Release Year: 1997 Rating: R Duration: 124 minutes Other Title: A Matter of Honor, A Matter of Honor, Undisclosed, Navy Cross Director: Ridley Scott Producer: Ridley Scott, Demi Moore, Roger Birnbaum
She's not a GI her name isn't Jane, and this puffed-up tale of the first woman Navy Seal can't get out of its own way. With Demi Moore, Viggo Mortensen, Anne Bancroft. Written by Danielle Alexandra. Directed by Ridley Scott.
Demi Moore's struggle to give a star making performance has finally paid off with 'G.I. Jane'. Moore gives an incredibly strong performance filled with dedication to her craft thanks largely in part to the guidance of experienced veteran director Ridley Scott. Scott, whose films include 'Alien', 'Blade Runner' and 'Thelma and Louise' has crafted a film with some of the most intense basic training ever seen in a motion picture. Stanley Kubrick's 'Full Metal Jacket' from 1987 featured an incredibly harsh treatment of raw recruits being inducted into the U.S. Marines but that film is tame in comparison to this.
