Review of The General's Daughter (1999) by Mohanraj N — 25 Jan 2010
The General's Daughter is a 1999 film starring John Travolta. The plot concerns the mysterious death of the daughter of a prominent general, reportedly based on a true story. When a general's daughter, an army captain in psychological operations, is found murdered, two warrant officers are brought in to investigate.
The young woman was staked down with tent poles, strangled, and presumably raped. But what the investigators find is even more bizarre, relating back to her days at West Point and involving the general himself and his aide.
The daughter's one confidant also ends up as an apparent suicide and is assumed to be the culprit. Cover-ups and sexual scandals rampage throughout the film.
