering the Code Red and Danny would be sunk.
@@CheerfullyCynical829 As they say in no limit poker, you play the player not the cards.
@@Helbinor It's too bad you can't condescendingly and sarcastically psych out your opponents in poker, the way Danny did Jessup. In a real tournament that would likely get you disqualified.........I think, I'm not a gambler.
The irony of a scientologist calling someone GALACTICALLY stupid...Lord Xenu would approve of that insult. 😂😂
Not just “stupid” but “galactically stupid”😂
Ahhh when acting was dead on believable....this is how lines are delivered...so natural, passionate, and sincere....fawk I miss that, but then again, it was the early 90s...we hadn't lost our humanity to tech yet.....
The way Cruise says, “yes… yes, he was…” about his father is pitch perfection acting. He doesn’t have the greatest range, but within his range, (integrity, passionate indignation etc, personified in Ethan Hunt) he’s pretty bloody untouchable 😳
Pulls a half a bottle of booze out of his pocket... "are you drunk?"
Been looking for this scene for awhile. "Would you put Jessup on the stand? Nope. You think my father would?"
She's gonna make coffee... Thats nice
handling the truth is nice
Sipping tea since I was in Huggies trainers
I really like this movie, because it really shows his personal growth, and justice being done. It's a compelling story, and the acting is very interesting.
I hadnt realize how hilarious Tom Cruise was in this scene!!!
Gut busting laughter is it.....
Lol I love the way he says at the exotic fort Leavenworth
The acting in this movie is next level. Nothing in recent years even comes close.
also because modern movies suck s
specially superhero movies that I cringe whenever they try to deliver a monologue it feels like dumb lines told by today's good or great actors. In this movie all lines serve a purpose and cuts like a knife. The writing is just stellar.
Like him or hate him, Cruise knows how to act the drunk.
him and denzel play the best drunks.. denzel in courage under fire, flight, man on fire
@@jameswilliams-zr8co Also Flight for Denzel
Then he drives drunk in the rain to pick up Galloway.
Of all the action movies Tom has done they don’t hold a candle to this movie. Tom Cruise was fantastic in this movie.
He was great in tropic thunder
This scene is one of many that shows Cruise's talent!
Naturally gifted toward anger? Hmm ya
The drama of Jessup’s cross is what most remember this movie for. for me, an equally compelling conversation was from 6:10 onwards, culminating in Sam telling Cruise that neither Lionel Kaffee nor Sam Weinberg is lead counsel for defense and asking Tom, “What would you do?”
As one of those "Lawyer Reviews" channels pointed out; its really easy for Demi Moore to tell Tom Cruise to subpoena Colonel Jessup. She wont be the one facing consequences when he accuses Jessup of issuing the order. If she wants to go after Jessup, she should do it herself.
Doesn’t lead counsel have to be the one to subpoena?
@@CustomizedUsername iirc, she's technically primary counsel for one of the defendants after going behind his back. As was REPEATEDLY hammered home in this movie, she's a TERRIBLE trial lawyer and should not have been followed here. 99 times out of 100, this gambit would fail and Cafee's career would be over.
@@gregsimoes8645 lol damn you’re right. I hadn’t watched this movie since the 90s. This kinda ruins the movie for me now 😂. Fine ass Demi Moore had plot armor though. Most movies get court proceedings wrong though. My Cousin Vinny was over the top but weirdly had the best trial depictions I’ve ever seen.
Questioning - even pointed questioning - of a senior officer in a court martial is not against the regulations. Kaffee might raise a few eyebrows from implying that Jessup ordered the Mountain Dew, the worst thing the court can do is label it speculation and have it stricken from the record.
@@katherineberger6329 ideally, sure. In the real world, reprisals for offenses (real or imagined) happen ALL the time. The whole case itself is about how Jessup handled someone that had a legitimate concern.
The talk between Danny and Sam at the end is the best part. Even when he's hammered drunk, he can still hear the message. Tom Cruise is incredible.
This is my favorite part of this movie. As powerful as the trial
I love how the movie ends with the title card The End I don't remember seeing that in a movie in years I loved it
Sam was a very underrated character in this movie
He balances out both parties how one hardly cares about military and one is in deep to the core
Worst part about that scene was that Kaffey apologized. He had nothing to apologize for (at least it stopped before the part where he did).
Why? He had seriously overstepped boundaries with a superior officer. Apologizing is the least he can do for his fellow officers.
@@cherylhulting1301 He wasn't apologizing out of deference to a superior officer..he was doing it because he hurt her feewings.
