CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Lt. Kaffee (Tom Cruise) learns a lesson from Col. Jessep (Jack Nicholson).
FILM DESCRIPTION:
In this military courtroom drama based on the play by Aaron Sorkin, Navy lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) is assigned to defend two Marines, Pfc. Louden Downey (James Marshall) and Lance Cpl. Harold Dawson (Wolfgang Bodison), who are accused of the murder of fellow leatherneck Pfc. William Santiago (Michael de Lorenzo) at the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Kaffee generally plea bargains for his clients rather than bring them to trial, which is probably why he was assigned this potentially embarassing case, but when Lt. Commander JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore) is assigned to assist Kaffee, she is convinced that there's more to the matter than they've been led to believe and convinces her colleague that the case should go to court. Under questioning, Downey and Dawson reveal that Santiago died in the midst of a hazing ritual known as "Code Red" after he threatened to inform higher authorities that Dawson opened fire on a Cuban watchtower. They also state that the "Code Red" was performed under the orders of Lt. Jonathan Kendrick (Kiefer Sutherland). Kendrick's superior, tough-as-nails Col. Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson), denies any knowledge of the order to torture Santiago, but when Lt. Col. Matthew Markinson (J.T. Walsh) confides to Kaffee that Jessup demanded the "Code Red" for violating his order of silence, Kaffee and Galloway have to find a way to prove this in court. A Few Good Men also features Kevin Bacon as prosecuting attorney Capt. Jack Ross and Kevin Pollak as Kaffee and Galloway's research assistant, Lt. Sam Weinberg.

"You ever serve in an infantry unit, son?"
"No sir, I was an aviator. Flew Tomcats on the Enterprise."
"I was also a secret agent and a samurai, made cocktails and did Nascar racing"

Kaffee is masterful here; he constantly pushes colonel to speak briefly and then cuts him off, pushes then cuts him off, repeatedly, hurting colonel's pride. All to make his blood boil, lose nerves.
Which would be inappropriate in a real court.
In a murder trial court martial. This would get him probably disbarred from the service.
This movie is a drama and has no basis in real proceedings.
I love the dig that cruise does with the "I can have the court recorder read it back to you"
and his interruptions while Jessup tries to answer
"Cruise does"?
You do realise it's a film script ? Cruise is saying lines in a film script. It's called "acting".
I admit he's very good, but it really is just acting.
Despite all his arrogant posturing and bluster, the colonel was perfectly willing to let two enlisted men take the rap for his crime.
Happenes all the time in the Military
Rules of engagement will bend for some. Not for others. It's how this thing goes.
Because the colonel is a posturing lying hypocrite.
Timothy Sullivan idiot.
@DLeCo tell that to the dozen or so Iraq vets in Leavenworth.
I just love the build up. All the way up to 'I could have the court reporter read back to you'....
I think that smug face at 1:05 when he says "crystal" was the beginning of what caused Nicholson's outburst 😂
Now I know where “The Parent Trap” got its dialogue between Annie (as Hallie) and Meredith:
Meredith: Is that clear?
Annie (as Hallie): Crystal.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like the strategy here. He's not even saying that the idea that Santiago was being transferred was a lie, he's just poking holes in the whole cover up story. Then Nicholson's character just remains practically speechless when he finally realizes his mistake
This has to be Tom's greatest performance and best looking year not to mention. Demi Mooee was also simply gorgeous in this movie.
This movie has some of the most gorgeous human beings that walked upon planet lmao
One of the most powerful and best ever performance by any actor...Jack Nicholson is a legend.
One flew over the cuckoo's nest man!!!
What does he Say when Cruise interrupts him asking: Why the two orders? (1:53)
Tom Cruise looks like a rank amateur vis a vis Jack Nicholson.
1:50-1:53 I know what I said! I don't have it read back to me like I'm...
Love that line from Nicholson.
One of the best films of all time.
facts
Clint Eastwood scares me. Jack Nicholson scares me more. He's awesome.
Woody Allen is the scariest!
@@adonisguy3243 at least he's good husband and dad!
You should see Nicholson as the joker he funny and terrifying
@@adonisguy3243 No one is as scary as Michael Shannon
What about Ozzie Osborne he scares the dead😆
"We follow orders, or, people die: It's that simple...".
That comment, right there helped sink Jack Nicholson's testimony & played a key part of Tom Cruise's examination, in my opinion.
Tom's thinking OH YEAH I GOT YOU NOW GET MAD YEAH
Col. Jessup! Did you order the code red?!
YOU"RE GODDAM RIGHT I DID!
K. CHAN but...
Just confessed to Manslaughter in open court.
