Review of The General's Daughter (1999) by Steven1981 — 30 Mar 2020

Not a bad film but it would of been rubbish without the performances of two of the best actors in the world, James Woods and John Travolta are the bosses in this movie and their meetings and confrontations create the suspense in The General's Daughter.

. As the film says it's about a general's daughter and it's just that lol. Some female in the army or something gets murdered, possibly raped and left naked on display, pegged down to die and John Travolta and Madeleine Stowe investigate.

John Travolta's character is tough, smart and he takes no crap and Travolta is one of the best at playing these roles because he's nuts and a great actor so nobody else pulls this kind of character off as good as Travolta because he's so gifted at playing scenes where he's had enough and does things his way or loses his temper.

He interrogates James Woods and arrests him, later he's released from jail then Travolta tracks him down to his home only to find a cat at the window and bloodmarks on the window then Travolta bursts in with his gun and finds James Woods on the sofa with a bullet in his head due to suicide, blood everywhere.

Great film that's saved by excellent performances especially by Woods and Travolta and I personally think this is one of the best Travolta films along with Domestic Disturbance...Contains scenes of nudity, possible rape scenes, violence, bad language.

..... The General's Daughter was made in 1999 by director Simon West.
