Critical Response

I believe that Roger Ebert is trying to protect the system. However it is a film, and I don't believe that a "red code" really existed. The film shows that some military men (in high ranks) think diferrently. Roger Ebert gave also a very bad critic for the film "Dead poets society", for the same reason.

Roger Ebert is a reputable critic and a reliable source. Personal opinion of his review, is irrelevant to this encyclopedia article. The content of his review is represented accurately and it has not been given undue emphasis. It is not clear what changes you think should be made to improve the article, for example adding comments from a different critic to give balance to the Critical response section, or perhaps making specific edits to the currently wording. Please go ahead and make a specific suggestion if you can think of specific changes to improve this article. -- 109.76.202.168 (talk) 22:42, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Roger Ebert is trying to protect the system."

What are you talking about? What system? 2A0A:EF40:425:D901:B31B:5034:54A:3AEE (talk) 15:47, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Kaffee and Ross exchange kudos before Ross departs to arrest Kendrick."

Kaffee and Ross exchange kudos before Ross departs to arrest Kendrick.

They exchange pleasantries which tacitly acknowledge (possibly grudging) mutual respect. But this is gobbledygook - it is simply not possible to exchange kudos. 95.123.54.66 (talk) 22:47, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph 5, Line 4 in the "Inspiration" section: Change "The attorney who defended Col. Adams" to "The attorney who defended Cox." The source cited in Footnote 9 supports this revision. The current statement defies logic. Col. Adams (the real-life counterpart of Col. Jessep in the movie (Jack Nicholson)) was essentially the enemy of attorney Donald Marcari (the real-life counterpart of Lieutenant Kaffee in the movie (Tom Cruise)). Marcari's goal was to absolve his client, Cox, of responsibility by blaming his actions on Col Adams' implied order. Marcari would not try to shift the blame to Col. Adams if Col. Adams was his client. 2601:155:8401:9820:542D:8E82:F068:ACF5 (talk) 23:37, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This Bollywood movie is directly plagiarized from Hollywood’s “A Few Good Men” and NOT loosely based on that movie. Hence it is important that this be mentioned unless the author is able to produce a license. Else it is copyright infringement and Wikipedia is allowing a criminal activity to continue. DeeSund (talk) 02:44, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean – I can't see anything in the article talking about a Bollywood movie. Tollens (talk) 07:40, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

conflicting descriptions of where the film premiered?

In the intro block it says the film premiered in westwood, but down in the release section near the bottom it says it premiered at the odeon theater in england. Perhaps someone should figure out which is correct. I'm far too lazy to do so. 2A00:79E1:ABC:133:71BA:6635:3E1B:888D (talk) 01:06, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should Columbia be put down as a production company?

Unlike most Castle Rock films released by Columbia Pictures, Columbia has a presenter credit which makes me think they co-produced the film, not only they have a presenter credit but they distributed it worldwide and they still have control of the film, same with In the Line of Fire I googled if Columbia co-produced the film because I wouldn't want to put personal assessments down. Google gave me an AI-generated answer which I can't fully trust but they gave me links to three articles, The New York Times wouldn't let me read the page and The Los Angeles Times says that they financed the film, should financing studios be listed as production companies? because some films such as Zodiac only have Paramount and Warner listed as distributors but not production companies however I found pages that say the financed the film.