When Tom Cruise doesn't hide behind big budget CGI, he can really put on a great performance. In terms of just pure acting talent, I gotta put this movie to the top of Cruise's career. This scene still makes me laugh. I know it's supposed to be a serious, even scary image of a man losing himself in a drunken rage, but the way he delivers the lines here is funny as hell.
Tom Cruise channeling his inner Jim Carrey.
This was an absolutely great movie
Why didn’t Markinson state his complicity in the cover up in his suicide note? Dying declarations are admissible as evidence.
1. He did - albeit cryptically - when he wrote to the deceased’s parents: “your son is dead for one reason: because I wasn’t strong enough to stop it”
2. Dying declarations may be admissible in civilian trials, but this is a military General Court-Martial; rules and procedures in Courts-Martial are always slightly different, despite their superficial resemblance to a civilian criminal trial - thus, what may admissible in one may not be in the other
"He did! That's great!"
Such an amazing, and we'll done movie. Everyone's emotions and performances are allowed to shine, and each actor/actress more than delivers.
_we'll done_
Now where have I seen that before?
How Tom cruise didn’t win an academy award for this movie is crazy! He was brilliant!
Easily one of the best arguments in this movie lmao
Anybody else old enough to remember when Tom Cruise was still showing signs that he might become an actor one day?
Say what you want but the Rocco Clubo School for Women is top tier.
Hey. Typewriter maintenance is some high tech stuff .....bill gates is the Dean.
So is yo momma
3:17 My favorite part of this film, and damn it was hilariously dramatic from Tom Cruise!😮
My favorite Cruise's performance.
The "im sorry I lost your set of steak knives" proves that women never forget.
I wish Tom Cruise made more movies like this today. He’s a superb actor.
That is one hell of a scene!
- Are you drunk?
- Pretty much
- I'll put on a pot of coffee we've got a long nights work ahead
- She gonna make some coffee.... thats nice ; )
Damn, I've never seen anyone that angry over a lost set of steak knives
He actually foreshadows the opposing argument during the colonel interview at the end
We should take a minute to recognize the comedic value of "typewriter maintenance."
Tom is an Oscar level actor as much as he is an action figure today.For some reason the Academy has never sought to reward him .Just the performance in Born on the 4th of July was worth at least 2 Oscars for Tom .It’s unbelievable that the most commercially successful actor in motion picture history has yet to step up to the lectern at the Oscars.If it ever happens it will be historical.On the level of Chaplin receiving his hommage🙏
One of the best plays ever written … still haunts my every action ☀️
While this is inaccurate inaccurate description of law and military, it is still hands down one of my favorite movies ever. But you cannot be court marshaled for asking a question to and to a general, decorated soldier or not.. They are not Exempt from the law of being cross examined
This is true. You can pretty much ask any question at a Courts Martial. Simply asking a witness if they did something isn't the same as accusing them of doing it.
I understand why they presented it this way for the movie, though: there needed to be some stakes to asking the most important question of the trial. There needed to be tension beyond simply trying to get a truthful answer.
@@Josh-99 I know it's all in the name of Hollywood but it's just a little annoying whenever playing whenever they do that L do that lol it doesn't take away from how powerful it is..
Joanne keeps making Danny risk his entire career. Not once does she ever put herself in harm's way. It's always so much easier when it's someone else's career and life. She fills every stereotype about being completely incapable of taking responsibility and accepting the consequences of her actions.
The view is good from the cheap seats
It’s part of many women’s nature.
Lol tell me you've never seen this movie without telling me you've never seen this movie.
The very first scene we see her in is her sticking her neck out to get the case moved to Washington and asking to be assigned as lead council.
She goes pretty far outside of the normal scope of her job to make sure the case gets the attention it deserves, and its clear from the beginning that the higher-ups would prefer to have the case taken care of quietly if possible.
Her risk may not be as big or as explicit as Danny's, but she's definitely gambling with the trajectory of her career from the moment she steps on screen.
I was halfway kidding with my first statement btw, but seriously if you've never seen it or if it's been a long time it's definitely worth the watch.
@@georgemartinez932 And she did warn Danny to back off if he felt Jessup wasn't going to give himself away. She didn't have to do that, but she did.
What stereotype is that? Women constantly get blamed for things that aren't even their fault.
And Jo's right. She's calling on Kaffee to be the lawyer she knows he can be; he's the one who wants to back down and won't listen to her ideas for re-strategizing. She knows she's made a mistake here (and frankly one that's not very believable, which is a hole in Sorkin's writing) but she's thinking through the next steps. You're also discounting the many steps she takes to even move the case forward, none of which are going to help her career much either.
