Lt. Daniel Kaffe, a U.S Military Lawyer who has never seen the inside of a courtroom defends two marines charged with murdering a fellow marine at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba.
PFC Santiago, the victim was a screw up and screw ups are not tolerated in the army, he was given a “CODE RED” and lost his life in the process. High ranking Officer, Col. Nathan Jessup and two other Officers try to give all the help they can but something fishy is in the air.
The legal sets out to uncover the real perpetrators of this hazing ritual so justice can prevail. Turns out, the order came from way above the chain of command and they will do anything to keep the truth hidden.
A dramatic courtroom thriller
Directed by Rob Reiner
Starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Keifer Sutherland and others
Come and see acting. Jack Nicholson is a true thespian. You can’t watch this and not know the scene; when Col Jessup was pressed to say the truth on the stand and he lashed out and said you can’t handle the truth!
That scene was intense.
The kind of lawyer I wanted to be was what Tom Cruise portrayed here.
I totally and absolutely enjoyed this one
