    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    Col. Jessep (Jack Nicholson) forces Lt. Kaffee (Tom Cruise) into a weakened position by forcing Kaffee to be nice.
    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.

      @@VerryJerry90 Demi Moore's character lays it all out clearly in a later scene. Kaffey asked for the transfer order specifically to see how Jessup would react to having his authority questioned. Kaffey did this right on the heels of Jessup revealing to Moore that he tacitly approves of Marines using Code Reds and, more importantly, doesn't like the idea of High Command questioning how he runs his unit from the safety of Washington. To be sure, at this point, Kaffey wasn't even dreaming of pulling Jessup onto the stand, but was pursuing an in-the-moment instinct.

    I can't even describe how good Jack Nicholson is in this movie. Just look at the shot that starts at 1:21. Just before he says "No problem" you can tell exactly what he's thinking and feeling just from his expression. The subtle movements of the eyebrows, the way his eyes narrow ever so slightly as his mouth slowly curls into a smile. You can see the sick satisfaction he gets from pulling rank and putting his subordinates in their place. You can't fake that, you've gotta live the role internally completely and utterly. The only other actor that can do that is Brando imo.

    Regardless of any suspicion of wrongdoing, Jessep is still a "full-bird" colonel and has earned that rank and the respect and courtesy that goes with it. Kaffee has a tendency to show little, if any, respect or courtesy to anyone and Jessep's the first person in the movie, I believe, that actually sticks his boot up Kaffee's ass sideways (figuratively speaking) to teach him one of the most basic lessons learned in the military.
