Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore star in Rob Reiner's unanimously acclaimed drama about the dangerous difference between following orders and following one's conscience. Cruise stars as a brash Navy lawyer who's teamed with a gung-ho litigator (Moore) in a politically explosive murder case. Charged with defending two Marines accused of killing a fellow soldier, they are confronted with complex issues of loyalty and honor, including its most sacred code and its most formidable warrior (Nicholson). Superbly directed with a trio of powerhouse performances and an outstanding supporting cast including Kevin Pollak, Kiefer Sutherland and Kevin Bacon.

"And Santiago is...who?"
- "The victim"
"Write that down" 😅
Those are important details to write down.
“I have no responsibility’s here whatsoever” love that line haha
*responsibilities
🍷😆
I love that too
Had me cracking up.
Sounds like the Current Republican party. . .Too soon?
As a JAG who has worked with infantry Marines, I can attest that Marines are fanatical about being Marines.
Yut!!
"Kill!"
They sound pretty awful.
As someone who's a veteran of watching the show jag, I can confirm this to be true.
You know, it’s films like this that demonstrate just how good Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Jack Nicholson and all the remaining cast really are. Demi at this point in time looked stunning and her acting chops were truly on point!
Yeah they're all good, but Cruise is often overlooked for his acting. This film has a number of scenes where he really does a great job of showing many subtle emotions. My favorite is when he is puzzled in the Court Room as to whether to go for a confession or not. He is a better actor than you might think at first because his films have so much action.
@@randydrake8108 all the usual Tom Cruise- bashing aside, however deserved some respects, he’s a great actor in this film.
And the look on his face that said “That’s exactly what I wanted him to say, and I can’t believe he said it.”
They want to make plea deal cover up the scandal
They won’t need a lawyer they’ll need a priest ha ha
Just noticed: Kaffee walks the wrong way when he leaves, realizes his mistake and u-turns.
I recently noticed that too.
😄 I never caught that before
Loooooool
Yeah
Right
Lol....thanks!
I'm not 100% sure that's him.
His commander being irritated and shoving that pen to Kafee is a really great detail of filmmaking.
he should have added "You have never seen me very upset"
The apple looks delicious
Yeah I caught that too. That guy was in "Gattica", in a small part but he impressed me. Piercing blue eyes.
Also the Nick Cage and Sean Connery movie The Rock, He's one of the FBI techs in the package disarmament room as Cage is trying to diffuse the bomb. He's yelling at Cage to take the atropine shot before diffusing the bomb. He turns to his college and says "We're not gonna make it"
He was in T2 as John Conner's foster dad
The cinematography in this movie is just off the charts. It still looks like it was made yesterday.
Never realized he had stuff on his uniform during his meeting with Galloway lol. Fits his character
Tom Cruise at his Tom Cruisiest!
He got it down to 6 months pretty quick. He underestimated even himself.
No way no how a junior officer chews on an apple in front of a senior officer in a first meeting. No way
Lawyers and Doctors have a very different experience in the military. Much more relaxed. A bunch of doctors visited the base where I was assigned and I was detailed to lead them around. They were shocked when I saluted them. They were O2-O6s.
Since when are Hollywood representations in any way connected to actuality 😂
That's why it's obvious how she ended up becoming a stripper shortly after this.
They got this piece right from the standpoint of how different lawyers and doctors are from the rest of the military.@@small_ed
Hollywood
"I have no responsibility whatsover" is epic. 😂
"You're gonna have to go deeper than that!" If I had a nickel for every time a woman told me that... 🤦🏽♂️
you'd have 0 nickels.
@suleymanbabak1973 damn right, I'd have zero nickels. I'm always deep enough, or too deep. I was just trying to be modest. Ask your mom. 😉
Boo - yaa !
You don't come munching an apple like that to somebody's desk under any circumstances in any situation, let alone in a military environment and addressing a superior officer.
I HATED the way this movie wasn’t accurate with the technical aspects of military life. For example, Cruise would've been hung out to dry for saying _”Wow, I'm sexually aroused Commander!"_ to Galloway, and he would've been court-martialed for the way he screamed at Col. Jessup on the witness stand.
