Reviews for The General's Daughter
It's built on excesses and implausibilities and no matter how busy it gets, these weaknesses remain painfully obvious.

Travolta wins hands down with his accent in a pleasingly intense performance that helps propel the story along.

Despite moments of mounting suspense, the film suffers from stilted unevenness.

The General's Daughter is a blandly acted, dully written, gratuitously grisly, coincidence-filled potboiler that takes the obvious road whenever it has a choice.

Choppy, disjointed, and overlong!

Everyone in this picture takes himself or herself far too seriously as if to prove that if you don't crack a smile or burst into laughter at the silliness of the plot, you must be a darn good actor.

Good, quippy dialogue can't make up for a fundamentally flawed script, even with Simon West's well paced direction to keep things moving along.
