Trivia:
John Cusack was, at one time, the lead candidate for Paul Brenner. But it was agreed that he was too young for the role. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: The 21 gun salute as the casket is loaded onto the C-123 Provider, would have never taken place at that time or place. The 21 gun salute takes place at the funeral in a cemetery. moreSoundtrack:

Overly talkative and overly complex, "The General's Daughter" just doesn't know when to quit. Still, there's no denying it is a well-made, well-acted effort from director Simon West (Con Air, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider). John Travolta stars as Warrant Officer Paul Brenner, determined to get to the bottom of the murder of a respected base commander's daughter. Of course very little is as it initially seems as Brenner peels back one layer of lies after another -- some surprising, others less so. The final truth is so bizarre and disturbing that even the most experienced viewers won't guess it. More focus and a shorter running time would have helped this one.
