- My dears, allow me to describe a scene where what begins as a rather polite discussion takes a sharp turn towards discomfort. In this encounter, Lt. Kaffee (Tom Cruise) and Lt. Commander Galloway (Demi Moore) pose some tough questions to Colonel Jessup (Jack Nicholson).
📩 / @movingpicsofficial
🎬A Few Good Men (1992): Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) is a military lawyer defending two U.S. Marines charged with killing a fellow Marine at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba. Although Kaffee is known for seeking plea bargains, a fellow lawyer, Lt. Cdr. JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore), convinces him that the accused marines were most likely carrying out an order from a commanding officer. Kaffee takes a risk by calling Col. Nathan R. Jessep (Jack Nicholson) to the stand in an effort to uncover the conspiracy.

My dears, have you seen the amazing acting performance of Jack Nicholson in the scene 'You can't handle the truth!' from 'A Few Good Men'? Watch it here:" ua-cam.com/video/sSldC4l5ncw/v-deo.html
You're the luckiest man in the world
Roll the dice take your chances
why do you do this, if these clips can't be monetized? or am i missing something?
yes I have thank you love this film own it on dvd big fan of Jack Nicholson he steals all the scenes he is in. it was amazing
This based on actual events...look it up
Jack Nicholson does such a great job in this scene of being completely menacing…I mean, like, _really_ dangerous…without ever once raising his voice, or changing his expression, or even moving his body once. Such great acting.
I wonder if the character, would have in an epilogue, sitting in a cell, some day figured out that the moment the lead defense attorney decided he was guilty of manslaughter was the moment he over played his dominance routine. It leads directly to his downfall.
would have liked to see him to a dark joker rather than a campy one
@@billsmith5109 I work in the criminal justice world…yes, that’s the exact point he showed his hand. Innocent people never act like this. He may as well have pointed directly to the evidence at this point…
Yes
I have thought, if he was old enough at the time, and if Yul Brynner hadn't been available, Jack N. would have been great as the Pharoah in The Ten Commandments, had he displayed the same tone as in this scene and others in AFGM.
the calmer jack nicholson speaks, the faster you should run.
Meh, he says “assault rifle”, so he just reads what the “script” says, not very scary. It would be scary to walk in the writers room and tell them to stop writing dumb things like “assault rifle” lol
Or the more he scrunches his face and his scowl sharpens.
lol....true
GOOD POINT ......... WHEN HE SLOWS IT DOWN N REALLY STARTS ENUNCIATING ..........
GET THE FUCK OUT.
You make him sound like Chuck Norris. In reality, all he did in this scene was come across as somethey they should DEFIINITELY investigate.
This is acting at the highest level ! Superb performance. All actors were good but Jack Nicholson was supreme!
Love how his ears pull back when he says You gotta ask me nicely. 😮
Like a dog getting aggressive.
@@danielwoods3563not just any dog. Those black guard dogs in every villain movie
Just like how a King Cobra's hood expands when its pissed off and gettin' aggressive.
Nobody can play the role of an absolute egomaniac like Jack Nicholson!!!! 😄
agreed big fan of Jack Nicholson hes so good at it this is a great film
Si qd même : Brando
Only one name that comes to mind.... Gary Oldman can 😊
Menacing performances like these motivate people to get into acting/directing/writing!! The way the lines were delivered, they just hit you and make the viewers shudder! Jacky is one of my all-time favs!
this is the scene when Kafee realises Jessop ordered the code red
Yup! At least, it pointed him in the right direction.
The exact moment Walt became Hesenberg.
Bien vu, TRES TRES bien Vu
Yep. Clever play.
He did? That's great.. and I suppose you have proof of this!
Oh that right, I forgot - you were sick the day they taught law at law school!
"Take caution in your tone commander. I am a fair man but this heat is fucking driving me crazy." I love this line by Jack Nicholson. His performance in this movie is unparalleled.
