Customer Reviews of The General's Daughter
Not a "Maj. Misstep" for Travolta in Gen. Daughter Travolta rarely picks a bad script so it was shocking to see him in the deliciously overwrought, delightfully insipid military thriller. <

>Johnny T. does carry this film though. He carries it to the edge of boredom and then tosses it off some sort of Looney Tunes cliff till it plummets at such a precipitous pace that upon impact it's liquefied. When I saw this in the theatre, it was playing next to the Matrix and I could hear the heavy metal music coming through the walls. Hearing that music was the highlight of seeing The General's Daughter. That, and I snuck in a whole bag of "fun size" peanut butter cups. I can only imagine when the usher went to my aisle and saw all the golden foil wrappers. <

>What must he have been thinking? "Oh snap! Another successful peanut butter cup smuggling. Don't filmgoers know that most theatres rely on their concessions stands to stay afloat? If there continues to be scofflaws it will most certainly mean the demise of the modern-day movie-going experience." <
> <
>That's my guess, at least.
Some Good, Some Bad And All Entertaining
This was an excellent drama marred only by a little too much profanity and the normal Hollywood obsession of portraying the United States military as corrupt. (I have a news flash for filmmakers: there are some honest men in the military....really!!!) Feminism in the armed forces is another "agenda" item in this film.

>There are many pluses, however, with this movie that should be noted. . The acting is excellent with a deep cast featuring John Travolta, James Cromwell, Madeline Stowe, Timothy Hutton, James Woods, Clarence Williams III, Leslie Stefanson and more.

>I loved the dialog between Travola and Woods. It reminded me of the film noir films of the 1940s. The general's daughter, Stephanson, is a bit hard-edged in here but it's understandable when you find out why she acts the way she does. The characters the actors are all interesting and the story hooks you in right away.

>The cinematography is great. This looks stunning on DVD. There are no lulls in this film and the action isn't overdone, either. Very entertaining.
The General's Daughter
A taut, well made thriller with a lot of nuance and details that make seeing it a second or third time equally enjoyable. Strong acting keeps one's attention to the flow of the story. The glimpse into military politics is also illuminating. And it's one of the best movie scores I've heard in a long time. It's nice to hear that blend of music anywhere these days.
