Synopsis

John Travolta is a simple guy named Frank, a recovering alcoholic struggling to maintain the family shipbuilding business his great grandfather started. Now that his ex-wife Susan (Teri Polo) divorced him, his son Danny (Matt O'Leary) is constantly at the police station for one problem or another. So when Susan marries charming Rick (Vince Vaughn), Frank thinks he will provide the financial stability that Danny needs to clean up his act. Then, a mysterious Ray (Steve Buscemi) rolls into town and claims to be an old friend of Rick's. But Rick tells a different story, making Frank wary of them both. When Ray suddenly disappears, Danny claims that he witnessed Rick murder him. Susan thinks it's just another one of Danny's lies, but Frank isn't so sure. He investigates Rick's background and finds that Rick isn't at all what he appears to be. Director Harold Becker (SEA OF LOVE) delivers thrills and melodrama and the film is like a dreaming dog--quietly still, punctured by jolts of movement. Vaughn is subtly menacing and Travolta is as affable as a retriever, but it's Buscemi who really lights up the screen with a sleazy wariness that is hilarious.

3.0 out of 5 stars Domestic Disturbance, 24 Nov 2005
By Rich Milligan (Thatcham, Berkshire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
“Domestic Disturbance” is your standard thriller fare and due to one extremely unfortunately gaping hole in the plot it fails to deliver the impact that perhaps it should.

Frank Morrison is obviously a great dad, he has a lovely close relationship with his son, Danny and he’s still on good terms with his ex-wife Susan. So quite why she divorced him is a little puzzling to begin with. Anyway Susan is getting remarried to handsome and successful businessman Rick Barnes, who seems to be keen and conscientious in developing his relationship with Danny.
The day of the wedding comes around and when a character from Rick’s past, Ray appears Rick starts to behave in a less friendly way especially towards Danny.

As far as the plot goes it’s here that the huge leap in reality must be taken and as I say it’s so silly that it really spoils the rest of the story. Without giving it away the local police force must really invest in some better forensic equipment!

John Travolta plays Frank in a very nice dependable way and Vince Vaughn is particularly effective as the creepy Rick. Steve Buscemi can play the slightly off the wall wacky character better than anyone and he’s great here, it’s only a shame his character has such short screen time. Mention must be made of Matt O'Leary who as the young Danny puts in a great child performance.

The film is not badly made and it’s a real shame that the so blindingly obvious fault in the plot spoils it all and when alls said and done this is an average example of the thriller genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good entertaining movie, 15 Mar 2006
I have seen this movie 3 times now & really enjoyed watching it every time. It's more of a popcorn movie but who cares. It is very easy to watch and kept me very entertained. My husband really enjoyed it as did my 12 year old son.

3.0 out of 5 stars I expected it to be better., 29 April 2003
By A Customer
I recently rented this DVD from a library, so it only cost me £2.50 and lets just say, I was glad i rented it and didnt buy it. I had seen the previews for the film and as they do in all previews, they made it look very good and worth watching. However, when i watched it, I noticed that alot of the clips that they showed in the preview, were not in the actual film, it was as if the film makers had gone through and cut bits out to make it shorter. Which they really didnt need to do because once it finished, i found it was an extremely short film anyways!

The overall plot is very good, with the fact that the kid saw his stepdad murder someone, and then set out to prove he was telling the truth, even when his own father didnt believe him. With a plot that strong they could have easily made it a spectacular film, but i just get the feeling that they hurried it all along so that they got to the end as fast as possible.
So overall, a good film, a good watch, but could have been much better if it had a little more time given to it.

The DVD extras arent exactly thrilling either. Aside from the theatrical trailer, a commentary, storyboard and a few lame deleted scenes, there is not much that makes the DVD better than the video.

But overall, the film itself was a fairly enjoyable watch I must say. Just dont buy it is my advice, rent it.

A simple film, a thriller indeed. It works because the simple violence and menace is wrapped up in a complex and yet simple story about a divorced mother, the custody of a child,... Read more
