3.0 out of 5 stars A strained plot but good performances, November 25, 1999
By Edward Nickerson (Wurzburg, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The General's Daughter (DVD)
Not a great movie, but still entertaining. I especially enjoyed the characters and performances of Travolta and James Woods. The nudity and S&M in the film is disturbing, as it was probably intended to be, but its so in-your-face that it threw me off from fully immersing in the experience, making me feel like I'd stepped into the wrong movie. Stowe was underused, her role as a romantic foil for Travolta forced. You have a pretty good idea who the bad guys are going to be by the middle of the movie, if not earlier, but there's still enough doubts and twists to keep you second guessing till near the end. I didn't like the same old portrayal of the military. From this film you'd think most of the officers are sexual or moral deviants without integrity or honor. But I guess it wouldn't have been much of a who-done-it if you can't suspect everyone. Watch the film, but don't let your expectations get too high.

5.0 out of 5 stars This movie provokes the view, September 28, 2002
This review is from: The General's Daughter (DVD)
When you see such a polarisation of opinions on a book or a film, you actually see a good work because it is making people think. This movie does that and yes, provokes violent extremes in how people perceive it.

Yeah, John's accent [stinks] big time, but he gives one of the best performances of his career. Stowe is always beautiful to watch, an elegant actress that be oh so feminine and yet have a strong will and a mind of her own. She shines in a role that often gives her little to work with speaking of her radiant talent. Timothy Hutton is as always, a superb actor (Tim your Daddy would be very proud of you!!) James Woods - what can you say - you love him or you hate him, but he is one of the best around and he gives a moving performance and the person with the secrets Travolta needs. James Cromwell is finally getting the recognition and the roles he deserves and does his very best in another unlikeable role, bringing it little nuances of a man caught between loving his daughter and the higher calling of military honour.

This movie does not show the military and its treatment of its female members in a good light bringing back many such stories we have seen through the years on evening news, maybe with such graphically grim - almost claustrophobic feel that it will cause some people to dislike the film for that alone, especially in today's climate of the world.

But is a gripping, on the edge film, that does not take the easy road, but delivers a powerful punch...maybe too powerful for some.

5.0 out of 5 stars Disagree!, February 16, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The General's Daughter (VHS Tape)
I have to disagree with some of the reviewer's that left their message. One writes that Cap. Elizabeth Campbell shouldn't have been so perky and happy because she was raped 7 years earlier and that she slept with half the camp.... I must disagree on that because the mind can really play tricks on you and having gone through such an expierience, you tend to put it in the back of your mind and pretend that nothing happened. Since she tried to please her father, she did a good job on that, but her concious didn't let her, so she acted out the way she did. I don't think she was happy or perky when she helped John Travolta with his tire, that was a way to lure him in and do what ever she wanted to do with him. It's clear to see on those video's that she prefered the kinky side and needed that controll. Maybe watch the movie again and observe. I thought it to be an excellent movie.

The movie is too short and I think they could have done a better movie from this novel.
