First of all let me say that this film blows away Con Air, the director's first film, by a wide margin. It's obvious that Simon West can shoot an action picture well, he just doesn't seem to find very good stories. The General's Daughter starts strong and gets very limp toward the end. This is one of those film's where you know that someone of star status is involved because the casting is full of known faces. Travolta seems wooden in this film. I did like Clarence Williams and Madeline Stowe's performances however and the lighting for the film was nice to view. The film looks sharp but just isn't strong enough to hold together.
