The General's Daughter

(1999)

Simon West abandons all pretense of originality in this bloated mystery where John Travolta plays a hardboiled military investigator assigned to solve the murder of title daughter (Leslie Stefanson) on a steamy Georgia Army base. Travolta's list of suspects includes the general's ruthlessly loyal adjutant (Clarence Williams III) and the eager-beaver provost marshal (Timothy Hutton), but the biggest mystery here is why this film got made.
