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.

Combined with Oppenheimer this proves that Jason Clarke is at his best in the courtroom with many dialogue heavy scenes that he performs with grace and skill. Monica Raymond holds her own in these scenes and when you need someone to command the room, the late great Lance Reddick is a perfect choice.
William Friedkin's direction lets the dense and superbly written dialogue do all the heavy lifting to the extent a simple extreme close up feels like a huge dramatic moment. Even though this is all very theatrical, the performances are handled in a way that's better suited to the medium it's in so they're all loud and grand without being over the top.
