The General's Daughter

"What's worse than rape?" Watching this movie lol

Everyone lies all the time in order to keep you guessing as to what's going on. Movie could've been over in about 25 minutes if there was at least some mild honesty going on. Sadly everyone is lying for really contrived reasons forcing you to watch the entire film for find out what really happened. Believe me when I tell you that it's not worth it.

Forgettable thriller.

You can predict the ending in the first 15 minutes. Cliche

Well crafted thriller undone by uncomfortably sleazy and grubby elements – there’s a lot of material in here that seems to exist purely to rub the audience’s nose in how “shocking” and “daring” the film-makers are being (imagine PRESUMED INNOCENT without the comparable taste and restraint). It’s a shame because the performances are all fine, with the Woods/Travolta show downs especially well done, and the mystery itself is reasonably well plotted and holds water without springing too many leaks.

DVD-worthy

I found this to be a pretty captivating murder mystery even though I guessed the killer mid way through. Good cast, the ending was a big overlong though.

Facia 1 açılış sahnesiyle açılan film, 1 kadın yüzbaşının vahşi bir şekilde öldürülmesiyle devam ediyor. John Travolta facia. Yönetim facia. Diyaloglar saç yordurur. 1 senaryo ancak bu kadar kötü işlenebilirdi. Filmin ikinci yarısı konunun ciddi olması nedeniyle toparlasa da, filmin sonunda intikam alınmak istenmiş. Çarpık ilişkiler ve tecavüz itiraflarıyla ilerleyen film, 1 yüzleşme ile son buluyor. Generalin kızının suçu ne?

I first saw this movie as a horny teenager, and even then I thought the nudity/rape scenes were gratuitous. Other than that, it was a solid movie.

dark, not for children

Ten points over dead mediocre on account of a wonderful soundtrack and Madeleine Stowe. Travolta is so bad.

Lousy writing, inept direction, and the resulting tone-deaf performances by most of the actors. Travolta actually came off the best... which should tell you a lot.

An interesting premise that raises some really important societal questions, but unfortunately this is all ruined by a really hamfisted script and Travolta's typical over-acting.

This one always surprises me. I've watched it a number of times and it continues to hold my attention better than A Few Good Men.

Contrived performances and over-the-top sequences offer little real drama.

For some reason I kind of liked this. I think because it's so ridiculous yet tries so hard to be real.

#00s(e)#, story, (casting)

Ludicrous plot, and characters who do things that don't make sense. Has John Travolta done one decent movie in the last 15 years?

I LOVE This Soundtrack!

It has some good acting and passes the time, but it is told in a messy way. Full of clichés and characters that we've seen before, but it entertained for the most part. - Okay.

Not exactly a bad movie. It is watchable. But a movie is too common.

veers to close to exploitation to be recommended.

I haven't seen this since..oh, ::looks at release date:: 1999, but I remember liking it for some reason. Don't remember what reason it was, but yea.

I think I recall writing a fanfiction of this movie in high school, except it was 100% smut.

From what I remember, not very good at all.

okay movie

Well, not too thrilling, although servicable. Rarely does the picture approach believable so involvement is minimal, the writting, however, is frequently quite good & even amusing at times.

Tries too hard to have shocking twists and ends up depressing and graphic.

There are tits in this film. Other things happen, but I only remember the boobies.

Fast paced, but silly and cliched

Very good; decent job of bringing the book to the big (and little) screen.

crap

The book was outstanding. The movie was not.

Very forgettable.

Cheese with boobs. Saw it when I was 18. Pre-sex.

Slow moving. Don't feel bad for victim as much as should. Have only seen this movie since its debut.

Travolta did Pulp Fiction. BRAVO!! Then he did this.

Ok, I guess. Lots worse out there.

Inspired or inspired by CSI.

Decent enough film, with jelly roll Travolta perfoming well enough to keep me from falling asleep.

Good suspense, weak history.

Good film.

I don't really remember any specific things about this movie, so the score is mostly a reflection of my opinion of John Travolta (I'm being generous).
