"The General's Daughter" definitely has potential to be an interesting thriller. However, somewhere in the plot this potential is lost. The film is not bad, but it's certainly not very good either. My main objection is that I'm tired of this "Darn, I have to work with my ex-girlfriend" theme that you can see in so many films. Madeleine Stowe wasn't very good either -- although she wasn't bad. What I am trying to say is that this is such a typical thriller and it is so average. It was pretty entertaining for a while, but the film doesn't leave an impression at all. Very average. (5/10)