The man is only on three scenes and he totally dominates the movie
4 actually. One where he discusses PFC Santiago with the LT and XO, one where he receives the legal defence team, this scene and the courtroom scene.
Very true...
That’s not a surprise because he’s one of the best actors ever.
The acting in this movie is soooo frigging good.
Col. Jessup, pretty please with sugar on top, I need a copy of the f@$ing transfer order

Sounds more like something the girl would say.. damn she looked good back in the day

Please come back Jack, your talent is greatly missed!
He's almost dead. He's 86.
Come back? He cant even get off a chair anymore. Looks 100’pds overweight

@@dkelly26666 I heard that rumor but not sure if it's true.
how dare you say that there's actors even older than him that are still alive show some respect @@Twister1980
Jack scared me so much I asked for a transfer out of my bedroom.
Deserves more likes
I needed to transfer out of my underwear
Have you done it nicely?
😅🤣😂
There's a subtle element of Jessup's character in this film, that is somewhat more mild in the original play, due to the different time period. In the play, the events take place at the height of the cold war, 1989. By contrast, the film takes place in the year it was released, 1992, after the fall of the soviet union. (a lot happened in those three years)
Jessup makes a big deal about the Cuban fighters being very close by, and waiting to kill him constantly. The thing is, even in 1989, but especially in 1992, those fighters cannot risk hostilities with the US. There is essentially no chance they would ever try to kill him. Jessup is acting like a badass under constant threat, but it's just Ego. In reality, Jessup has a cushy tropical position, where he is under little danger.
Thank you for this!
So many people misinterpret Jessup’s character thinking he is some badass colonel who did what was necessary.
He’s a coward and a bully with a high rank. He is nothing a leader should be.
Yeah that's what I think too Brian Smith, and Kendrick's character is full of himself "I like all you navy boys - every time we gotta go some place to fight, you fellas always give us a ride!" Like, where and when has he actually seen the elephant, he's a green horn Lieutenant not long out of the Military Academy and his entire short service so far has been in total peace time.
For anyone interested, check out the Rich Eisen Show when he interviews Kevin Pollak and Rob Reiner. They both talk about what Nicholson was like on the set. Awesome actor, knocked it out of the park. Pollak said Nicholson was paid $10 million for 10 days of work. On the 11th day, Reiner said, "Jack, look. I can't pay you any more but is there any way you could stay just one more day? We're a little behind schedule. I promise I'll get you out of here at noon tomorrow. Can you please stay?" And Nicholson said, "Sure! Anything you need, Robbie. I'm here for ya. I Love to act! I don't get many really great parts." Wow.
Ok.
Ease up on the worship.
He's a person who was behaving like a person.
And getting paid $10 mil for a couple of scenes of yes, superb acting, but that doesn't make him a deity.
He SHOULD be amiable and generous, when he's getting to do what he loves doing anyway, and what most of us would KILL to do.
STOP BEING BLOWN AWAY when artists behave as decent people SHOULD.
It's gross, and
sets the bar for regular human decency, low as hell.
@@oliviabell9691 Wow. I didn't realize that my comment would generate that kind of reaction. I didn't think I was worshipping Jack Nicholson. I just thought it was an interesting story about something that occurred on the set involving an actor who has an "intimidating" persona whether he actually is that way or not. Stories like this only come to light many years later and it's nice to hear those kinds of things. And no, not all artists behave nicely. Some behave terribly. Wouldn't the world be a little bit better place if we took time to recognize the best in others?
@@jaytc3218 It would be better if decent behavior wasn't treated as "extraordinary", instead of just normal human decency-especially when it is done by the people our society tends to quite sickly see as "above and beyond" reproach.
