Editorial Review:

Product Description:
DEMI MOORE STARS AS GUTSY LT. O'NEIL, THE FIRST WOMAN TO ENDURE THE BRUTAL TARINING OF THE ELITE NAVY SEALS. NO ONE WANTS TO SEE HER SUCCEED, INCLUDING POWERFUL POLITICIANS, TOP MILITARY BRASS OR HER MALE NAVY SEAL TEAMMATES. BUT, A DETERMINED LT. O'NEIL HANGS TOUGH WITH THE BEST OF THE BEST.

Amazon.com:
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

G. I. Jane DVD - not the whole package 3 out of 5 stars
I just bought this DVD, as I am gradually replacing my laser disc collection. I was disappointed to find that it didn't have all of the material on my laser disc, which included director commentary from Ridley Scott and deleted scenes. Guess I'll keep the LD and hope Scott's work gets a more complete treatment later. I just looked at the Blu-Ray listing and it seems to be similarly short-changed.
I really like this movie. Though not a fan of Moore, I almost always enjoy Ridley Scott. I think ... Read More