As a former actor I can't believe how good Nicholson is here. I don't know how he does it...I don't know whether to cry or tear my hair out. He's a goddamn genius.
Daniel Day Lewis vs Jack N for all time best actors ?
Lewis certainly conveys a vile, wretched, nasty, sob better than just about anyone. "And if I but had the guns I would shoot everyone of them before they set foot on American soil. "Your an afterbirth Eli, slithered from your mother's filth."
When you think about it, he's exactly right: He disobeyed his own orders, and a Marine died because of it.
Galloway (Demi Moore): This past February you received a cautionary memo from the Commander-in-Chief of the Atlantic Fleet, warning that the practice of enlisted men disciplining their own wasn’t to be condoned by officers.
Jessep (Jack Nicholson): Well, I submit to you that whoever wrote that memo has never faced the working end of a Soviet-made Cuban AK-47 assault rifle.
that's absolutely correct.a 4 star admiral gave him a direct order that enlisted personel were not to discipline their own,he outright disobeyed that order,and someone died.
This is all Hollywood BS and another attempt to belittle the military that without them you and Hollywood and me would all be DEAD! My brother and my daughter were marines and this is silly!
@@ronniebishop2496 Exactly what is the bs? Nobody wanted to people to die. Not those two marines and certainly not the colonel. So code red was not the issue here. The issue was that a commanding officer sold out his soldiers when things get tough. I can't image that this kind of things had never happened in any military. High ranking officers are more like politicians. If anything, this movie showed the military justice system works, that its soldiers are well trained, yet not without compassion. A few bad officers do not change that. Notice even though Kendrick tried to show off as a tough military guy, Markinson called him a weasel.
W Gemini Yeah, is that right? First of all this whole thing would have never happened in the first place and a Col in the marines is s very high rank and the treatment of Santiago would have never even come across his desk and it would have been handled by NCOs. He would have never given that order because he would have never had to. That’s why it’s ridiculous.
"Santiago was a substandard Marine"
This line alone proves Jessup was a lousy Colonel. Nobody gets natural born soldiers to be commanded. Your job is to train them into ones!
They did train him, but not everyone is born to be a marine, just like with any other job.
It's implied Santiago had a heart condition. No amount of training can fix that.
@@michaelweiske702
Then he should have been discharged for medical reasons, no?
@@Aivottaja Yes, but the doctor who checked him didn't notice it, and if it came to light that he didn't notice it, his career as a military medical physician would be over. That's partly why he insisted that Santiago was poisoned.
@@michaelweiske702
Then the bottom line is: Santiago may have been beyond training, but the reason he's dead instead of discharged is that two people above him were interested in preserving their careers.
And the point stands: Santiago wasn't a substandard Marine. He was just medically unfit for duty. He didn't know about his own condition and nothing suggests he didn't give the training all he could.
“”We follow orders or people die”. Apparently, he really meant: “We follow orders AND people die”. ;)
That seems like a pretty crucial conjunction.
Colonel Jessup meant: "We follow orders or people die UNNECESSARY". Sure, Marines die in combat, due to enemy fire. When not following orders Marines die in greater numbers.
1:31 It is at this moment that Jessup knew...he ****ed up. =)
Yeah, that shot is brilliant acting by Nicholson!
Amazing voice tremble
@Tony Ross You can try but ultimately any attempt to dig yourself out of it is only going to get you deeper in. Absolutely brilliantly acted by Nicholson,, esp the "I don't have to have it read back to me like I'm.." line, he's on the ropes and going down.
Ever been in a cockpit of an airplane?' … 'No, sir'... 'Ever seen a grown man naked? … 'No, sir.' 'Ever been in a Turkish Prison?' … 'No, sir'... ''Ever hang around the Gymnasium?' … 'No, sir.' … '
LOL!
Lmfao
"Do you like to watch Gladiator movies?"
@@chrisconkright9259 No sir
Priceless!
Great scene, great film, great acting!Happy Birthday, Tom Cruise!
Absolutely brilliant. This is a demonstration of hubris. Jessup's own excessive and mislead sense of pride to his code as a marine became his undoing.
Ironheart73 Jessup was right. That's the bigger problem
Terry Gibbs Jessup was wrong,plain and simple. We're not barbarians.
Al As 57 Maybe we are.
@@alalalala57 it’s not about being barbarians, it’s about standards. Santiago didn’t want to uphold the standards of being a Marine, putting the lives of his fellow servicemen in danger. I’m not saying he deserved to die, but Jessup wasn’t wrong for disciplining. He had no way of knowing Santiago would die from a Code Red. Even the doctors said he had an undiagnosed condition that caused it.