@@oliviabell9691 I know what you mean, Olivia. It's sad that decent behavior is seen as extraordinary. Maybe that's why it catches everyone by surprise--because we're already prepared for people to behave badly. Everyone takes away a certain perspective on these types of things. As for me personally, I didn't see anything particularly "extraordinary" or "above and beyond" in the way he told the story. I didn't get the impression that Jack Nicholson was portrayed in this account as overly humanitarian. It was just a nice gesture on his part to stay because Rob Reiner needed him there. Jack Nicholson would have been perfectly within his contract to tell Rob Reiner, "I'm not staying. You hired me for X number of days for X amount of money. I did my part and now I'm done." He could have done that. But he stayed. Recognizing decent behavior makes the world a better place for everyone. This is 40 years in the working world talking here. Saying "Please" and "Thank You", offering to help someone without being asked to do so, giving freely of your time when you're able to do it (as was the case in this story), people should be recognized for that. It's true that we don't have to give the "Humanitarian of the Year" award for every little good deed. But a smile, a "thank you" and remembering people for those things are all that's left at the end of the day. The cash will be gone, the awards are gone, and all the toys and goodies will all be gone. All that's left are the memories of the good things that we do for each other. If you see someone doing something good for someone else, tell them that you saw what they did! They will benefit from hearing it and you'll benefit from telling them! Do good for others. Recognize others when they do good. Cultivate peace, love, generosity, patience, and selflessness. Peace, love, and blessings to you, Olivia.
@@jaytc3218 @jaytc3218
"40 years in the working world".
You're older than me,
but not *THAT much, Sir.
I'm 45.
Yes, I look younger than my age, and though the words I use, and the way I speak, is beyond my age, and frankly above the average American's general vocabulary, my speaking *voice* ALSO sounds young.
So.
I'm used to not being taken seriously because of a certain ageism that doesn't ACTUALLY even truly apply to me,
that a lot of people MY OWN AGE engage in, as well as some who are older, engage in, who think I'm a LOT younger than them, when I've actually been a grown adult woman for the past 27+ years. I just look and have the voice of someone that a sanctimonious, presumptuous older man often thinks he has every right to talk down to, and/or dismiss. It's funny every time, and it doesn't stop me from making my points, as much as men like you want me to never say them or write them. So scared of being wrong, most of you are, and so intrinsically entitled to attempting to control every conversation-especially with women.
And if she's "young", even more so.
You don't know me like that, Sir.
Expecting better from my fellow humans does not equate to entitlement, or ungratefulness, on my part, or anyone else's part, who would like to see us do better.
You can be a great person, who says "Please" and "Thank You", like the "little lady" you so unskillfully attempted to school me to be, in your little rant, having no idea who you are speaking with, and how I actually conduct myself in my life, AND still want better from, and for, your fellow humans,
all at the same time.
*It's always interesting to watch how you men behave, when a woman says anything of note about human behavior, or yours.
It's almost as interesting to watch as watching Jack Nicholson.
But not quite😎
One thing about this film, with such focus on ranks and military decorum, Kaffee really pushes the line with how he speaks to Galloway throughout the film.
not really. in professional settings such as courtrooms or meeting different commands its important to maintain decorum however individual units are often closer and do away with the military bearing bullshit to engender a more familial environment where helping the soldier next to you isn't just something that is expected of you but something you want to do because thats your brother, your friend. customs and courtesies are only really a thing when public facing or dealing with an officer that seems to have a deathwish.
:42-:48 Nicholson puts on an acting masterclass with just two words and his expressions.
When Jack Nicholson gave him that stare at the end, MY blood ran cold
When Chuck Norris watched this scene on TV, Colonel Jessup's blood ran cold.
Jack Nicholson is such a great actor… I remember this scene from the day I watched the movie MANY years ago… Tom Cruise was the main character but Nikolson was the star… no doubt...
Jack Nicholson is an absolute icon in the industry. He completely stole this movie by his absolute ability to become Colonel Jessup. His ability to be extremely natural playing angry with a sarcasm to it and still outshine the entire cast of A rated actors. Another scene stealer similar is Al Pacinio in Scent Of A Woman in the suspension hearing. The absolute best acting greats to ever grace the screen.
