Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Guillermo del Toro, who served as a back-up director (due to insurance purposes), the late director William Friedkin was given 15 days to complete the shooting. He had finished shooting at the 14th day.
- GoofsOn several occasions, characters use the term "Officer of the Day" as a designation while the ship is at sea. This term is only used when a ship is in port. When underway at sea, the title would be "Officer of the DECK".
The only time "Officer of the Day" was used was after prosecutor Challee mis-heard QM3 Urban's mumble. Urban actually said Deck. She used the correct term next time it came up.
- Quotes
Challee: Sir, the witness is obviously and understandably agitated by this ordeal and I request a recess to give him a breathing space.
Lieutenant Commander Phillip Queeg: I'm not agitated in the least. I'm glad to answer any and all questions. In fact, I-I demand the opportunity to set the record straight for any derogatory statements made about me in testimony that's gone before. I didn't make a single mistake in the 15 months I was aboard the Caine, and I-I can prove it. I've had a spotless record up until now and I don't want it being discredited by these lies and distortions told by these disloyal officers.
Captain Luther Blakely: Commander, would you like a recess?
Lieutenant Commander Phillip Queeg: Certainly not. In fact, if I had any say in this, I would ask there be no recess.

This is a single setting courtroom court martial hearing that expands on the legal themes of the original from the fifties.
The original showed the various incidents of Queeg and then the trial. This is just the trial and aftermath.
Everything is a lot more fleshed out. Jason Clarke is great as the prosecutor and Keifer Sutherland does a passable Borgart homage.
I watched it as a companion piece to the original and would recommend doing it that way.
I always find the ending, where the solicitor speaks to the officers party a wonderful scene. Watch it for that at least.
