| For many, G.I. Jane is memorable but for only the buzzed-to-the-scalp haircut sported by Demi Moore for the second half of the movie. That's a shame, because this woman-against-the-odd-themed drama has a lot going for it, including excellent performances from close-cropped-Moore and jarhead Viggo Mortensen as her ball-busting C.O.
Moore plays Lt. Jordan O'Neil, a naval officer who wants to train with the very best for a prestigious (and rather dangerous) position on a special ops Navel Seal team (the Combine Reconnaissance Team.) She's given the chance by a female senator, and thus becomes the first woman to ever train as a potential CRT. The training, however, is Hell on Earth, and with the added baggage of being a woman strapped to her back, every hill she has to climb, miles she has to run and one-handed push-up she has to perform is made that much more difficult.
Often exciting and energizing, G.I. Jane may be pure Hollywood filmmaking at its most predictable, but it delves into some nifty gray areas involving sexism. Is it always true that a woman is equal to a man? This movie crafts several situati9ons which may give pause to even the most avid feminist.