Scent of a Woman was kind of lame and I like Pacino. The plot was just dumb. Dog Day Afternoon and Serpico were better, imo.
@@Rhythmicons it was a little lame but that Pacino scene was awesome.
All the work Pacino has done over the years and some people who think they are "in the know" cite Scent of a Woman is his best lol. It wasn't......it was very average.
@@mlh4711 One doesn't have to appear to be "In the know" to give an opinion on what they believe is an actors best performance. The need to apply that sarcasm is completely unnecessary,but some enjoy that form of discourse I guess.
@@mlh4711Definitely one of his best. Don't try to be edgy.
Wow!!! This movie was pretty much PERFECT!!!
The Colonel tipped his hand here big time despite all his talk about not being nervous
Agree. That last diatribe with Kaffee was what opened the door for the collapse in court.
Well, he had a career of making orders, talking tough and having it work for him. The guy was batting a thousand at that point. He probably thought he had Kaffee scared (which he did, because Kaffee would have an almost impossible task of proving Jessup had ordered the Code Red) and he probably thought that'd be enough to make it all go away. After all, if you're a young person with a promising career ahead of them, do you want to make enemies with a powerful and connected person, even if you're doing the right thing? Most people would do exactly what Jessup was hoping for and back down. And if Galloway wasn't so persistent on doing what was right, no matter what the personal cost, Kaffee would have done exactly what Jessup had planned.
1:04 is a key moment in this conversation. It's the moment when Kaffee realizes that Jessop is lying about the transfer order, he instinctively knows it in that moment, you can see it in his eyes and his hand movements. That's why he repeats Jessop's words in that sarcastic manner which we do when we know someone is lying. Markinson's look in that moment also shows that he too has realized that Kaffee has figured out that Jessop is lying in that moment, so he furtively glances at Jessop sort of hoping that the conversation doesn't go further. But Markinson knows that from this point onwards Kaffee has discovered that they are lying about the transfer order at least (separate from the order of giving the code red) , irrespective of whether they are able to find any proof of that lie or not. This moment might have convinced Markinson to help out Kaffee later in the plot when he got a chance, since he knew that Kaffee had already clued into the lie in this moment, even though he didn't make an explicit show of it. Markinson may have figured that the 3 lawyers will eventually find out about the fake transfer order sooner or later, since he could see in Kaffee's eyes that he knew that Jessop was lying about the transfer order and that their suspicion would lead them to investigate the authenticity of the transfer order thoroughly and he had put his signature on it. So he wanted to get ahead of the trouble he foresaw for himself having signed a phony document by admitting to Kaffee in a private moment that the document he had signed was a fake, which is what he did later in the plot.
So true. The one thing I don't understand is that why did Markinson took his own life?
@@BrittanyRoseWright Yes, there could be a couple of reasons for that. Reason one is that there were two things going on here. The fake transfer order on which Markinson put his signature after Santiago died. And the code red which Jessop ordered Kendrick to follow.
Now the code red order (which was given to Kendrick) is a verbal order of which there is no proof unless Jessop says with his own mouth that he gave the code red, which Markinson couldn't have known would happen later in court.
But the transfer order was a written document on which Markinson had put his own signature and that document was written proof that Markinson had committed a felony. So Markinson realized that he was in for a lot more trouble than Kendrick because he had actually signed a document which was fake. So to get himself out of trouble, he tried to help out Kaffee believing that if he turned informant then the prosecution might be able to work out a deal of immunity for him. But when he realized that Jessop had gone to the extent of fixing the tower logs he knew that this will go all the way and there's no way of knowing who could win. If Jessop managed to fool the system and escape he would have come after Markinson in the knowledge that Markinson had tried to help Kaffee. And in either case, he will be charged with a felony and a cover up if the phony transfer order was exposed, which he couldn't face in front of a court room. So he was screwed either way. That's the first reason.
