So the most famous scene and quote are "you can't handle the truth" by jack nicholson. Lets face hit, he played that part to the T. Tom Cruise in his second movie as a naval officer. First in the Top Gun as a Naval Aviator and the navy all behind that. Even showed up to the theater to requite potential aviators. But this one the Navy didn't back up. Obviously a code red and murder trials are not something they want on their image.
Demi Moore I felt didn't get enough credit during her time. She played an excellent actor in this one. And playing a female naval officer wasn't easy. And how about her role. She wasn't taking her clothes off, she didn't even have a relationship with anybody. The writers didn't try to give that feeling like they were selling you on something. You either liked her character or you didn't. No stealing cheap emotions from people cause you want to be like "aww". I mean at one point they go "commander i want you to leave the room so we can talk about you" Tom Cruise and Kevin Bacon stole the show. Great after they played off each other, prosecutor and defense counsel. Probably what a lot of people don't realize was hard to do. Those two sold the whole "we have respect for each other" profession that some prosecutors have with other lawyers. No one could argue that kind of is not good for the people who go to trial. But hey, thats what makes the show great. You decide.
So about the movie and why its so great. Its court room drama. And I maybe a little bias since I love court room drama but its a lot of lines in her they make you want to know what else are they going to say. Some court movies make you want to skip to the ending.
I was in the navy for 6 years now Im in the guard. I joined the navy in 1998 so I can understand a few things that they are talking about. At the end of the day. There is a lot great acting here, I take off cause the people who were charged with a crime weren't convincing enough, and simply demi moore simply could have a better role. Plus I like this cause its based off true story.
