In response to political pressure from Senator Lillian DeHaven (Anne Bancroft), the U.S. Navy begins a program that would allow for the eventual integration of women into its services. The program begins with a single trial candidate, Lieutenant Jordan O'Neil (Demi Moore), who is chosen specifically for her femininity. O'Neil enters the grueling training program under the command of John James Urgayle (Viggo Mortensen), who unfairly pushes O'Neil until her determination wins his respect.

Critics Consensus

Demi Moore admirably does her duty, but G.I. Jane's well-intentioned message is obscured by stylistic bombast and an overload of jingoism.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

The training sequences... are good cinema because Ridley Scott, the director, brings a documentary attention to them, and because Demi Moore, having bitten off a great deal here, proves she can chew it.

Rated: 3.5/4

It ends up being an unfulfilling exercise in pseudo-feminism.

Demi Moore stands at attention and demands it in this solid flick.

G.I. Jane provides an entertaining couple of hours and represents a worthy timepiece.

According to former SEAL Rorke Denver, there are seven different types of Navy SEAL: 1) Smurf SEAL 2) Rough-upbringing SEAL 3) Brawler SEAL 4) Proto SEAL 5) Gamer SEAL 6) Ivy League SEAL 7) Legacy SEAL. Maybe Female SEAL will be the 8th type.

Unsure why this was scored so low. My missus kept saying how good it was and I put it off as reviews weren't great. Glad I listened to her. It was very good. Proper gritty army boot camp movie.

Filme legal, o roteiro é bacana, as cenas da demi moore no exército são boas e até melhoram o filme, mas o resto do filme não é tão interessante, o elenco é mais ou menos e quase não ajuda a melhorar o filme, com tudo isso, eu meio que recomendo o filme pelas cenas da demi moore no exército.

I loved this movie, maybe this movie was meant for tomboy teens, I'm shocked so many people dislike it. I'd watch it again!