*EDIT: Does anyone here remember the football movie **_Rudy_** ? Dan Devine (former Notre Dame head coach) was so furious by the way he was portrayed in that movie that he threatened to sue the film's producers...*
*Does anyone here remember the movie **_Flight Plan_** with Jodie Foster? The Association of Flight Attendants and the Transport Workers Union Local 556 (two labor unions representing flight attendants) tried to organize a nationwide boycott of the film, because they felt the film depicted flight attendants as rude, unhelpful, etc.,...*
*Does anyone here remember the movie **_Chappaquiddick_** ? Members of the Kennedy family worked behind the scenes to try to stop the film from even being made...*
*Does anyone here remember the movie **_W._** about George W. Bush? Members of the Bush family trashed the film (even before it was released in theaters)...*
*So no offense, but when I hear all you clowns saying **_"Ahhhh, so what? It's just a movie, so what if it's unrealistic?"_** , I think of the examples I've listed and many others. FACT IS: if any of you ever clowns ever got to be rich or famous and they had you as a character in a movie, there's no doubt in my mind you'd be screaming bloody murder if you didn't like how you were portrayed.*
lol
I couldn't believe she didn't lock his heels for such flippant insubordination/disrespect.
@@sean2015 folks who have been in see these glaring examples, but your average every day citizen whose only military experience is call of duty and movies needs to have these over the top examples. To show comparative flippancy of the navy vs the marines in Guantanamo
@@BritneyStinson Aaron Sorkin is not a good writer, at all.
She. Was. So. Gorgeous in that uniform. And, well, everything else.
Blame it on Rio
No senior officer would have tolerated that behavior.
@@marshallposey7842 Yes, it's Hollywood exaggeration. But many good scenes in films are spoilt if realism is taken into account. For example, even the dumbest cop would not try in real life to shave someone like Rambo with a straight razor.
@@marshallposey7842 I hated the way they weren't accurate with the technical aspects of military life in this movie. For example, Cruise would've been formally formally reprimanded for saying _"Wow, I'm sexually aroused commander"_ to Galloway, and he would've been court-martialed for the way he screamed at Col. Jessup on the witness stand.
Bruce Willis was a lucky man at this time
He still is. She’s taking care of him while he has dementia, and she’s not even required to do that legally anymore.
She got big ears
@@nicholasmuro1742her ears aren’t the only things that are big
@@briantfair
Tig ol' biddies! ♥️ x2
So, you have the hots for a 60+ year old woman.
Hahaha.
I must guess that you are about 70..
I could watch this movie over and over again and still want to see it, again and again.
Little slip on this scene. Demi Moore was still wearing her wedding ring; her character was single.
Another slip on this scene is the clock never moves from 11:35, so I guess 0600 will never happen.
🍪🍪🍪🍪
Someone like Kaffee would be kicked out of my office ...
"Is that 0:600 in the morning, sir?" -Kaffee. Lol.
Called out what people thought he was, am idiot. By doing so proven he wasn't
This trips many people!!!!
I am sure he had a motive for asking this question! Almost everyone knows the answer to this question! LOL
What the fuck is that?
It's "0600".
Interesting character note here - he forgets to carry a pen even though it is virtually a tool of the trade for a lawyer (a lawyer is called a "signer" in Irish slang) and the supervisor has to throw him one. Later on as he is preparing the case he tells the others to pick up half a dozen boxes of black pens and half a dozen of red pens - almost overkill in fact.
Yes, but the lack of a pen reflects Kaffee’s cavalier attitude about the Navy. Remember he has only been in the Navy for 6 months. Even Galloway in the movie mentions about when Kaffee’s dad died he joined the Navy because “that’s what his dad would have wanted.”
It's a recurring theme: I remember when he goes to Gitmo to talk to Jessup he was also searching for a pen and Jo had to hand him one
How did Tom Jack and Demi not win an award for this movie.
It's crazy, "A Few Good Men" was nominated for some Academy Awards, but didn't win any. No doubt, a great movie, but had the unfortunate circumstance of going up against 2 blockbusters. "Scent of a Woman" and "Unforgiven".
