Reviews for The General's Daughter
Top CriticThis salacious whodunit requires very little action, but an endless parade of dialogue scenes in which assorted suspects tell the investigating duo what happened, cueing thunderous flashbacks.

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

Top CriticDo the filmmakers think we're morons? We're certainly treated as such, right from the beginning.

Compelling viewing because of the tight-lipped, bull-headed performance by John Travolta in a starring role.
03/09/04
Effective enough as a thriller and an indictment of sexism in its most brutal form.

an absurd, frequently offensive exploitation piece that's likely to take a place on many Ten Worst of 1999 lists.

No doubt about it, to divulge the plot would spoil the experience -- you'll be shocked to discover, and maybe even surprised to learn, just how lame the damn thing really is.

Travolta is trying a little too hard here, and it shows.
02/08/03
This may be the most gratuitous film I've seen this year.
12/08/02
In terms of tone, the film is all over the map.
11/06/02
