A Few Good Men (4/8) Movie CLIP - Kaffee Melts Down (1992) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
At his wit's end, Lt. Kaffee (Tom Cruise) explodes when Lt. Cdr. Galloway (Demi Moore) makes a suggestion to call Col. Jessep to the stand.

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.

HIT US UP:

I absolutely love how Kaffe runs through this hypothetical argument totally mockingly, where he just asks Jessup whether he ordered the Code Red, and Jessup says "yes", like it's the dumbest plan ever, and then this is exactly what happens.

[subliminallime]

"He told Kendrick to order the code red"

"He did? That's great!" LOL

[tanimislam]

the acting by Tom Cruise is just so engaging here . And the best part is that the way he mouthed the rant, the sheer despair and frustration is being felt and how much devastated Lt. Kaffee was at that point . He nails such roles where he plays a Lieutenant or a soldier..

[bigchiefbc]

"Oh, I'm sorry, I keep forgetting. You were sick the day they taught law at law school" LOL

[Mike_Rithjin]

Man, "Should We Or Should We Not Follow The Advice of The Galactically Stupid" sounds like a sweet show.

[MatthewR]

"I'm sorry I keep forgetting you were sick the day they taught law at law school"

I love that line

[uhlmwvn]

Tom Cruises display of a multitude of emotions through facial expressions, eyes, arm swings, and body gestures here is phenomenal..

[charliesouth]

To those who say Tom Cruise can't you can't argue with this scene.

[jackiebush]

Tom Cruise should have won an Oscar for this film

[LastlyMore]

Tom Cruise in his prime. You got to love it.

[georgebailey]

Tom Cruise is a great actor. I love his sarcasm in this scene. Teaching typewriter maintenance at Rococlubo School for women.Hilarious

[fluffynoses]

this scene was Tom Cruise's warm-up for Tropic Thunder 

[LesiureBoy]

This movie is excellent. It's one of those movies where you can watch it over and over and over and over and over and over, lol.

[alfiefletcher]

One of the best pieces of acting I've ever seen! Bravo Tom Cruise!

[Bobaman]

Toms best performances are when hes having a melt down

[utubedano]

I don't give a **** about what Tom Cruise is in real life but he's a damn awesome actor.
Deserves at least one of those statues.

[Justice]

I really think that Tom Cruise is really fantastic in this scene

[j-fpilote]

Best line was left off in intro:

"Anyway, since we seem to be out of witnesses, I thought I'd drink a little."

[happyhappyjoyjoy]

Everyone talks about Jacks big moment in court at end, but this is one of my favorites and really shows Cruise strengths as an actor

[marisaa.tamayo]

tom's acting in this movie along with the opening scene of mission: impossible three goes to show how much of a talented actor he is.
