Plot: A murder on a military base unearths a netherworld of corruption in this thriller based on the novel by Nelson DeMille. General Joe Campbell (James Cromwell) is a respected military leader with a flawless reputation; he's due to retire from the Army soon and is headed for a Vice-Presidential nomination. However, Campbell finds himself in both a personal and political crisis when his daughter is brutally murdered. Captain Elizabeth Campbell (Leslie Stefanson) was beautiful, intelligent, disciplined, and well-regarded, the very model of an ideal female officer; she was also stationed at the same base as her father. Paul Brenner (John Travolta), a warrant officer of the Army's Criminal Investigation Division, is assigned to look into the case alongside CID officer Sara Sunhill (Madeleine Stowe). Brenner and Sunhill were once romantically involved, complicating an assignment that soon offers more than enough complications of its own. Brenner and Sunhill come to realize that, for all her accomplishments, Elizabeth carried a lifetime of emotional scars from emotional abuse and sexual harassment, and that, despite the General's reputation, his relationship with his daughter was not always a happy or healthy one. It also seems possible that the General's second-in-command, General George Fowler (Clarence Williams III), a likely candidate for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, may also be implicated in the crime. The General's Daughter was the second feature film for director Simon West; his full-length debut was Con Air (1997), after a long string of successful television commercials and music videos. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Great cast here and James Woods plays his usual psycho to a T. Travolta really isn't bad here. I guess it's kind of standard to rip his recent movies, but this one has a decent plot with some cool twists. Based on a true story, but you don't find that out until the end. Pretty kinky stuff here.

It's based on a true story.........

I guess that's not good enough for some people, that this actually happened. I guess some of these people want more blood, guts, and nuclear esxplosions.

The movie is too short and I think they could have done a better movie from this novel.
I suggest reading the book before you see the movie.

Good movie

Additional features of DVD(I bought the movie primarly because of them) are hard to use...
They are very important to understand the social value and meaning of the movie.
Probably Travolta's best role; he isn't much of an actor.

Poor thriller

This film drags and the plot isn't very good. There are some good moments, but for the large part I thought this was very average.