@@markorkarenhanes1354 It lost to 'Scent of a woman'? I was just thinking of that movie but never in a million years would I put it ahead of this one. Maybe I missed something when I watched it
@@nemdenemam9753 Yeah, you would have thought "A Few Good Men" should have won something. Al Pacino got best actor for "Scent of a Woman", and "Unforgiven" got a bunch, including best picture. All three really good movies.
Jack won best supporting actor Oscar
@@OutlawTorn33 It was the 65th Academy Awards, and Jack Nicholson was nominated, but didn't win. Gene Hackman won best supporting actor for "Unforgiven".
Lt Kaffee was perfectly executed by Tom Cruise. He surely deserved an Oscar tbh. He acted stupid because he knew he was wicked smart and was charming others easily. He exploited his good looks, intellect and was surely getting women left and right. Contrast to Kevin Pollack, the total opposite. The juxtaposition was amazing to watch.
It took me about 25-30 times watching this fantastic movie to understand the line later when Galloway says, "I'm sorry I lost your set of steak knives." The scenes are so far apart that you forget about it completely but wow, the nuance and great writing is just stunning.
Aaron Sorkin can't miss
Glengarry Glen Ross: Coffee's for closers. See this watch First prize: A Cadillac. Second prize: A set of steak knives :-)
I actually thought she really did lose a set of steak knives in his apartment when she said it at first, wondering how she could manage that.😂 It was only after re watching this movie one time and when he mentioned that if he wins one more case he'll get a set of steak knives that I realised that's what she was referring to.
I think this was written as a play initially. So the line would be easily remembered in the theater.
Demi at her absolute greatest
NNAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...CHECK OUT -FLAWLESS- WITH MICHAEL CAINE
Brilliant scene, played to perfection by three accomplished actors. The personalities of each is firmly established by the same.
Its so funny going back and watching these films as an adult. I was just a kid when I first saw this and didnt really understand everything. But seeing Demi Moore when she was probably about the same age that I am now, I now realize why she was who she was. She was ridiculously good looking back then and it took me growing up to see it.
Good looking? The woman was so seething hot back then, they'd have her dressed up in diving bell and she'd still make men drool over her.
So true. Just a Hollywood actress then. Part of st Elmo’s fire group w rob lowe n Andrew McCarthy etc.. did the striptease movie n gi jane then 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍
A semi-serious article on her in a film magazine wrote that the shorter her hair was in a film, the better the film. So this is a good one, so is "Ghost", while "Indecent Proposal" in which her hair was long was not.
Some might argue that Demi Moore is still ridiculously good looking.
She turned 30 just before this was released (Dec. 1992).
1:48 I always loved the back slap lol.
One of the greatest movies ever .
Definitely in my top 10 movies of all-time
Entertaining to watch because of the acting. But I hated Demi Moore's character in this film. She's supposed to be one of the "good guys" and I wound up hating her character more than Col. Jessup.
@@sean2015she IS the “good guy” in this film. If it weren’t for her, the two enlisted men would’ve spent the rest of their lives in prison.
@@fleetskipper1810 what do you mean if it weren't for "her" ? KAFFEE (not Galloway) is the one who got Jessup to confess on the witness stand. Kaffee is the one who made significant deductions and findings of circumstantial evidence which implicated Jessup, such as the fact that Santiago wasn't packed only a few hours before he was set to leave, or that he shouldn't have been in any danger had Jessup ordered him not to be harmed.
Galloway on the other hand almost singlehandedly botched their entire case during the discovery phase of the trial, when she failed to uncover that Downey wasn't present in the room when the Code Red order was given. That was her responsibility, and no real-life attorney could or would make such a stupid mistake.
As for the two enlisted men, I find them a bit annoying too. I don't care if they were following orders or not. They brutally hazed and murdered a fellow Marine and they expect their attorney to just wave a magic wand and get them off the hook. I have a hard time describing them as "good guys" either.
My favorite Tom Cruise performance and one of my favorite movies.
My brother went to High School with the man that Cruises character was based on. Super nice dude
When she says 'Would you like me to take care of that?, I only just realized after many watches that she's referring to the apple and not the officer's next of kin.
???? !!!!
“You’re gonna have to go deeper than that.” 😂
He proudly did after the movie
The reason Kaffee wants his steak knives is so he can cut up his apples instead of eating them whole
Demi Moore's performance was so underrated in this movie. She was terrific.
