— — REVIEWS Navy's elite Seals. Scenes of her training climb the ropes, crawl the ground—are just what audiences might expect, if higher than usual on the machismo level; so is the reaction of her male mates, as evidenced by her tough boot-camp commandant (Viggo Mortensen). Yet it's not till the narrative takes an odd byway—the unstoppable O'Neil suddenly folds when phony charges of fraternization with non-elisted women (i.e., lesbian activity) arise, and the senator's supposedly true nature is revealed—that "G.I. Jane" becomes just plain bad; both the senator's and O'Neil's decisions come out of nowhere. Fortunately, the narrative resuscitates when O'Neil goes on her first mission in a finale that would have been even more rousing had it been more believable (the body counts on the two warring sides is hardly balanced, with the "bad" guys—Arabs, of course—apparently unable to shoot straight even at close range). Still, what gives this Caravan/Scott Free/Moving Pictures production its power for contemporary audiences is its straight-from-the-headlines attentions to the question of women in the military, and on this Scott & co. are right on target. Kim Williamson DEF JAM'S HOW TO BE A PLAYER ^^1/2 Starring Bill Bellamy, Natalie Desselle, Mari Morrow and Pierre. Directed by Lionel C. Martin. Written by Mark Brown and Deetria Johnson. Produced by Mark Burg, Todd Baker, Russell Simmons, Preston Holmes and Stan Lathan. A Gramercy release. Comedy. RatedRfor strong sexual content and language. In a time in which monogamy is used as a spelling bee word, "Def Jam's How to Be a Player" isn't going to have a lot of people openly praising the movie in mixed company. A person just saying he liked it could be enough to spark agitated discussions: The title refers to someone who has one main mate and yet intimately sociaUzes with several others; a Player knows when to say the right things and when to bluff. For date-night moviegoers, one of the film's target demos, the best strategy might be to cheer for the same gender as one's companion. Sensitized because she was dropped like a bad habit by her boyfriend, Jenny ("B.A.P.S."' Natalie Desselle) targets her brother Dray (Bill Bellamy, best known from cable's "MTV Jams"), who she feels is a womanizer who treats his women like whores. She concocts a scheme to put a kink in his game(plan). With the help of her friend Katrina ("Virtuosity's" Man Morrow), she cracks his organizer's access code and proceeds to invite Dray's multiracial collection of femmes to the same party, with the aim of creating a hostile environment that will make this Player repent and be reborn. Ballamy plays Dray in a way that isn't likely to seem overly offensive, thanks to knowing nods to the audience. A supporting cast humorously blend in their characters to make the tale's multiple scenarios flow.
