"This may sound weird... but this one was a favourite of mine when I was a kid. Given its subject matter this one can't help but seem depressingly timely. Thanks to a scenery chewing James Woods, and Madeline Stowe doing something sort of odd with her rape investigator role (whenever she isn’t sidelined during the procedural shenanigans), this remains totally watchable throughout. hahaNel suo intento antimilitarista riesce bene, mentre in quello della disparità sessuale toppa cadendo nella spicciola retorica.I manichini sono perfetti e riescono molto bene a contribuire alla creazione di pathos nelle scene nel campo d'esercitazione. Simon West’s mystery crime film sees John Travolta and Madeline Stowe star as military investigators sent to an army camp where the commandant’s daughter has been murdered. The beginning of the film exonerates John Travolta's Deep-South accent as an ersatz affectation for his undercover investigation.

But in all that quagmire of misogynism and cynicism, I'd have needed a sympathetic character as focal point. There's nothing special about it, but I always thought it was a bit better than every other generic procedural thriller that came out around the time.Directed by a Michael Bay wannabe, or a poor excuse of a Tony Scott fan,Seriously, this film would have been better as a porno. like, who did what now?

Simon West shows that without Jerry Bruckheimer's guidance he is a very mediocre director. absolutely cack-handed and, uh, hugely unsubtley handled with its frankly grim themes, but i still love these 90s paranoia thrillers. Action, psychological, crime, romantic, domestic,… Elizabeth Campbell is found on a Georgia military base, two investigators, Warrant Officers Paul Brenner and Sara Sunhill, are ordered to solve her murder. Adapted from the novel of the same name by Nelson DeMille, which was published seven years earlier, the story concerns the daughter of a powerful base commander who is cruelly killed. The General's Daughter. That's Ed, allow me to suggest that Simon West is probably not the right guy to make a movie about the psychically annihilating fallout of sexual assault and institutionalized misogyny and rape.Simon West has made some really entertaining films over the years.