3:42 if this was a curb your enthusiasm episode there’d be a whole bit about how the garbage can wasn’t lined
I've seen this movie - in the theaters when it first came out lol! I came to this clip aimlessly, just looking for a brief diversion. But this movie is so damn good, I wound up watching the entire clip all the way through and now am considering revisiting the film on DVD. Sheesh, Sorkin knows how to write 'em
I could litigate and get you a refund but I'd have to use an insanity plea for why you paid for a movie and DVD.
Interestingly enough, he stole the idea when he was a bartender from his sister. It's a true story, and having been in the military I can see why.
I remember when it came out Weinberg's line "I have no responsibilities here whatsoever" got a laugh from some in the audience. Perhaps his deadpan delivery.
It's scientifically impossible to revisit film on DVD.
It is a damn good movie. You have to forget about some of the glaring errors with military rank and protocol (like, there's no freakin' way that a base commander would be involved in the Code Red of some private, that's about 15 layers of management below him; even if he somehow knew and approved, he'd be smart enough to admit nothing, put nothing in writing, and not be seen anywhere near when it happened, his only remark would be to a VERY trusted senior NCO, "Solve the problem, I don't care what you do, and I don't want to know."). Also, if a lieutenant from another command came in and behaved like that with an LCDR, he'd leave that office thinking he'd been fucked by a train. Still a VERY good movie.
This clip (more specifically, its contrast with the scenes with Jessep interacting with his men) really shows that everything Jessep said about Kaffee--and JAG officers in general--was right. Jessep had him 100% pegged. Well, 99%. He underestimated just how much Kaffee had him pegged, too.
Was disappointed upon watching that there was no actual pegging involved in the film.
This movie is a solid 10, I hope to God hollywood doesn't attempt a remake.
it will, and it'll be race swapped
Cruise is sooooo good. Totally nails it
Demi Moore, Tom Cruise and Kevin Pollak in uniform. Something for everyone.
This is a pretty small thing to comment on, but the lighting in this movie is on point. I don't what it is, but it feels like there's some sort of bloom effect.
I miss seeing movies like this they just don’t make them like they used to
What a thriller!!
2:58 "Am I doing something wrong?" - "Yes, Lieutenant. The apple act (and that's what it is, an act being used to deliberately convey an attitude) is wrong from the very get go". BTW, the part was so convincingly played by Tom Cruise that I was itching to jump into the scene and knock that flipping apple out of his gob myself ! Brilliant acting.
She never said that. She just made a jab at his lack of professionalism.
Damn you’re tough big boy
Yes, just the general lack of respect he was showing toward a higher-ranking officer really kind of irked me.
her character did the best thing you can do in such a situation: not giving a shit about his act.
@@antred11 One thing I find irritating about this movie is that she's a lieutenant commander, which means she's been an attorney AND in the Navy for 10 years, who's apparently never learned to delegate authority or - and this is something you normally get taught in law school - that you want to keep as many cases out of the courtroom as possible.
5:28 - 5:33
The exit is to your left.
"Your other left!"😡
Kaffee's bearing, discipline and attention to detail...Lord help him. 🤣
Truly one of my all time favorite movies ! ❤
It's funny how Kaffee seems so irreverent and unprofessional (not to mention is so inexperienced), but then goes to Galloway's office and after a brief chat and two questions tells her what kind of plea bargain he can get and actually gets it (as shown later on in the movie).
In which case I'd put it to you he's a long way ahead of the curve.
This sets Kaffee up to show how smart he is, how slick and practiced he is in NAPA, letting defense counsel to agree to plea bargains he and, incidentally, how inexperienced he is as a trial attorney.
All of this information is conveyed so simply and quickly. Yes, the screenplay was well written, and that helps a lot. But the actor still had to sell it. I think he did.
@@fleetskipper1810 I'm actually remarking on all of those things here. I know what the point of this scene was. I also know later he was specifically chosen because the powers that be wanted this whole case to go away and not garner any publicity. They chose him because they knew he would be able to negotiate a plea deal.
Um, no. The only charge the guys were guilty of was conduct unbecoming. He saved them from prison by not plea bargaining- that was a major point in the film.
