2012 Comments--Good for 1997 Tech No reviews in a while, so here is mine:OK the plot is relevant to current events- imagine that!! Art imitates life. I could speed up a few spots, but c.g.I. was just coming out, I think.The movie started & ended well and that matters. Lead acting was pretty good. So raw. & not high-tech, & a snooze or two, but better than many mindless tales still being produced. If you like to see females in action and you like nuclear topics, you could enjoy it --why not?CIA meets Army rangers -- Females had balls!! just saying. Probably not for under 40-ish crowd with action-addiction.

You should know that direct-to-DVD movies about the military are going to be full of tired cliché's. This one put just about every single one I can think of in the mix.Kathleen York has an Oscar nomination for Crash, but it is for the music. Stick to that because we don't need another G.I. Jane. especially one that gets a Ranger badge just for being slapped a couple of times.Michael Biehn (Aliens, The Terminator) was her love interest and probably the best thing about this flick. At least he appeared to know something about being military.R. Lee Ermey (Full Metal Jacket) made an excellent slimy Senator, and I always enjoy Grace Zabriskie ("Big Love").I guess there is a good reason I have not seen anything before this that was directed by Stephen Milburn Anderson or written by Paul Sinor. It is not likely that I ever will except by accident.

I have a hard time giving this movie a 1 star (awful), simply because, I did not want to degrade all the other movies that are rated 1 star.I missed the beginning, but I assume, they went to a strip club, found 6 hot women, and gave them guns and tight uniforms, made them "Rangers" of all things and sent them to North Korea to destroy a nuke plant. This movie is predictable and annoying. Bad acting, lots of male ego, women crying on the battlefield, this movie just plain sucks.Personally, I have yet to see a worse movie.... I have seen diaper and paper towel commercials that had better plots and better character development than this gem.

I caught this movie on television on a Saturday afternoon and the thing that caught my eye was the "artistic license" taken on military details. While I know that movies require a certain suspension of disbelief, I was aghast by the aggregious inaccuracies in this movie. The movie depicts a squad of female Army Rangers on a covert mission inside of North Korea. While there is no such thing as female Rangers in the US Army, I would be able to overlook that little detail if it were not for the fact that they looked absolutely silly in a hodge-podge of military acoutrements that they were forced to wear. The costume person on this one should be ashamed of themselves. How much time, effort, or money does it take to research the basics of military uniform? From the Ranger tabs sewn onto their black berets, to their camoflauge t-shirts. I honestly thought this movie was a comedy at first. I was shocked to see Michael Biehn and R. Lee Ermey in this. You would think that both would have insisted on a certain degree of accuracy.
