I had tried to avoid watching G.I Jane because I knew it was supposed to be a bad film. I finally watched it tonight on channel 4 and to be honest, I was right first time.

The film was cliched dull, over-dark (does all their training only ever take place at night?). And what's the deal with Libya having a south coast on the map? I half expected the soldiers to be wearing t-shirts which read 'I wish I was appearing in Full Metal Jacket instead'. Not a good film. The world deserved better from the director of Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma and Louise or Gladiator.
