Drama War

Barney Greenwald, a skeptical lawyer, reluctantly defends an officer of the navy who took control of the Caine from its captain, Lt. Philip Francis Queeg, while caught in a violent sea storm. As the court-martial proceeds, however, Greenwald increasingly questions if it was truly a mutiny or rather the courageous acts of a group of sailors who could not trust their unstable leader.

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/the-caine-mutiny-court-martial-venice-film-festival-review-a-satisfying-farewell-to-william-friedkin/

"The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial might not be the greatest farewell for William Friedkin, but the one-location court session is one of the purest forms of cinema, boasting satisfying levels of tension as well as quick, intense dialogue elevated by exceptional performances from the entire cast, namely Kiefer Sutherland.

A viewing that flies by, despite the repetitive, predictably ambiguous structure that doesn't always fit into the study of the dichotomy between "good" and "evil". Still, it remains captivating from start to finish."

A master filmmaker makes his last film a riveting watch filled with great performances. Lance Reddick does more with his eyes than most actors can with their whole body.

I hate the poster though. Keifer's earrings are too big.
