At the start of a naval court-martial, Barney Greenwald (Jason Clarke), a skeptical naval lawyer, reluctantly agrees to defend Lt. Steve Maryk (Jake Lacy), a first officer of the Navy who took control of the U.S.S. CAINE from its domineering captain Lt. Philip Francis Queeg (Kiefer Sutherland) during a violent sea storm in unfriendly waters. As the trial progresses, Greenwald becomes increasingly concerned and questions if the events aboard the Caine were a true mutiny or simply the courageous acts of a group of sailors who did not trust their unstable leader.

Critics Consensus

The final film from a master of the medium, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial serves as a gripping reminder that a single setting, a solid cast, and some sharply written dialogue is sometimes all you need.

While The Caine Mutiny is a showcase for its actors, it doesn’t put much else on display.

3/4

It makes for a classic courtroom thriller, and comes with a zinger at the end.

Taking a cue from the ’54 version, Friedkin films it simple, with long close-ups and stoic, pitying reaction shots. He knows when to leave something alone and let Sutherland take the wheel. He recognizes great acting when he sees it.

7.5/10

The success of a rock-solid narrative carried out by a host of high-performing actors coupled with a simplistic set and production design reminds audiences that there are wonderful films out there that don’t rely on massive budgets.
