The look of shock on Tom Cruise's face when Nicholson flagrantly and without one speck of remorse admits freely to giving the Code Red. This is one of the most intense scenes in motion picture history. Cruise's character knew that if he kept needling Nicholson, his colossal ego would fly into a rage and cause him to drop his guard. But I don't think Tom expected Jack was going to admit a full confession on the stand. This scene was the perfect storm as far as script, acting, directing, editing and photography.

from imdb: Jack Nicholson repeated his famous courtroom monologue as Colonel Jessep off-camera several times so Rob Reiner could film the reactions of other actors and actresses 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. Nicholson said he was "quite spent" by the time he finished.

One thing I never seem to notice anyone mention is how Nicholson manages to portray the initial feeling of a cocky General who thinks he’s gotten away with murder, but as Cruise starts to poke holes in his testimony, he begins to lose his demeanor. His eyes dart away and to the side as he’s asked to produce an answer. His condiment demeanor begins cracking even before the climax of the scene. It’s subtle, and the kind of thing that you might not notice that first time around, but it sells the big moment: the moment where the General finally breaks, and loses his cool. All the build up, the risk, the gamble, all so you could see an explosion of a character that would fit in a detective noir. Masterful work by all on display.

Only watched it becaus of GF insisted (I am sure there are guys out there who have been in that situation-HAPPY WIFE HAPPY LIFE) for married guys). Nicholson has lasted the test of time, a great actor much like Clint Eastwood.

Actually I don't think anyone has to admit it. This scene never sat well with me. He sets him up too easily in my opinion. A man as smart as Jessop could easily have said that while he trusted his men would obey his order not to harm Santiago the reason he was being transferred is because his attitude was having a negative impact on the other men and he didn't consider him GITMO material but rather more suited to an administrative role elsewhere. Simple!

How many times in 30 years have I watched this? Never gets old, never loses its power. Can’t see through the performances, now matter how closely I zero in. Nicholson’s slow rise from calm and cool to simmer, and finally to explosion is magnificent. This is the greatest courtroom climax ever. In 1992, while I certainly supported the acting Oscar (though I felt they fell one supporting statue short), I did not think this deserved a Best Picture nomination. I’ve since changed my mind.

If he didn't show a second's regret he would be a robot, as much an unfeeling machine as everyone likes to paint the Nicholson character. Bacon's performance and the writing of his part are good precisely because he DOES have that moment's regret. He just is able to put that aside and do his duty--as Nicholson cannot do, because he and his job are too closely grafted together.

Love this scene. The power of the way it's delivered by Nicholson. The truth in the words he spoke. The prevailing truth as well though, in his arrest at the end. His character, like many real characters, doesn't understand the power of his position. He's trapped in the importance of what he does, so much, that he begins to believe, it's all that matters. Above all else. The genius of the writing in the scene is perfectly cemented by his feigned shock that he's being charged with a crime. Even though he knows he committed one. He truly believes it should be overlooked in the interests of his goal. Will always be a masterpiece of filmmaking.

Such kind of psychological training and pressure should be applied for soldiers who happened to be at army involuntarily to bring them up to speed about how things on war actually are, but not for the supposed motivated professionals, where best of the best are selected during peace time.

As if everyone doesn't know how amazing this scene is I'll take it one level higher. Jack did this entire scene straight through on the 1st try as you see it in the movie the movie he also did a second cut which was exactly the same as the 1st and they wrapped.

I saw a clip of actor Kevin Pollak who said between takes Nicholson looked all rumpled and sagging as if he just got off a weekend bender and then when the director called action, Nicholson sprang up, assumed an alert and military bearing, smoothly slipped into character and flawlessly delivered his performance.

Parts of it are actually Kevin Pollak doing his Jack Nicholson impersonation. They wanted to reshoot the scene for different camera angles and Nicholson wasn’t available later on so Kevin Pollack voiced over certain parts of the speech and they dubbed it in. It’s a Hollywood rumor but Kevin Pollack himself says it’s true…but he might be trolling everyone just to brag up his perfect Jack Nicholson impersonation!!

I love the colonel acting, it shows how people who spent their life in the army can have a vastly different logical thinking. He is 100% convinced that what he did was right and has no shame of admitting it. Edit: I understand that marines are different than the army in the US, but I was making a broader point where pretty much all soldiers have an experience which gives them another prospective and a different logical thinking than someone who never had to participate in conflict.
