Tom Cruise refuses the charges of possession of condiments | A Few Good Men | CLIP 

Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?

The unspoken subtext is Kaffee was assigned this case because leadership saw him as undisciplined and lazy, taking the easy path and settling cases quickly. They wanted to bury this incident quickly to grease the tracks for the Major's next career move in DC.

"My client's a moron, that's not against the law". One of my favorite lines in the movie.

I love how Kevin Pollack's character keeps introducing himself to people as "Hi, I'm Sam. I have no responsibilities here whatsoever."

He was a pretty good lawyer, but he was a better pilot.

I don't care how unrealistic some of the courtroom scenes were, this is a great movie. Jack gets all the attention, but EVERYONE was at their best in this film.

Aaron Sorkin is probably the best writer of dialogue in contemporary drama. Any actor looks super smart and witty when fed Sorkin-written lines.

I love how the Captain tosses the pen to Kaffee. It's like he really is losing patience and wants to tee off on Kaffee, but he knows it would just go in one ear and out the other.

Some might think that Kaffee was assigned to this case because of Kaffee’s record for just going for plea bargains, therefore furthering the corrupt Colonial’s career. But that’s not exactly the case. The JAG Captain specifically said Kaffee was selected by the Division officer. This means LT Galloway selected Kaffee. She did this because she knew of Kaffee’s father’s reputation as an outstanding lawyer.

You can bet Aaron Sorkin didn’t just pick out words that were close enough. Shame the sub-titler didn’t follow his example.

Former Barracks Lawyer here. While he could in theory be charged under Article 112a of the UCMJ (Unauthorized possession of a controlled substance), it would be difficult to get a conviction if there weren’t any actual drugs involved. Instead, he’d probably be hit with Article 134 (Actions threatening the good order and discipline of the Armed Forces). That being said, this kind of thing is almost always handled at the unit command level with non-judicial punishment. JAGs wouldn’t get involved unless the service member indicates they’d like a court martial instead of an NJP.

the way Kaffee slaps Sam on the back after throwing the file in front of him is a VERY nice touch.

They do such a good job of setting up Kaffee's character:

I was a propmaker on this and watching them play this out was a sight!

One of Cruise's best movies

"A Few Good Condiments". Great movie... 👍

It's really more of a seasoning than a condiment.

A good example of how great casting can elevate a movie. It's just so much fun to see this group of actors bringing their A game.
