When the body of Army Capt. Elisabeth Campbell is found on a Georgia military base, two investigators, Warrant Officers Paul Brenner and Sara Sunhill, are ordered to solve her murder. What they uncover is anything but clear-cut. Unseemly details emerge about Campbell's life, leading to allegations of a possible military coverup of her death and the involvement of her father, Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell.

I’m always a big sucker for dramatic, slo-mo, scenes with booming classical playing over the sound

The James Wood-John Travolta was so good and fun to watch that when that goes away the movie seems to go downhill.
The General really is one of the worst fathers in cinematic history.

The General's Daughter
this movie goes into depth into a really dark topic but it does it in such a unemotional way that it takes the severity out the situation 

this movie was also weirdly paced in the sense that time was passing fast but it was so boring
