The Big Picture One of the most legendary careers in Hollywood was capped off with a final film that, unfortunately, has slipped under the radar for many fans. William Friedkin, renowned for movies like The Exorcist and The French Connection, passed away in August 2023, but a few months later he gifted us one final film that was released on Showtime in October.

Release Date October 6, 2023 Director William Friedkin Cast Kiefer Sutherland , Jason Clarke , Jake Lacy , Monica Raymund , Lance Reddick Runtime 109 Minutes Main Genre Drama Where to watch Showtime 'The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial' Is a Lean, Incisive Legal Drama Friedkin adapts this film from writer Herman Wouk's play of the same name, which itself was adapted from Wouk's own novel, both released in the 1950s.

The simplicity of the camera movements, production design, and editing allow the strong cast and the pitch-perfect writing to soar. Reddick brings a poised air of authority and intimidation. Sutherland is perfectly tuned to this wavelength of a stubborn, oddball old guard guy who you can't quite figure out.

The movie is a tight, thrilling example of the power of letting great actors work with a solid script, and that being enough to make a project worth watching. Clarke's performance in that final scene alone makes it worth a watch. And it speaks to Friedkin's directorial talent that he knew the exact approach a movie like this needs to work.
