Summary: Ho-hum, implausible
Review: I haven't read the book, but I think the movie has a rather weak story. As the murder mystery unfolds, the plot seemed more of contrivance and lurid sensationalism than an actually clever answer. Also, the movie is clumsily (to the point of being irritatingly obvious) put together, putting in cliches and stock devices to substitute for real ingenuity.
Travolta's charisma keeps you watching. But, I got the constant feeling that he's trying damn hard to carry this film by himself. Everybody else doesn't seem to have much else to work with or do in this movie.
It has its moments, particularly the first confrontation between Woods/Travolta which is quite tasty. It won't bore you, and you'll probably want to watch it through. But, aftewards, you'll be like, ehhh. . . .

Summary: Excellent Movie....Keeps you guessing!
Review: The General's Daughter is one of the best movies I have seen in a while. It is a look into how the military thinks.....just keep it in the family....we can take care of our own. The soundtrack is amazing, and the suspense is chilling. The ending was surprising, and not at all predictable. Highly Recommended!

Summary: Excellent Murder Mystery
Review: This was an incredible movie (with fabulous music also) that kept you interested every single second. John Travolta (I love him!) did a great job and James Woods played such a believable character-it was scary. The intriguing plot kept you guessing up until the very ending. I would suggest this to anybody who loves suspensful, murder mysteries and John Travolta! :)

Summary: Not bad.
Review: I didn't think that I would care much for this film before I had viewed it, but it turned out to be a pretty good movie. I thought that John Travolta did a good job in his role along with the rest of the cast. The film was extreme in places. The plot was quite interesting and the movie turned out to be worth a viewing.

Summary: One of the worst movies ever
Review: If I could give this movie a negative star I would. The dialogue was absolutely cheesy; it was a murder investigation movie I don't know why they tried to make a connection with women in the military. There's nothing wrong with a movie having a message regarding women in the military but it was poorly executed and obviously forced.

Summary: This is a dramatic movie.
Review: I liked it a lot. The movie made you mad at the injustice of it all. It was well acted. I love Madeleine Stowe. John Travolta was good as always. It is a thriller with a message.

Summary: General's Daughter Falls Flat
Review: "I want the truth!" yells Tom Cruise. Jack Nicholson, with his calm demeanor says nonchalantly, "You can't handle the truth." That moment will live in our pop culture for years to come. It is what good writing is all about. In the pivotal moment of this movie, the big bad general's assistant tells Travolta, "You'd better start thinking about your career." Travolta, with eyes bulging and veins throbbing in his neck, through gritted teeth, delivers that magic line for the whole movie, "You'd better start thiking about yours!" And everyone watching says, "Huh? Did I miss something?" Why not just do his best Pee Wee Herman and say, "I know you are, but what am I?" If you think that line is lackluster, then watch the rest of the movie. After setting the stage for a decent conspiracy, it continually lets the viewer down, leading up to a dull climax and a cliche ending.Not to say it is without bright spots. James Cromwell always shines and here it is no different. He is the general, grieving over his daughter, yet giving off the impression that maybe he is hiding something. Even brighter is James Woods. Playing a military shrink with an attitude, he comes off as brass, pompous, challenging, and--believe it or not--likeable. If the rest of this movie were any better, the Academy just might think supporting actor nod, but, alas, his bright performance is dulled by the rest of this flop. Travolta is subpar, and Stowe is as flat as she's ever been, which is plains-of- Kansas-kind-of flat. The plot itself, as I have said is set up decent enough. The general's daughter, herself an outstanding soldier, is found killed, bound and gagged on base. Rape and murder, or a tangled web of conspiracy that could possibly indict the big kahunas? I'll leave it to you to guess which one. The plot unfolds itself, dug up by Travolta and Stowe's two dimensonal characters, who have some sort of love/hate tension thing going which never gets fully developed (which is alright because no one gives a damn about either of them anyway). During two plus hours of tediousness, the two overturn clues, bend the rules (certainly a requirement of all detectives nowadays, isn't it?), and play hardball in an effort to solve the murder. And then finally, the veiwer gets some respite as they roll the credits. If you're looking for your average run-of-the-mill, carbon-copy, conspiracy murder mystery, then this is your movie. However, if you'd like a bit of thought and originality, then you might want to pass it up on the rental shelves. My verdict: Travolta had better start thinking about his career
