Lieutenant Danial Kaffee (Tom Cruise), who is a lawyer known for out-of-court settlements, and Lieutenant-Commander JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore), who is an overly-conscientious naval investigator, are dispatched to Guantanamo Naval Air Station in Cuba to investigate the events surrounding the death of Private Santiago. During the course of their investigations, it becomes clear that the commanding officer of the unit, Colonel Nathan R. Jessep (Jack Nicholson) gave the order for the "code red", and is thus responsible for Private Santiago's death, rather than the two privates who are initially charged with the murder. Unfortunately, proving this in a court of law is another matter.
The sequence of events which unfolds is both dramatic, and a little unexpected (and won't be given away). The climactic courtroom scene is very well acted, with Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson keeping us guessing until the very end. Their interaction on screen is marvellous to watch.
Suffice it to say, that this is an excellent movie about the definition of honour which will keep you entertained and guessing throughout. The actors are well-cast and play their roles very well.
NOTE: To view non-R4 releases, your equipment needs to be multi-zone compatible and usually also NTSC compatible.
