Critic Reviews

  • Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com

    A rabid piece of militaristic pulp with a crucial and commercially shrewd difference: The hero, the soft clay to be molded into a steely instrument of death, is a woman.

  • James Plath, Movie Metropolis

    A better movie than I expected, with decent performances. If only the script were a little more original, and the characters less familiar.

  • Christopher Smith, Bangor Daily News (Maine)

    From 1997, a movie that explores whether a woman has the grit, the strength and the nerve to survive Navy SEAL training, with a bald Demi Moore sweating, swearing, smoking cigars and fighting in head-to-head combat to prove that she can.

  • Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com

    Unrealistic execution of an intriguing idea - a woman in the Navy SEALS. Moore is intimidating - and built! Viggo Mortensen gives an excellent early performance.

  • James O'Ehley, Movie Gurus

    The problem isn't that Ridley Scott is the Leni Riefenstahl of the U.S. military industrial complex, but that the man has no politics at all . . .

    G.I Jane is an pretty interesting film to watch. Directed by Ridley Scott, G.I Jane tells the fictional story of the recruitment and training of the first woman Navy Seals. I don't understand why this film has gotten so many bad reviews. Granted it's not the best Ridley… More

    Awesome perfomance by Demi Moore.

    "Suck my dick!" Ridley Scott has made several films that are on my top list of all-time movies ('Gladiator', 'Alien'...) and consider him to be one of the most talented directors "on the market". I remember when this film came out and there was… More

    It?s only just over 10 years old and already its dated really badly! Viggo Mortensen & Anne Bancroft do a good job though!
