Brilliant courtroom drama, with a hugely talented cast.

Despite all the other big names and amazing performances, Tom Cruise was the obvious standout. There’s a lot of growth and nuance in Lt Kaffee, something Cruise’s other roles often skip over in favour of rugged action, and he does a damn good job of it.

The plot is very well woven: it feels like the pieces are gradually falling into place, but naturally so not just by cinematographic dictum. The horror-esque soundtrack works really well, too.