The second reason was that he was a more honorable person than Jessop and he had in fact suggested that Santiago should be transferred and when Jessop ranked him down and forced him to sign the phony transfer order, he knew Jessop would take him down with him. So rather than lie in court and fight it out legally he took his own life.
Yes, he could have signed a document saying that the transfer order he had signed was fake and was created after Santiago died before he shot himself, which would have helped out Kaffee. And why he didn't do that was a mystery. He probably didn't want to make this about a deal being an honorable marine.
It could also be a mix of both the reasons above.
@@siddharthachandra3883 Well thought out detailed reasons which seems very possible of either one or both. I also think he was ashamed that he failed to protect a marine under his command, and unwillingly to testify against Jessup who was a longtime friend. It could be possible that he was also afraid to testify against Jessup and that if Jessup ever knew about that he would kill Markinson himself or he would hire someone to assinate Markinson. Whether if Jessup would or could do something like that, if it's illegal and he probably wouldn't care cause even corrupt people in power think they can do whatever they want, kill anyone, get rid of any evidence, cover it up so they won't get in trouble because they want to be in charge, to be in control of the power they have in their career position.
@@BrittanyRoseWright Thanks. That sounds plausible too. Relatedly, Markinson is clearly more afraid of Jessop than he is of Kaffee, having known him longer in life and also looking at their backgrounds. One is a ruthless commander of US forces in Cuba headed to the top and the other is a fresh faced Harvard lawyer. He clearly thought that in a toe to toe fight, Jessop would win and would escape conviction. So yes, he probably thought that Jessop would come after him before or after the trial once he found out that he has tried to help Kaffee and he probably had no faith that Kaffee would be able to protect him, because then we're talking the military vs the civilians and in that fight Markinson thought the military would win and he would be killed in either case, (an assasination like you've suggested. He had the example of Santiago in front of him as a case where someone was being sacrificed for protecting the lie, so it was in the realm of possibility).
The one thing he could have done is make a written or audio testimony that the transfer order was fake which he was forced to sign before he checked out.
@@BrittanyRoseWright There is also another possibility why Markinson decided to quit, which is that he knew that there was no way for him to prove that the transfer order document was fake, even if he admitted it. That too was not possible.
Suppose he decided to testify against Jessop and take him on in court, he would still have to prove that the document was signed on the wrong date. That's also something which is not easily provable, unless there's a way in forensics to determine which date a document has actually been signed, which I dont think there is.
So it would have ended up being his word against Jessop's. Jessop would have said the transfer order was legit and signed on the date he claimed, Markinson would have said the opposite. How could either side materially prove that they were right.
So if that did happen it would have become an all out fight fight between Jessop and Markinson, which like you pointed out, Markinson feared he would have lost because he would have been eliminated by the military in some way, irrespective of witness protection and all that.
The only thing which got the court thinking about a possible cover up was Kaffee's clever use of the fact that Santiago wasn't packed and hadn't called anyone. That's what got the jury and the judge thinking that there is something fishy going on here. If Kaffee hadn't pulled that, there was no way for the court to even suspect that the transfer order was fake.
Wow what a movie. Jack the way he speak . Wow.!!!
Great film. I remember watching this in the theater in junior high school.
Kaffee trying to act respectful when telling Joanne to just get the hell outta dodge, then she insists in asking more questions until Jessup tells the tale about women out ranking men, then procceds to shows Joanne who's really in charge there and finally puts the cherry on the cake by humiliating Kaffee....after that Kaffee finally realizes the buffoon he has been all that time, then both realizes they are dealing with the big bad wolf....cool as Hell!
Holy crap Jack Nicholson was intense you could see the steam coming out his ears 😂

@@Fusion991 name 3 action movies without CGI from the last 12 months.
The people who say this are the same folks who have seen contemporary movies and not noticed how much CGI is actually used.
Legend has it that he couldn't handle the truth.
But he wanted it!
Interesting thing is Colonel Jessup didn’t realize that Kafee was testing him.
