Demi Moore (DISCLOSURE, INDECENT PROPOSAL) is in top form in this action-packed hit! Moore stars as gutsy Lieutenant O'Neil, the first woman ever given the opportunity to earn a place in the armed forces most highly skilled combat unit -- the elite Navy SEALS! But the already brutal rigors of training camp turn into an unimaginable test of courage and determination once it becomes clear that no one -- powerful politicians, top military brass, or her male Navy SEAL teammates -- wants her to succeed! A critically acclaimed triumph directed by action hitmaker Ridley Scott (ALIEN, THELMA & LOUISE) -- you'll cheer for G.I. JANE as this brave soldier proves she belongs among the best of the best!
It seemed like a pretty good career move, and for the most part it was. Demi Moore will never top any rational list of great actresses, but as her career stalled in the mid-1990s she had enough internal fire and external physicality to be just right for her title role in G.I. Jane. Her character's name isn't Jane--it's Jordan O'Neil--but the fact that she lacks a penis makes her an immediate standout in her elite training squad of Navy SEALs. She's been recruited as the first female SEAL trainee through a series of backroom political maneuvers, and must prove her military staying power against formidable odds--not the least of which is the abuse of a tyrannical master chief (Viggo Mortensen) who puts her through hell to improve her chances of success. Within the limitations of a glossy star vehicle, director Ridley Scott manages to incorporate the women-in-military issue with considerable impact, and Moore--along with her conspicuous breast enhancements and that memorable head-shaving scene--jumps into the role with everything she's got. Not a great movie by any means, but definitely a rousing crowd pleaser, and it's worth watching just to hear Demi shout the words "Suck my ----!!" (rhymes with "chick"). --Jeff Shannon

Lame movie:
The lamest movie ever. The whole movie is fake, of course. Aside from its anti-military MAN message, it's a catastrophe. What's all with the grey, filtered and dark scenes? It was like every scene was strangling me. Dark, grey, color-less and boring. The final scenes were horrible. First of all, the US Navy does not operate Eurocopter Super Puma helicopters (shown being used to rescue the stranded SEAL team) and it also does not operate AH-1 single engine Cobra attack helicopters. It never did. US Army for... more info
Waste of time:
Why anyone would want to waste time and money seeing this movie is beyond me. Demi Moore, even to the most generous critic, has limited talent as an actress, and the movie stinks! I have no objection to a woman wanting to serve in a commando unit, but the plot line is laughable, unless you want to see how well Demi Moore fills out her tightly fitted t-shirt. And how any woman in the military managed to get such tight-fitting outfits is interesting, did she have a custom tailor? The business about seeing her... more info

Demi's Ultimate performance:
If you follow Demi Moore, this is a must. She outdoes herself in the personification of O'neal, plus she's a real beauty and shows the best condition ever! Two thumbs up!!!