@@cz2165 Let me clarify: He gets the plea bargain in the sense that the prosecution (don't know if they're called "DA") agreed to it. His clients rejected it though, which was an integral part to both the plot and his character development (as it forced him to actually try a case for once). So, yes, that was what they were convicted on, BUT they did have the OPPORTUNITY to take the deal Kaffee wanted in this scene.
In the real Navy nobody and I mean nobody would so casually talk to a captain or a commander with such nonchalance, the fact that he didn’t salute the commander and respectfully wait for her to address him is conduct unbecoming.
All branches 💯
Good that the writers took artistic license, else the movie would have been 15 minutes long
The Navy doesn’t salute indoors. That’s the Army you’re thinking of. But I agree, his utter disrespect for a superior officer would never fly.
JAG and Doctors are very different from the real parts of all the branches. It's much more relaxed, much more like a civilian job.
The first time I saw this movie I thought for sure Kaffee and Galloway would get together and make this a love story as well. Kudos to Rob Reiner for keeping their relationship on a professional level and letting the court case be the star of the movie. However, I do agree with the Siskel and Ebert review that the ending to this movie would have been much stronger if they wouldn't have telegraphed it by Kaffee explaining the whole thing first.
original stage play, all three characters were men. there was no love story in the play
@@deankay8894 Don’t ask don’t tell notwithstanding there could still have been a love story. I think it’s more the seriousness of the situation that puts a damper on romance.
That is the #1 problem with movies these days, they want to put romance into every movie, thus complicating the rest of the story. One of the biggest reasons this movie works is because there is no romance between Kaffee and Galloway.
@@phenomenal-xv4eyAbsolutely. It would’ve been ridiculous to force the romance into this scenario.
She clearly got her panties wet for him by the end of the movie but he was used to girls fawning on him clearly. He is clearly a player and not a romantic ans would end up a playboy for sure. Lawyer + charm and good looks for a guy coupled with intellect and he will be having as many women as he wants. But the char of Lt Kaffee is not romantic but a cheeky womanizer type or one who hunts cougars for quickies
Looking back, a murder trial would not be assigned to a lawyer with around one year of experience.
It shouldn't have been. That's the point. The higher-ups wanted to make sure the case didn't go to trial.
Thanks a lot!!!
Tom Cruise is the greatest movie actor of his generation. Totally underrated. It's a crime he doesn't have an Academy Award. In this scene, he shows subtle and not-so-subtle comedic skills. He can do it all. Amazing actor.
@Bønzëaux Błëuxgrēn Academy Awards are the #1 most prestigious and covetted rating of film professionals.. Is Cruise over or under awarded by the Academy?
This isn't great acting really. It's pretty close to his own personality and isn't too far from the same persona in Risky Business or some of the Mission Impossible movies.
Raspy voice whore is shitty no wonder the bitch retired then ya get pollack whose funny as shit and put him in a thankless role
@@imtryinghere1 That is the standard Cruise criticism and there is something to it. But, IMHO, I don’t think it’s fair.
@@dougmaclennan8654 He's not a bad actor. But his best acting was probably in Magnolia, Jerry McGuire or Born on the Fourth of July. A few good men is a better script than the acting.
Tom Cruise was here very young and handsome big charisma. He is 30-31 years old here in 1993 but he looking 18 years old
18? No way perhaps 25
0:12 😂😂😂 George Mason handing Danny a assignment packet from Division? I didnt know Tom Cruise was in 24. 😂
"be eating an apple when you enter her office so you look like more of an asshole"
LCDR- "lieutenant this letter makes it look like your client had a motive to kill Santiago"
Kaffee- "gotcha & Santiago is, who?"
LCDR- "the victim"
Kaffee- "write that down"
Dude I seen this movie 32 times and this part is still funny to me 🤣🤣🤣
Not to be a dick, but it’s abbreviated LCDR in the navy.
The medical officer was the key to this case.If he had made a timely,and accurate,diagnosis Pvt Santiago would have gotten a medical discharge from the Marines.
Many people fail to recognize Christopher Guest as the actor that played the doctor. Guest is a true chameleon actor, and is often not recognized even when he is in prominent roles, like The Princess Bride, Best in Show, and Spinal Tap.
