In 1997, before Cougars and LOTR, back when Demi and Bruce were still together and before Ridley Scott discovered Russell Crowe, there was GI Jane.
Sadly, this is the thing most people remember about this movie...
Yes, Demi pulled a Sinead and shaved her head. Moving on...
Take another look... First of all, it's great for the guys and gals alike. Produced by ScottFree (that's Ridley & Tony Scott to you) means quality production with decent action and effects.
As for the ladies, how does Viggo Mortensen in fatigues sound? How about a woman beating the odds and surpassing her male classmates on sheer guts?
No? Need more? Supporting cast includes Jim Caviezel, John Michael Higgins, David Vadim…
Forget personal trainers and calorie counting; one screening of this has me off my couch and getting fit every time! Plus I love the action and watching Jordan shit all over a bunch of misogynist expectations and getting up in the face of the politicians using her.
This chick's got game.
