Extremely well done. Jason Clarke once again knocks it out of the park. Strong cast.

It was ok. It can be tough to watch plays that are turned into films.
I think this is Lance Reddick's last movie, but I'm not sure if he has any other posthumous releases coming out.

The original film was excellent. Why do I need to see a modern version?

Thanks for the heads up on it being on Showtime. Put it in my queue. I have more Paramount stuff in that watch list than Showtime when their deal went thru. Showtime TV series have really dropped off since the mid-2010's.

I vacillated on whether or not Kiefer Sutherland did a great job playing Queeg or a bad Bogart impression, but I settled squarely on the former by the end. Lance Reddick was well cast as he had such a presence about him. As you mentioned, Jason Clarke was stellar as well.
My only semi-criticism might be that, unlike the movie version with Fred McMurray, we really didn’t get much (if any) insight into the nature of Thomas Keefer until the final scene at the party. Yes, I realized Greenwald made the comments to Maryk after Keefer testified. Because of that, I don’t think the ending had the same level of impact as it did in the movie version.
To the poster who was worried because (gasp) “people of color and women are in it” - neither that or your alleged fear of it not being during war time are really proven out. They make the point that Queeg was pre-war career Navy. They sell the fact that the Caine is an active Navy ship with an important mission.
The only place it gets sorta dicey is the closing where Greenwald references joining “after 911” after earlier mentioning that Queeg had been in the Navy for 21 years, and the trial references events that take place in 2022. But again, that doesn’t change the impact of the story it only makes the timeline fuzzy.
