A Few Good Men (5/8) Movie CLIP - I Didn't Dismiss You (1992) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Col. Jessep's (Jack Nicholson) upper hand against Lt. Kaffee (Tom Cruise) doesn't last very long.

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.

“Take a seat...Colonel.”

I love the way the judge delivers that last line, with that edge of dislike and sarcasm. :)

[johnkeeper]

"Defense counsel will address the witness and Colonel or sir..." and..."The witness will adress this court as Judge or Your Honor...I'm quite certain I've earned it"...one of the best few lines in this movie.

[ChrisWolff]

There is not one weak link in the cast. Every actor is giving it their all in this film.

[FinleyMcB]

“Take your seat, Colonel” - the sting on the end of that sentence is amazing

[divxsamsung]

The older I get, I've come to realize just how talented tom cruise is as an actor. The man was a kid in this movie acting against giants like Jack Nicholson.

[wallochdm]

Being in the military doesn't automatically make you a "hero". This film does a good job of illustrating that fact.

[tjcj]

Not many actors get to put a Nicholson character in his place. The actor playing the judge did it brilliantly.

[serenityflies]

One of the best movie scenes ever! The acting from both actors was beyond superb.

[jbarry]

"The witness will address this court as 'Judge' or 'Your Honor'...I'm quite sure I've earned it!"

[tripjet]

"The REAL heroes are the ones who know how to AVOID war." - General George S. Patton

[alexsky]

I love this judge..He put back Nicholson in his boots right on the spot!!! That was a major blow to his ego! Like he isn't above the law.

[gcHK]

Who here agrees that Jack Nicholson has a listenable voice?

[finster]

I still remember being in the movie theatre when he said “I’m not through with my examination. Sit down.” The combination of chuckles and whooaahs is burned into my memory banks. 😂😂

[tthomaselli]

"The witness will address this court as 'Judge', or, 'Your Honor'... I'm quite certain I've earned it...".

--Julius Randolph.

[Haywerth]

This is the precise moment where Kaffee stopped being the plea bargaining ambulance chaser and became an *officer.*

[jebojsa]

“Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.”

― Friedrich Nietzsche

[tthomaselli]

"Take your seat--Colonel!...".

Julius Randolph is one judge that you don't want to mess with!...

[morganmarsh]

Cruise can't swing a baseball bat but he can act like hell

[RA-jtgr]

Amazing acting by cruise....the hand shaking slightly while drinking water shows how shaken up he is because of the last line of questioning and also the uncertainty and the consequence of what will happen next

[drlee]

This is one of those movies that really ages well. Maybe because it's almost purely military, but it doesn't look or feel dated. And the courtroom scenes are actually fascinating..