This scene always struck me as the perfect way to reveal that, despite all his self righteous rhetoric about duty and rules and his own strength throughout the movie, Jessup is deep down a narcissist. He can't handle reality. He has to be in absolute control at all times. And he lashes out violently (by orders, both here and with the Code Red) whenever he feels that his authority isn't being respected to a degree that goes way beyond the chain of command. He's pathetic, deep down. He's not a leader. He's a brute and a bully. He doesn't inspire. He hides behind rank and authority to get his way.
I only say this because there's a weird number of people who think Jessup was right. Nah. He's exactly what you don't want in an officer. He doesn't do the smart thing and just cut someone loose who isn't cut out for service. He just can't handle that perceived slight to his own ego. Has nothing to do with the (outrageously hilariously over the top) slippery slope he rants about to his senior staff. It's all about Jessup and his fragile ego. And he pretends like he's constantly at a state of war to justify the most draconian outreach of his own self gratification even when it doesn't make a bit of coherent sense to do so.
Like yeah let's torture and / or murder a man because he's not a good fit. Instead of just... you know. Cutting him loose. That's the rational action.
You're dead right!
Are you at all familiar with the concept of "death ground"? The reason i ask is because simply saying let him loose if he's unfit or unwilling to fight... simply allowing someone to walk away from a warzone or potential warzone has major detrimental effects on a unit... incentive training and decimation have been tactics used throughout human history by many of the great powers and empires to maintain control of a situation and breed compliance within a fighting force for centuries. Honest question... how many guys do you think would have loaded into the higgens boats on D day if you simply told them hey gents you dont have to if you dont want to, you'll just be transferred out of rotation?
I admit I was never a serviceman, health issues made me never follow that path or even seriously think of it. But plenty who have said he is the worst type for being in command.
It is ironic that Colonel Jessup said that "You can't handle the truth!". 😮
he had health condition. and general didnt check for that. that was hist mistake@@Rageofthemohawk
Super Great actor Jack Nicholson , Tom cruise , & Debby Moore . 😍😍😍👍👍👍
Jessup had a hint of being rattled when asked about the transfer orders.
Because he knew full well they didn't exist and the cover-up just became more complicated.
I believe that is why he is considered one of the finest actors to ever live.
The smile of Joker didn't have enough time to phase out!!
One of the best movies ever made. Rob Reiner
Rob Reiner is still a meathead...and a idiot as well...

Superb scene. I saw a commentator once point out that all this Cuban danger didn’t actually exists. He was prolly supposed to be on the Korean DMZ in some early draft but they changed it to Cuba for some reason
It's one of the most iconic scenes in movie history!
Love this flick. Jack was superb. Tom, Demi-all superb. Writing was tight, just like the book. What the HELL happened to movies?
Funded and written by liberal left is what happened.
The suits and bean-counters got involved in departments and things they have absolutely no business being involved in.
It happened industry stopped cultivating its audience by quality and started doing it by business.
No kidding huh... I feel the same way
The movie industry got greedy like most other businesses. They expected everyone to pay 15 bucks just to step into a theater to watch a drama they could stream in a couple of months.
When you're hanging on every word, u know u are seeing a great actor with great dialogue
I had a customer just like Jack here, lemme tell ya, the customer was right that day! Scared me straight. 😢😂😂
It was a perfect movie.
When will we ever get an actor like Nicholson again.
Answer : "NEVER".
@user-hc1el3jo9hwhat exactly is American culture? Fast food, Hollywood, depending on automobiles and playing football?
Don't come knocking not on this door
@BigBadJerryRogers a lot of stuff actually, culture is one of biggest exports of the United States

you can absolutely sense the utter disdain he feels for these people .
Great Actor as well as the others ...
They don't make movies or actors like this anymore! 🎉❤
2:24 - That is when the Colonel goes for the low blows as she was onto him
hell of a movie. great acting
I used to be "pals" with a higher ranking officer who was very friendly and cool.
