Good

Rating: 5/10 (18 December 2004)

Thought this film was quite good... seen that Ridley Scott directed it and thought: Hey it must be good... Also noticed that Viggo was in it and played quite a mental character and knew that my mother-in-law loved him, so we agreed to go 'halfers' and just bought it (without even seeing a trailer).
It's a pretty gritty story, revolving around the massive question of womens place in the military: what should they do, what shouldn't they do??? I assume this is a very real part of many peoples lives. As a film though, I quite enjoyed it. Moore was good in it. I doubted her ability (I admit) but after watching this, and the extras which describe all the training and hard work that went into it, I have a much larger respect for Demi Moore.
Viggo's character is great as well, the fight scene with Moore, for me, highlights what the whole film is about: At what point would a male soldier give in... if one of his female colleagues is being physically and sexually abused in front of them??? Pretty grim.
5/10 for me.....
