But the bookends of the G.I. Jane soundtrack are the interesting points. [4]
The enigmatic Command Master Chief John Urgayle (Viggo Mortensen) runs the brutal training program that involves 20-hour days of grueling physical tasks designed to wear down recruits’ physical and mental strength, running, marching, and crawling through obstacle courses under the worst weather conditions while carrying landing rafts - not to mention eating out of a garbage can during breaks. [1]
Demi Moore will never top any rational list of great actresses, but as her career stalled in the mid-1990s she had enough internal fire and external physicality to be just right for her title role in G.I. Jane. [3]
O’Neil faces sexism and physical challenges as well as the horse-trading by the Senator who selected her for the experimental program. [1]
There are also three intense instrumental rockers from Trevor Jones. [4]
