The General's Daughter

ThrillerMysteryCrime

Directed by Simon West

When the body of Army Capt. Elisabeth Campbell is found on a Georgia military base, two investigators, Warrant Officers Paul Brenner and Sara Sunhill, are ordered to solve her murder. What they uncover is anything but clear-cut. Unseemly details emerge about Campbell's life, leading to allegations of a possible military coverup of her death and the involvement of her father, Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell. From TMDB

    In 1999 I was 17 and went to see "The General's Daughter", a movie so technically bad on every level and ALSO offensive that it is probably the single piece of art most responsible for me having a pessimistic side to my personality.

    Nancy Mace has really lost her mental faculties and every time I see what new crazy she's pulling I automatically think of the movie the General's Daughter. She's not OK.

    I'm off today and am lightly baked. I decided to watch a movie and stumbled on The General's Daughter. I haven't seen it in a while but remember it being solid. As I've been watching, James Woods entered the scene. It kills me that he's MAGA because he's a brilliant actor. Same with Jim Caviezel. 😢🤬

    Love this version. Also well worth tracking it down from The General's Daughter soundtrack by Carter Burwell. Amazing soundtrack altogether but I'd avoid the movie.

    Nelson DeMille had his protagonist watching the film of The General's Daughter, which was disappointing.

    Not the strongest mystery-drama-thriller but serviceable if not also pretty heavy in a few scenes dealing with a woman's brutal sexual assault. Travolta gives a fine performance as does the reliable James Cromwell, not to mention James Woods and Madeline Stowe. This is probably my third time viewing, first in a long while, but still found it engaging as well as really sad. 3.75/5