@@dogatonic And married to Jamie Lee Curtis.
Commander Stone is an internist; not a criminologist. The medical facts are ultimately inconclusive
Jessup had his pick of options to deal with Santiago short of conspiracy and assault. He gets a medical discharge for the heart condition, busted for trying to rat on Dawson, or if the medical didn't pan out, kicked out for failing physical fitness standards. Giving him the transfer he wanted didn't even need to be on the table.
@@robertwhitcomb6105 The Commander should have put Santiago on light duty and referred him to a cardiologist...who would have easily made a correct,and timely,diagnosis.
Everything about that movie is perfect!
There are no movies like that today....
"oh six hundred...is that in the morning?" "shipmate.....are you serious right now?"
If the Navy allowed that kind of insubordination, their officers wouldn’t be respected.
I love how they set up Downey's character as someone who looks to Dawson as his role model and icon by making his only living relative an aunt. A very subtle detail that probably almost no one notices but is just in there to make Downey's character more convincing.
“I once had my driver’s license suspended…”
“Danny…”
Gets me every time 😂 Even Sam knows that is too much smart-mouth
This scene is ridiculous, over the top, and Cruise was over-acting.
@@sgt.thundercok4704 I don't think Cruise over-acted, but the scene is ridiculously Hollywood. IRL Kaffee would have been off the case before he got out of the building.
Was that "and I get a set of steak knives" a reference to Glenn Garry Ross? 😂
It was a common "gift" for game shows in the day. You win a trip to Hawaii and a set of steak knives. Probably a sponsor anomaly. It is at the core of a dozen jokes and phrases. Probably has lost all meaning over time.
just noticed the expert pins on Whitaker's gun qual ribbons are both backward
Good film well acted..
At 5:10 Demi says, "My jurisDICTion is pretty much in your face." Mama mia.
Normally, movies that paint such a horribly inaccurate picture of the working/organizational culture of the military are insufferable/unwatchable for a lot of people; me, for instance. Anyone who's been in, or worked among, the military for any significant length of time can tell that Rob Reiner clearly hasn't the foggiest idea how military officers interact and talk to each other.
But if you can parse that out and judge the movie based on the dialogue/performances/et al, it's gripping, engaging, marvelously-acted and brilliantly-executed cinema. It's just great entertainment.
Such a good movie.
Such a great film. All star cast, story, plot, and acting....
The acting is very good of course (Nicholson and Cruise are two of Hollywood's finest). But the writing is atrocious. Aaron Sorkin can go to hell.
@@sean2015 why do you say that? I like the writing, but I’m wondering if I missed something?
Also all-star direction AND DIALOGUE.
That smudge that appears and disappears from Cruise' s shirt is annoying🤣
Beautiful military girl
Still my favorite movie!
"Some embarrasment for the security council guy?" cracks me up
My respect for Tom cruise! ❤
Not a big fan of tom Cruise but he was so good in this movie. I loved this movie.
Tom has made nothing but great movies. He’s the epitome of a movie star. And he’s a great actor.
@Victor Lopez He's made one or two stinkers in there, but overall his career has been great. Loved his since All The Right Movies and The Outsiders, based on a book written by someone from my hometown about my hometown in the 60s, which just about every OK kid read before the movie came out.
His batting average as for picking and performing roles puts him in the GOAT conversation. I would say non better over the last 30 years. He's in the Pitt, Damon, DiCaprio tier of superstar actor when it comes to consistently making great movies, with great performances, that people will pay to see.
@@dafaq7561 Pitt, DiCaprio, and Damon WISHED they had half the career as Tom. Over 35 years of successful blockbusters. Not to mention he just made a movie that grossed over $1.5 billion during covid when no studio had the guts to make a decent movie knowing they’ll lose $. Taps, The outsiders, Risky business, all the right moves, Top Gun, The color of money, young guns, rain man, born on the 4th of July (should’ve won the Oscar), Days of thunder, far and away, a few good men, the firm, interview with the vampire, mission impossible, Jerry Maguire, eyes wide shut, magnolia, vanilla sky, minority report, the last samurai, collateral, war of the worlds, tropic thunder, Jack reacher, etc etc. I bet if you asked those other 3 if they belong in the same stratosphere as Tom they’d laugh…
@@Vjl5280 solid points. When it comes to dollars, I think you're absolutely right. However, and this is not a knock against Cruise but a defense on the other three, Pitt, Damon, and DiCaprio do tend to make more passion projects,risky choices, and indies. I know Tarantino isn't exactly an indie filmmaker, but, and I can be absolutely wrong, I don't think Cruise makes movies that are off the beaten path like "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" anymore. It just depends what you value, I suppose. Open to persuasion, though.
