This one was bound to raise many Red Flags in a lot of Quarters. It is a Movie with a target on its back daring you to shoot. Taking a "Women in Combat" controversy, although it seems less so Today", and shoving it in your Face like a Drill Sergeant daring you to speak out.
This Movie is a Noble effort, but it may have aimed a bit too high. The concept here, (just give us an equal chance to be equal) would have been more realistic if Ridley Scott and Writer David Twohy had not chosen the prestigious Navy Seals with its famous dropout rate, and the Elite of the Elite status, as a Battleground for Politics.
That takes it to a level of arguable absurdity. It would have been more believable and may have quieted the Nay-Sayers somewhat, if it was simply the U.S. Marines or any other simply difficult and grueling group of the Military's Might.
But given that Melodramatic Fiction (see below), this can be inspirational and Entertaining in a Hollywood Underdog Story that it does so well. It is one of Demi Moore's best efforts.
THIS IS FROM NAVY.COM......by law there are two communities that women are not allowed to join: the Navy SEAL and Navy SWCC communities.