You should have seen yourself thunder away at Kendrick. Incredible line
The acting from everyone is amazing
Seen this movie a lot of time, love it
Weird to see Tom Cruise turn into Jim Carrey at 3:47
Maybe you should drink a little... 😂😂😂 makes me laugh everytime!!!
Tom should have beat Al Pacino that year for Scent of a Woman, great actor and movie, but Tom’s performance was nothing short of brilliant.
OMG, hey I mean, that's acting!👏
Demi Moore was wearing such an early 90's outfit. Really takes me back.
At such a serious scene and after Tom loses his temper and Demi leaves, i was like whoa that was crazy. Then i see Kevin walk up to Tom like his going to talk to him, stands there for a second and starts picking up the stuff and i just started laughing my ass off.
Great scene by everyone.... Still on point after all these years...not bad for a Broadway play.
Tom does not seem to get his due as an actor. This was a fantastic performance. Arguably should have got an Oscar for this.
Who doesn't think Tom is a good actor? I'm not really a mo ir person, but even with the scientology stuff everyone respects Tom as an actor.
@@boybrushedred18 right this William guy is a muppet
@@tooreal4softassyoutube Nah, Cruise was getting HEAVILY disrespected just a few years back.... People, for some weird reason, forgot the fact that he was a brilliant actor but his affiliation with Scientology clouded many people's judgement of his acting prowess and they couldn't overcome his bias until few years back. NOW, I can say people recognize the fact that he is a brilliant actor.
Agreed 💪🏾
What a great scene!!
I love Tom Cruise 💜💜💜💜💜 He is so handsome 😍😍😍😍😍
Amen
My favorite scene in the movie.
Great scene and top movie!
I’ve never had a meltdown like that. But sometimes I wish I had!
I like Tom cruise when he’s acting crazy, like this movie.
Tom Cruise channeling Jim Carey. It doesn't get any more 90s than that.
"Typewriter maintenance" 🤣
Wow, Tom Cruise can do a solid Jim Carrey impression.
LOL I was thinking the exact same thing. Jim Carrey could have done this role.
Here's the comment I was looking for! The game show buzzer is straight Jim Carrey.
@@jaypoole8056 theres no way of getting around this, neither Carrey nor his father is in the lead role for A Few Good Men, opposite Jack Nicholson. So, the question is, what would Cruise do?
3:50-4:15
25 seconds
That's the length of a phone 🤳 4 rings before it goes to voicemail.
I took this clip & made it my ringtone.
You can tell how long the phone has been ringing by this method.
0-25 speech 💬
"I'm sorry I lost your set of steak knives."
In other words... "This isn't about you, jackass."
Apparently the central plot point that Caffey would be court martialed for accusing Jessup like this was 100% made up by Aaron Sorkin but goddamnit does it make for an incredible legal drama!
Great scene..
I watched it last night. I want to watch again someday.
Such a good movie!
great scene
Les Grossman when he still had some hair on top....
Tom Cruise is seriously underrated! How he didn't win a Oscar for this movie is beyond me...
Because all he did was weaken a country. That's all he did. He put lives in danger.
This is like a dark and macabre version of Jim Carrey
Great flic.
An awesome rant.
This movie is remembered for the "you can't handle the truth" scene, but it is this scene (though based on a false premise) that pretty much made the movie, in my view. The acting was suburb. It was the turning point in the plot and for the actors. The false premise is the whole "can't accuse a decorated whatever without proof" nonsense. That's BS. I've confirmed that with several then current and former JAG officers. I hate when movies go to extremes to do things like this. In an earlier scene, Demi suggested going after the doctor about his inconsistent findings on the victim -- he didn't know the cause and then he did know an hour or two later after talking to Jack Nicholson's character. Cruse said, "we don't have proof so we can't do it" or something like that. That's BS. Any good lawyer would have asked that question or better yet made an entire sequence of questions about that. Testimony IS proof and half of all testimony is cross examination. So the whole can't accuse without proof means anyone can lie as long as there is no physical evidence out there contradicting the lie, and they can't be called on it. No jurisdiction that I know of has a rule of evidence like that.
The bit about "should we or should we not follow the advice of the galactically stupid" also gets memed and quoted a lot too. Angry freaked out Cruise is the best Cruise.
That's an interesting point. I always took it as Jessup was so powerful with so many powerful friends - I think the movie said he was on the short list for chairman of the joint chiefs - that to piss him off was career suicide. He would bring hell down upon you.
Honestly, I've felt that way on multiple occasions.
