Reviews for The General's Daughter
Do the filmmakers think we're morons? We're certainly treated as such, right from the beginning.
Compelling viewing because of the tight-lipped, bull-headed performance by John Travolta in a starring role.
Effective enough as a thriller and an indictment of sexism in its most brutal form.
an absurd, frequently offensive exploitation piece that's likely to take a place on many Ten Worst of 1999 lists.
No doubt about it, to divulge the plot would spoil the experience -- you'll be shocked to discover, and maybe even surprised to learn, just how lame the damn thing really is.
You know that thin line between disturbing and morbid? The General's Daughter tramples it into dust.
Despite moments of mounting suspense, the film suffers from stilted unevenness.