The amount of flesh Tom gets off that apple is simply absurd.
eating an Apple, like the villain in Quantum of Solice ?!!?
Thanks for the endless love and support you have constantly shown me. I’m forever grateful. I really appreciate your unconditional love towards me...Where are you watching from?
I forgot how hot Demi Moore was..
I dated someone that looked like how Demi looked here. So 😍
I eas trying to look for something else and this clip came up. One if THE greatest movies ever made with a tip notch cast. These actors don't get any better than that.
Now i have to take out my dvd and watch the whole damn movie. 😂😂😂
This is better than I recall. Ought to re-watch the DVD of the entire movie :-)
Having come from a military family and spending a wee bit of time on installations I'm always amused by Kaffee's slovenly appearance and overly casual attitude when speaking to Galloway, a superior officer. From what I've seen growing up I'd be surprised he made it to her office looking that way, since the first superior officer who saw him would have had something to say about how disrespectfully he's wearing the uniform.
Having been a Navy brat as well as serving in the Navy I have to agree with you. Maybe JAG is different than the Fleet in how junior officers interact with senior officers but for some reason I don’t think that it’s as informal as is portrayed in this film. With his attitude his FitRep would be so bad that I could see him being passed over for promotion to Lt.
In spite of that it is a fantastic movie.
I was in the Navy myself and yes, his uniform is a mess and his behavior juvenile. But story wise it's a good setup that pays off later when he proves to be much better than the initial impression of him suggests. The story would be much weaker if he didn't have to grow up some.
Unfortunately, at least in the Air Force, I think Dress and Appearance standards are dropping.
@@ssmt2 Also, in the next scene where they are together, Kaffee actually makes a completely unsolicited sexual comment about Galloway. And she doesn't even react like it's nothing. There's a lot of unrealistic stuff in this movie. Another big one is the idea they keep stating that Kaffee will be punished severely if he questions certain witnesses too harshly, which is totally false. Still an amazing movie though.
@@Trip_Fontaine In 1992 he would have gotten away with most of this. Lawyers, doctors, dentists, they were jobs that happened to wear a uniform.
I recall my first time in DC as a young First Class Petty Officer stationed aboard a Carrier out of Norfolk VA. The first officer I saw I rendered the Fleet sailor salute. He had a bag of McDonalds in one hand, a coke in the other and a cigarette in his mouth. A disgrace! The military is overrun with bureaucrats posing as Officers.
Some people think Kaffee is unrealistically casual here, but it sounds like such a lackadaisical attitude could occur.
@@stevekaczynski3793 agreed, especially with someone who came into the Navy with a huge chip on his shoulder and treated being in the service with distain, based on his personal past.
demi moore is absolutely stunning
That lieutenant commander would have RIPPED that Lt in shreds in real life with that attitude.
She's beautiful n the way she fix her hair haha
Navy regs.
She's in the Navy. Not allowed to wear your hair like you're going to the club!
I love how clueless Cruise plays Kaffee here... and how little it has to do with his legal analysis of the case.
Kafee is so chauvinistic. He's wonderful
From a mathematical standpoint, Kaffee eats her for breakfast....
From a strategic standpoint, I believe DIVISION took her VERY seriously. Knew all the facts and felt Kaffee WAS her best chance at winning this case.... Jessup, the Naval Criminal Division Commander are legit killers....
She's just damn Lucky because that high ranking an officer would NEVER purger themselves.... Her career would have been destroyed...
What would her career be destroyed for? That idea that you can't put a high ranking Commander on the stand and question them if they committed a violation or issued a code red is fiction (its not even called a code red). It was made up for the movie. In a real military court, defense council would be free to question Jessup up and down, all day, on whether he ordered the code red or did anything wrong. A lot of what you see in the court room, in this movie, is not how a court room works. One thing that wouldn't be allowed is council screaming at a commander, "I WANT THE TRUTH!!! DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED?!!!" But it does make for a great scene.
