In 1992, I was a US Army "Basic Training" graduate and senior in High School when the great movie "A Few Good Men" came out. This movie motivated me to complete HARD AIT, Senior ROTC Basic Camp, and Advanced Officer Camp. THOSE WERE THE BEST DECISIONS I EVER MADE. I can now see that these movies drove me toward those goals. To become a US Military Officer, you must EARN that SALUTE every day!!! I was so proud when I watched this 1990s movie and realized that the years between 1975-1996 were some of the best military movies that made me finally become a 2nd Lieutenant in 1995 at Army ROTC Georgia Military College!!! After 20+ years of war, I am still shocked at the power of these old movies on this new generation of future leaders!! DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY, AND CHARACTER, ABOVE ALL! HONOR, COURAGE, COMMITMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HONOR, CODE, LOYALTY!!!!!!!!!!! PICK UP A WEAPON, AND STAND TO POST!!! Even as a Christian and Pastor, I still thank God that as a 17-year-old, this movie, as did Glory, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, and now our newer Afghan/Iraq war movies, still make me so proud.

I love how Kaffee laid out his subtle trap for Jessup. Especially how he posed the question of why Santiago never called anyone, or packed anything when he was supposedly going to go home for good. He even piqued the judge's curiosity on the issue. That was where Jessup's story began to unravel and his arrogance did the rest from there. Basically, he played right into Kaffee's hands. Brilliant.

@ccdogpark Жыл бұрын

Yeah not being packed would probably be easy for the perp to overlook. And it was clever the way they had Lt Kaffee notice this. The whole cause and effect was so believable that it made the final climax even more enjoyable. That small portion of the movie tied the whole thing together.

As a Woman Marine, I consider this movie as one of the best movies and Jack Nicholson as Colonel Jessup nailed it! I met Michael DeLorenzo on one of my flights when we were still Continental Airlines, Houston to Los Angeles. I didn’t recognize him at that time while he was waiting for us (flight attendants) to get to the plane. I walked by him and he gave me a sexy smile and said “Hi”. I told him that I knew him, but couldn’t think of where we met. He just smiled. I couldn’t believe that I didn’t recognize him when NY Undercover was one of my favorite shows. It hit me when we were boarding. I felt so dumb and star struck. The other girls called me up because Michael wanted to talk to me. I was hiding in the back mortified. I went to talk to him and apologized and told him what a fan I was. What a nice man, forgave me and asked me to visit him if I was ever in L.A. Alas, I never did. Darn it!!!

If there was a prequel made to Collateral as Tom playing Vincent again to tell his back story, I bet the movie would've been a hit. It's because of his performance as a terrifying villain that Jamie Foxx got the award nomination that year for Collateral. Tom was simply terrifying as Vincent in that role, just like Heath Ledger as Joker and Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh. It's his best acting performance till date, followed by his performances in Rainman , Magnolia, Tropic Thunder, A Few Good Men, The Last Samurai, Born on the Fourth of July etc. Tom Cruise exults his acting brilliance in negative characters. Collateral is his best acting followed by Rainman.

The director should have held on a POV shot as though the audience was looking directly at Kaffee from the witness stand. That for an unbroken 30 seconds would have put the scene over the top. In that 30 seconds, the entire film reaches its purpose -- to motivate a brilliant lawyer to showdown instead of selling out to fear or criminal intimidation. The Jessup blowup was a necessary element in the story, but the blowup is the finale. The 30-second moment is the climax.

I will never give a thumbs down....but the statement 'Cruise' - I quote - "played" a great actor....should be 'tried to play' .... I have seen almost all of his movies....some of them hundreds of times....and the only thing that people like is his - even not natural - attitude to a camera....to me it is kind of funny to see him 'making efforts' to be 'real' but even this is an impossible , 'forced' attitude....always. Compare Al Pacino, Clint , Brando, ...hundreds more...these guys are 'real' ....no 'play'.....

Did anyone notice Kaffees' arm shaking when getting water before he tears into Jessup, it's these little tid bits that sets this court room drama higher than the rest. I did not see this movie in the theater, but, I have seen the watered down version so many times, and a dear friend bought me the un-edited version as a gift. Thank you, Kim!!!! It is a very good movie, had I saw it in the movie theater, I would give it three and a half stars(out of four), and that ain't bad.

The character arc that Lt. Kaffee is going through in this court drama is nothing short of perfection. He starts off as a juvenile and brilliant yet lackluster and lazy attorney who is not taking any chances by aiming for quick but subpar deals for his defendants. But over the course of the investigation and confrontation with pure injustice - constantly pushed by the excellent portrayal of Cmdr Galloway to pull through - he shakes off the intimidation, the belittlement and threat to his own career and finally overcomes his fear of calling out a powerful adversary.

I agree 100% with the gist I just H8 you're using "Lazy". He was too successful for me to deem it "Lazy". And though Galloway plays a significant role in his "transformation"(?) my family and I give more credit to Dawson (especially) and Downey. But that's what makes the movie epic, so many intertwining factors.

The Captain's objections gave Colonel Jessup time to formulate a strong response to Kaffee's questions, which were actually good points. Jessup's response was actually very brilliant here, it basically reminded the court that while Santiago not packing anything or calling anyone was somewhat odd, it didn't really prove anything and he gave a feasible explanation for it. It was enough to have Kaffee reeling for a few moments. The fact that he was genuinely reeling for a short time just makes it all the more impressive he recovered to nail the Colonel a few minutes later. This was the football equivalent of having a 4th and 18 and then throwing a hailmary TD a few minutes later. Making the disrespectful comment to the judge didn't help Jessup's cause either, made the judge far more receptive to Kaffee's line of questioning.

I've probably watched this scene at least 10 times over the years. Still engrosses me and raises my pulse. Only one minor complaint that makes it harder to suspend disbelief... all the whispering, mostly by Lt. Caffee. You can't whisper in a courtroom. I'm pretty sure the court stenographer and judge and probably several other people have to hear every word that is being said. Other than that, a total classic.

The beauty of this movie is that it was the ego differentials between Jessup and Caffey that ultimately forced the truth out into the open. Something totally unconventional and outside of the pristine and formal maneuvers of the legal milieu became the cornerstone upon which the whole house of Jessup's cards fell.

Underrated Top Tier Actor. Tom truly Masters each role/character in every movie which ranges in a multitude of cinematic genres. From his demeanor & poise to stay in character to performing his own life risking stunts, he truly wants to give the viewers/audience his ALL and he always delivers for the true essence of what film making is which is the expression of art through acting and storytelling so the viewers/audiences can be entertained for a short moment of time. I truly have him ahead of Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Matt Damon, Keanu Reeves, Edward Norton, and even Jared Leto. (Who are all great actors and have their own accolades) but Tom Cruise just captivates his roles in a more dexterous and compelling way. I only wish he would’ve starred in more movies with Hollywood’s Top tiers of directors such as Martin Scorsese, Quentin Terintino, James Cameron, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and Christopher Nolan. But regardless, his movie catalog list is still great.
