På heder och samvete

Nervkittlande film som med hjälp av eminenta skådespelare (Cruise, Nicholsen, Moore) och ett genomarbetat manus går väldigt långt.

En - 4 som film & i sin egen genre.

Tagline: In the heart of the nation's capital, in a courthouse of the U.S. government, one man will stop at nothing to keep his honor, and one will stop at nothing to find the truth.

Wow - vilken skådespelarenseble! Kan det bli så dåligt då? Nej, denna film har action/thriller/spänning så det räcker och blir över för en lång tid framöver. Ruggigt bra skådespelarprestationer från de flesta, men framförallt från huvudtrion på omslaget (Nicholson, Cruise, Moore). Hamnar, och detta skulle kunna vara enbart tack vare skådisinsatserna, självklart i DVD-samlingen min, likt någon säkerligen hamnar i fängelse när rättegången är över i filmen.

Trivia: Tom Cruise's Jack Nicholson impersonation (when his character is quoting Col. Jessup) was not scripted. / While filming the scene in which Kendrick (played by Kiefer Sutherland) is driving Kaffee's group around the base in a Humvee through two rows of marching soldiers, Sutherland had trouble driving the extra wide vehicle and actually hit soldiers on multiple takes. / Jack Nicholson repeated his famous courtroom monologue as Col. Jessep off-camera several times so Rob Reiner could film the reactions of other actors from various angles. Nicholson's memorable on-camera performance was filmed last, but according to Reiner and the other cast members, Nicholson gave it his all every take as if he was on camera. / A love scene between Demi Moore and Tom Cruise was planned but was not done because the movie didn't really call for it. / The word "sir" is used 164 times during the movie. That's an average of once every 50 seconds. / Writer Aaron Sorkin got the story idea from his sister, who in real life experienced a very similar incident at Guantanamo (OBS: svenskar, se hit!)from the "Lt. Galloway" perspective as a female military attorney. In that incident, the victim was similarly assaulted by nine soldiers and was badly injured, but did not die. Sorkin initially turned the idea into a play, and then this screenplay, which was his very first. / Linda Hamilton, 'Elizabeth Perkins' and Helen Hunt read for the part of Joanne Galloway. / The movie's line "You can't handle the truth!" was voted as the #29 movie quote by the American Film Institute (out of 100). / The movie's line "You can't handle the truth!" was voted as the #92 of "The 100 Greatest Movie Lines" by Premiere in 2007. / Ed O'Neill shot scenes for the movie as a marine giving courtroom testimony. These scenes were cut from the movie, however, when test audiences began to laugh when he came on screen. This laughter was influenced due to his being involved in one of the highest rated sitcoms at the time, _"Married... with Children" (1987)_ , in which he played a slovenly unloving patriarch of a lower middle class family. / The line: "You want me on that wall! You need me on that wall!" was originally written in the script as "...you want me on that wall. You need me there..." but was changed by either Jack Nicholson or Rob Reiner during production.

En bra rättegångfilm med underbara skådisar som Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore mfl, intressant historia, snyggt foto, grymt skådespeleri, grymma dialoger tex." You want the truth, You can't handle the truth"

amerikanskt kraffs men bra

Ganska seg o tråkig. Har inte så mycket att säga om den för det var länge sen jag såg den..

Mycket bra film där Tom Cruise passar in perfekt som den dryga uppkomlingen som advokat. Jack Nicholsson är lika perfekt han som den stränga millitären.

Bjuder inte på någonting utöver det vanliga. Enda behållningen är Nicholsons enorma kvalitet som skådis. Kan inte göra annat än att hålla med.