My god...Nicholson is so fucking epic. I miss him! How did the Academy not give him an oscar for this epic performance? Mafia!
He was up against Al Pacino ("Glengarry Glen Ross"), Gene Hackman ("Unforgiven"), and a couple of others. Hackman won, and it wasn't undeserved. One of those years with great acting.
Hollywood hates the military.
@@michaelglass8229 i believe he was up against Al Pacino, "Scent of a Woman".
1:01 and the trap shuts on Jessup. That was all Kaffee needed to hear.
Exactly. He knew that he must have ordered the code red, or at the very least Kendrick had betrayed the high command order. He'll Jessup could leave his Rolex in the Mess Hall and come back a week later to find it untouched.
Nicholson is simply brilliant.
Jack Nicholson IS a marine colonel in this clip. He is living his role.
If you are a marine, you must follow LAWFUL orders.
sleshstamp it's Guantanamo bay, no rules apply
@@victorespino5650 That's horse puckey! As least for Marines, there are certainly rules that apply to all service personnel! The only people whom might go rogue are the ones who deal with Gitmo detainees. And, depending on the severity would lead to disciplinary action.
Though you can't expect your average marine to know the law well enough to assess within seconds whether or not an order is lawful. So for that reason orders are to be executed. Whoever gives the order on the other hand has both the means and the time to assess its lawfulness and can therefore be held accountable for it and the ensuing action
@Scott Johnston ,
It's lawful because no one ceased GWB!
"Lawful" can be a double edged sword. Sometimes perfectly Lawful orders can still be evil.
I loved it when Nicholson called Cruise "Son".
'Virtually laughed my head off!
Favorite movie! Fantastic!
If this movie is ever redone, the actors HAVE to be as excellent as these two!
This movie should never be redone! I don't think anyone could come up with something as perfect as the original one.
Nobody can replace Jack Nicholson ever.
This is some clever writing. What a script!
The Colonel didn't follow orders, and people died.
caffey baited him into that
You can bait but ultimately you need to do it smartly,, know what buttons to press and how to set the trap. If this was real life you'd say the colonel was proper dumb for even putting himself up on the stand to be shot at,, never put yourself in harms way if there's nothing to gain from it.
@@therebel4332 the Colonel was proper dumb for even putting himself on the stand? This was a murder trial. The Colonel didn't have a choice.
@@therebel4332 in real life, when he was asked if Kendrick understood the order he would have most likely said I can’t speak to what he was thinking all I know is I gave the order. He can’t say what another man was thinking and the prosecutor would have objected in real life. He was asking leaded questions and asking about hearsay and going the corneal could not possible know it was all speculation.
I love how he pushes back. Doesn't budge an inch.
I had a C.O. just like the one Jack Nicholson played.
Col. A. T. Marshall, USMC. Toughest, meanest, deadliest Marine I've had the pleasure of serving under. Rest easy, Devil Dog!!!
Just like Nicholson? So he was a self-serving, honorless hypocrite? And you NAMED him?!? Think of the man's poor family!!
I use this in the office all the time.
The acting here is 2nd to none. I’m glued.
Some people miss the point of all this.
We(at least most of us) are not really debating whether Jessup should or should not have ordered the "Code Red". It was his unit, he chose the best way to discipline it. He is right when he say that most of us don't really care how this is done, as long as it's done. ( I'd argue that, in this case, we're talking about USA, which has never been in an actual danger of being invaded by anyone, while they have invaded plenty, but I digress. Let's pretend we're talking about a country whose army is mainly there to defend its soil).
What's dishonorable about him is that, when he *did* gave the order and things went south, he didn't stand up and said "Yeah, I gave the order, those men were simply following my commands". He instead setup an elaborate conspiracy explicitly in order to throw those 2 privates under the bus and save his skin.
He probably knew very well that was dishonorable of him, but I guess in his own mind he's "too important" for the country, while those 2 privates' fate, while sad, isn't such a big loss - an acceptable sacrifice if it means the country will not be made "weaker" by losing *him*. Of course, this is acting based on pure political expedience, not on some immutable "code of honor".
(Oh, and yeah, I have served in a forward area, though it was artillery unit, not infantry. Of course it was the mandatory year every male in my country must serve, and I probably would have avoided it if was not mandatory...just saying).
My old man was 2 tour Vietnam combat vet. He said slackers, dopers, screw ups where dealt with harshly in combat units, some got themselves killed , some got others killed. Imagine the resentment by your platoon if you F ed up and got a good man killed. They didn't last long because Uncle Sam don't do autopsies in a combat zone to see what bullet killed you.
