Jessup's Confrontation with Kendrick | A Few Good Men (Jack Nicholson)

My dears, in this pivotal scene, Colonel Jessup (Jack Nicholson) asserts his dominance over Kendrick (Kiefer Sutherland). The atmosphere is charged with authority as Jessup reminds Kendrick of the prevailing hierarchical order.

🎬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.

I love that Tom doesn't even blink and would absolutely have gotten the President on the phone if Jessup hadn't stopped him.

Jack Nicholson totally rocked this role in every scene he was in. Made the role as real as it could possibly be.

RIP J.T. Walsh. A very talented actor with many supporting roles. He died only about 6 years after this film came out.

Nicholson's such a treat to watch & listen to in this legendary role. Just heavenly.

"Tom, get me the President on the phone...we're surrendering our position in Cuba." ..."Yes, sir."

[Wolfey]

I love how Tom is going to execute any order no matter how absurd

[jrey]

I love how Jack looks like a happy guy and a psycho at the same time.

The delivery of "who the fuck is PFC William T. Santiago" is the greatest character introduction of all time imo.

This movie is saturated with talents. Jack was a legend already. Walsh, Tom, Demi, Kevin and many actors made it big in Hollywood. This is a classic movie among many classics during 90s - the best decade for classics.

I love this film. I watch it whenever It’s showing on tv, and one of my go to movies when on a flight.

[GizmoBeach]

If PFC Santiago had only written to Santa Claus, none of this would’ve happened. 🎅🏻

Jessup: "Don't ever question my orders in front of another officer".
Markinson: "Well, maybe it's your own damn fault for not taking the conversation private when I suggested it..."

[elindauer]

If you've never seen A Few Good Men, it's about a young officer named Tom, who struggles with nightmares after discovering the truth about US plans to surrender to Cuba.

[johngreen]

You can tell by the fear in his voice - Keifer Sutherland really thought Jack Nicholson was going to kill him. That’s how good an actor Nicholson is

[paulboulter]

I blame Dr Stone for Santiago’s death.He missed his coronary condition during a routine medical exam.Had he diagnosed it, Santiago would have probably been medically discharged & Jessup would have made 1 ⭐️

Jack Nicholson: actor skill level: Divine

[iwanegerstrom]

-"What are we gonna do with him? Transfer him?"
-"Yeah, I'll transfer him, all the way out from the USMC. It's clear that he isn't fit to be a soldier, so I want him out."
*Roll credits*

[Ryansilver-wz]

Tom was like oh boy he didn’t take his medication today, but yes, sir

[dawski]

This is where you see why Jessep is a terrible leader. His 2IC or whatever he is, is there to offer his honest advice and to speak his mind, not be a yes man. Markinson offers to speak in private, gets rejected, so then says out loud his opinion, which is what he’s there for and paid to do. Instead, Jessep reacts like the hugely prideful, arrogant asshole he is and lambasts Markinson as though he stepped out of line and was being facetious. Jessep thinks his position as a high ranking military leader entitles him to non-negotiable respect and immunity to criticism, which is why his constant monologues on military honor are a bunch of bullshit: He demands the respect associated with but shows none of the responsibilities for the role, he just wants people to what he says

😂😂😂 "Who the fck is PFC William T. Santiago?"
