Hoezo in KINO

“Take caution in your tone, Commander. I’m a fair guy, but this fucking heat is making me absolutely crazy.” As Nicholson was preparing to shoot his big Sorkin-penned courtroom monologue, the rafters around the set quietly filled up with spectators consisting of cast and crew from surrounding film shoots, notified that Jack was about to turn up the heat with this one. Nicholson, a true fan of the craft, not only performed his own takes perfectly, but also stayed in full blast character for all the reaction shots so that Cruise, Moore and the others could feed off his barely contained rage. Now that’s generosity. His snarking, demeaning and arrogant Colonel Jessup is the crown jewel in one of the best courtroom dramas of the decade filled to the brim with exemplary additions to this now sadly neglected subgenre. English language with Dutch subtitles.