I believe they chose him because they wanted it. Plea bargained and gone.
Otherwise, why would you choose an inexperienced lawyer, a year out of law, school, with a history of nothing but plea-bargains.
@@neilkurzman4907 Weinberg stated that Kaffee was the best litigator in the office. He was a legal prodigy and he had the pedigree.. His problem is that he was too good.

That’s not what I got from it.
That's a possibility and the film never directly answers this question however Kaffee himself points out that if you wanted to make a case disappear as quickly as possible while staying above the books, it makes a lot of sense to assign the case to someone with a known history of quick plea-bargins and never taking a case to trial.
Special counsel for internal affairs? Does the military have an internal affairs department? I haven’t heard of such a thing.
Something about this movie its very cool
Red John pulled the strings from the get go.
This is gonna sound funny and don’t judge me. But, I’m 49 and remember watching this movie when it first got available to rent at BlockBuster or maybe even before then. I swear it never dawned on me that Kevin Bacon was in this movie until I saw it while visiting my niece when she had her appendix removed 2 years ago! Now that’s sad!
A ton of actors in this movie - Chris Guest (Spinal Tap), Noah Wyle and Cuba Gooding. For a few years, I was sure that that Blythe Danner played Aunt Ginny.
I'm always reading in the papers about people being considered for operations jobs in federal agencies.
May have been a reference to the military trade press. Washington back in the day had a trade publication for everything.
@@waynetompkins3006 i'd be surprised if sorkin thought of that but you may be right that such info could actually have been publicized that way. (in general, sorkin did not take pains to reflect real life. e.g., a lawyer isn't banned from asking tough questions of high-ranking officers, and the officer isn't exempt from answering them.)
@@SAK1855 couldve just been from a military news source. On any military outlet, they sell military times news papers. Today however, you can find almost anything with just typing on your phone.🤷♂️
@@SalemElloit so true.. early 90s no internet or social media. Just tv n papers..and Lt kaffee so out of it w anything but softball Lt Weinberg has to tell him everything.. what a fence line in Cuba is, that col jessup has been in the papers about the national security council.
@@mkrny111 which is elected by the president. So it wouldve been in public forums of who he was, and what position he was being selected for. Every president we have had, the news outlets always spoke about who was being selected by the newly elected president to help him navigate military personnel, and such.
2:04 Once you realize that Cruise has his second button from the collar down unbuttoned in this shot, you can't unsee it.
I was wondering if it was deliberate: To suptly indicate Kaffee was a little lax. But in the other shots, the button is buttoned, so, it's a continuity error.
You are dismissed hahahaha
She wasn’t a very good lawyer. Kaffee was right.
Technically speaking yeah..... She was waaaayyyy too much of an idealist. In an actual war the strategist, Kaffee, win 98% of the time statistically...
@@tajm9220 you're way off with that 98%
That's how they wrote the script & screen play for her character....
@@James.G.Ireland Twas a longshot that they'd win the case. Kaffee was right, she made a GALACTICALLY stupid move by not ENSURING that her client heard the order directly from Kendrick. Implications are practically useless in a court of law. In a court of public opinion she'd be a rockstar. In a court of law she's cannon fodder...
Movie is based on a true story and in real life there is no demi moore character. That was just woke hollywood feeling like they need to inject a woman into this.
kind of disrespectful to casually munch an apple in front of a superior officer.
that's his character at the start of the film. the navy was just a stepping stone and something he wanted to get through as fast as possible
It is Demi Moore...I would be happy to disrespect her
Kind of easy to show disrespect to someone like Galloway. As I said in another comment, I'd have likely ended up in the brig if I had to deal with someone as irritating as her.
Kind of disrespectful it's extremely disrespectful. If I was his Superior officer I'd kick his ass with all kinds of shitloads of paperwork to punish him for being an ass.
It's a MOVIE!!! WHY DO PEOPLE MAKE THIS STUFF TRUE LIFE. JUST ENJOY THE MOVIE !!
I enjoy both the movie and the play!
