They did a decent job with staging the courtroom-only section of the great story of Capt. Queeg and his underlings. Everyone remembers the riveting Bogart performance, and here Kiefer Sutherland channels a good portion of that, balancing the levels of sympathy we feel for the character’s distress with unpleasant realizations of his evasiveness and willingness to lie to cover himself. You do feel for Queeg, and also for the lawyer who has to do his job in a way that disgusts him. The original story, set in WW2, has been updated to 2022 here, and there is some cast diversity that wasn’t there in the earlier film.
Overall, an entertaining watch, with the late great Lance Reddick commanding his scenes as always. So sad we’ve lost him.