One day out of the blue and for no reason whatsoever he snapped at me pulled rank and told me to address him as "Sir" which I obviously did...
Sometime down the line he came to me, apologized, acknowledged he was wrong and told me we could go back to "normal"
To which I answered by saluting and saying: "Yes....... Sir"
Since that day the "collegue" died, he became an outranking officer and nothing else till the day I left.
Authority is never something to be abused or taken for granted.
Such a great scene in a great movie!
That “Thank you” and smile is vintage Jack Nicholson. God I love this movie
“You just fucked with the wrong Marine!”
Demi Moore is stunning in this movie.
shes always stunning
she is lame.
Nicholson makes the other actors in this film look like children! 👍
Greatest scene in a movie IMO Cruise stood toe to tie with Nicholson ..
Nope. Only the script made it look like Cruise stood head to head with Nicholson. In reality, Nicholson simply blew Cruise away, exposing at every step what a non-actor he was. Demi Moore fared better.
That was the end of ole Col. Jessup. 😂😂😂

Why not The Shining?
@@Izaan2810 Because the role in Cuckoo's nest had a lot more dept.

Jack conducting yet another master class in acting
Jack nicholson is amazing here. If you've ever been in the military, you come across some officers and sgt majors that you just don't cross who have that something about them and know of weird and wonderful ways of making life hard and harder. Nicholson reminds me of such people here.
Classic scene. Those in power like to play being above the law. Not a new idea. That's why CLASSIC. Of course it's very well done here. But you know Hollywood has the luxury of (1) Many Takes and (2) The Cutting and Editing Room. I wonder how much behind the scenes work it took to get this JUST RIGHT.
5:28 epic ear move
All time great 👍
Jack Nicholson uno de los mejores actores norteamericanos, excelente escena.

Wow! So intense as to perturb even the wind.
At 5:27 Nicholson is doing his Werewolf ear trick.
Demi Moore was so young :) All characters gave legendary performance in this movie.
A great source of prank call responses, this movie.
Genius actor
"So don't think for one second that you can come down here, flash a badge, and make me nervous."
Then, less then a minute later, Kaffee makes Jessup nervous simply by asking for a copy of a transfer order.
What he doesn't say is how many of those Cubans come over and make his breakfast for him.
In over six minutes, he doesn't sip his coffee refill once.
Little did he know that the counsellor had just played him into giving him a tell!
I love how they try and make Guantanamo look like a choice post that is full of danger.
Cruise: Ah ha, haha, ah ha, I got it, ha ha
Jack is great 😊
Tom's wig is so real looking. Tom has the best wigs in the business
tom cruise best role ever
"Danny; stop swingin' the bat".
i Love this scene
it just occurred to me that "Danny" is also Jack's son in the Shining, perhaps making this scene even more menacing!
This is perfect casting... you know he can go crazy because he almost murdered his wife with an axe and spent hard time institutionalized. I'm surprised they even gave him a command...
🤩 I gotta ask... how does he write women so well ???
Nobody to replace Jack Nicholson
Jessup’s arrogance is what sunk him. He thought he was the smartest man in the room.
He truly thought he did the right thing by ordering the Code Red. He saw himself as saving the lives of other Marines. That’s why he’s so arrogant. Even when he confesses in court, he feels he won’t be arrested. He’s in an alternate reality.
This is one movie that I'm surprised didn't see a sequel.
What would the sequel be about?
@@deewah1698 Jessup does time at Leavenworth. Kaffee makes admiral. Simply... Revenge. That sort of thing. However... other than, "You can't handle the truth."... really not as much meat on those bones, as I thought.
"I" thought it would have been a good idea, simply because it was such a good movie. Apparently, no one else does, as far as I know. Fortunately for movie-goers... I'm not in the business.
Thanks for your AR

Believe you danny,, OMG.. I've heard this before (Shining)!
They don't make movies like these anymore .... correction ... they don't make men like these anymore :D
