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.

This movie honestly blew me away. I've been in the military over 20 years and see tons of films about military life and the United States Navy, and many are off… by a long shot. So this is not to say that there are tons of insane people walking around wearing uniforms and commanding warships, but it is to say that there is a human factor involved in absolutely everything that happens. I found that the film was very well written and extremely well acted, and even though it was in a courtroom setting, it very much felt intense and psychologically escalating. Occasionally I've heard about the Caine Mutiny, but have never actually seen anything regarding it, so I walked into this blind. There are some twists and turns, but they are well executed and I very much felt that they explored every facet that you would want them to. That is to say that the film did not feel at the end like it came from Hollywood. It almost felt as if it was something that I have seen before; on an escalated level, that was quite realistic, in the ways that mattered. If you're wanting a movie that captures real people and extraordinary circumstances, then this is a great watch. After viewing it, I really hoped that the movie would have gotten more press, given the writing and performances, especially Sutherland, but hopefully anyone seeing this will go ahead tune in and pass their own judgement.

It is of course repeating beats from previous adaptations, but it does them so well that hardly matters.

this is exactly what inspires a guy with a camera who wants to become a filmmaker. this movie shows how dialogue plays such an important role & you don't need Hollywood budget sets to make a film. The actors were amazing

Engrossing and not overlong. Most of all great acting all round especially a stunning performance by Keiffer Sutherland.

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

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

Rated: 3/4

Rolling Stone

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.

Espinof

The position of the camera compensates for the limited movements, always observing the characters from an angle that may change during interrogations that we can only watch while clenching our fists. [Full review in Spanish]

The Film Stage

Remarkably bold in its formal and aesthetic approach, the courtroom drama is practically Bressonian in its minimalism and removal from conventional cinematic attributes.
