RE: G.I. Jane

Rating: Null/10 (26 February 2003)

When this movie first came out, I was semi-interested in it, not enough to go and see it in the theatre, as this is not the kind of movie that I am usually a fan of. When it was aired on TV, I decided I would give it a try, and I have to say that for the most part, it was quite an enjoyable movie. The most appealing part of this movie, I have to say, was without a doubt, Viggo Mortensen. I have seen him in several movies, and he never fails to steal every scene he is in. He has a magnetic, enigmatic presence on screen. The fight scene between himself and Demi Moore, I have to say, was really well-done, and I do have to say, that although I am a HUGE fan of Viggo, he deserved that. Demi Moore was also pretty good in this movie. I am not really a fan of Demi, but I do have to say it is incredibley refreshing to see a movie with a woman who can prove that she is strong and capable, without resorting the typical cliched lines that the 'tough' women always use in most movies, which I find absolutely repulsive and nauseating.