@Salnsd Slackers in the military are dealt with harshly, approved of or not.
@Salnsd Soldiers in the field have a code, that code is their bond. Unless you been there and done that you can't understand it.
@Salnsd Its the plot of the movie.
Well yeah, it was mentioned by Capt. Ross that Jessup's star (brigadier general) was on the rise. He wasn't about to have that plan foiled by this snafu.
"Why was Santiago in Danger. That moment just reminded me of the Star Trek movie...
"Excuse me; why does _GOD_ need a Starship". You could see all the internal gears start grinding.
God doesn't need a Starship...man needs a Starship to act like God.
Jim Kirk was already suspicious from the moment "God" asked how they breached the barrier. The fact that "God" kept questioning them, suggesting a lack of omniscience, made Jim suspect that they were being deceived. He was usually very good at detecting tricks and traps.
One of my all time favorite movies!!
Lieutenant Kaffee knew how to push the Colonel's buttons.
People often focus on that showy truth handling line, but Kaffee catching Jessup in a lie about “taking matters into their own hands” is the REAL big moment in this showdown.
Because that’s what good lawyers/detectives do; turn your own words against you to reveal the truth of a situation.
If Jessup had said, "I felt that Santiago wasn't a good fit for the Cuban base", he wouldn't have fallen into Kaffee's trap.
Tremendous acting!
Tom Cruise is now older than Jack Nicholson was in this scene.
Good trivia
Was his last wife born when this scene was shot? Is there a copy of Dianetics on the Defense table?
That's why you shut up, say the least, and plead the fifth whenever possible. Don't incriminate yourself, you don't have to prove your innocent. They have to prove your guilt!
An acting masterpiece👍
true
Indeed, my good man.
At 1:29-1:31, that is acting, not a word is said, Nicholson's expression barely changes, but there's a flicker, as he realises he's been outplayed.
Col.: "We follow the orders or people die"
Me to Col: "I didn't ask who gave the order! Because it had nothing to do with the business we have chosen!!!"

perseverance pays off
Tom cruise is underrated actor
Born On The 4th Of July 👌🏻
My favorite Marine is Col. Jessup, followed by Gunney Sgt. Hartman of Full Metal Jacket, then Private Duke Slater of Gomer Pyle, USMC.
lol
I have to disagree. Jessup was a crook, pure and simple. Hartman was brilliant.. I confess I never really followed Gomer Pyle, but I'll take your word on it.
The best Marine in this picture was Jack Ross: "Don't you dare lump me in with Jessup and Kendrick just because we wear the same uniform. I'm your friend and I'm telling you, I don't think your clients belong in jail but I don't get to make that decision!"
Duke became a Corporal...
I remember when I was a kid at the doctors office waiting for my mom watching unsolved mysteries or fact or fiction something like that, but it had something to with this movie.
SUPERB FILM !!!
Thank you for your serviçe.
Great cut off point Movieclips
I gotta get this on DVD!
That, my friends, is a Catch 22.
Tom cruise is very underrated..
If Santiago *was* in danger and was consequently hurt or killed, the ultimate responsibility lay with the CO, Colonel Jessep, anyway, whether he gave a pertinent order or not.
If he truly *was not* in danger, he would not have been injured or killed and none of it would have happened.
That was Jessep's dilemma: He was trying to avoid ALL responsibility, and that wasn't possible. In reality, a commanding officer under whose command a marine dies violently is all but certain to get the boot.
We love Jack. Greatest actor of all Time
Suat 36
Hahaha funny De Niro and Brando are better. By far
My favorite movie of all time ❤️❤️❤️
Classic, love it!
"are we clear?"=Scientology.
+dondonatto We're not clear, need more $$$$$$ plz.
OT
TOM CRUISE = LEGEND
you = LOSER
I think that too. Crystal.
0:52 Someone died so the order was not followed, correct?
Oh boy! This is a movie
2:02 I believe that's what you call a checkmate.
Tom cruise sounds like Mark Tompson reading a Star Wars Audiobook.
His voice sounds so similar in this movie .
Its a TRAP!!!!
He didn't see that coming

It was the two airmen who undone the Colonel
Best scene in this movie
till we meet again...

The setting of a military trial is perfect for this kind of thing.
1:04 "I got him."
Really should have put six and seven into one clip.
You said "We follow orders or people die", I would have said 'AND ISN'T THAT WHY WE'RE HERE?
yeah he gave too much on that statement should have worded it better
YOU CANNOT HANDLE THE TRUTH! Where does he say it
You ever served in an infantry unit son?
