Chris Ellis, John Travolta, Matthew O'Leary, Steve Buscemi, Teri Polo, Vince Vaughn - Director: Harold Becker Frank Morrison wants what's best for his son. Since he and his wife Susan divorced, their son has been rebellious and troubled, with a history of lying. Frank and Susan have tried to be the best parents possible. Now everything is changing. Susan has found someone new; she's about to become Mrs. Rick Barnes. Barnes is a wealthy philanthropist. Struggling with jealousy, Frank has to admit that this might be just what Danny needs. Danny starts telling Frank troubling stories about Rick Barnes.
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.
Theatrical Release: NOVEMBER 2, 2001
Domestic Disturbance Reviews:
"...[Becker] handles his components like a fine mechanic....Becker even tinkers a humming performance out of John Travolta..."
-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
"...Travolta is at his most natural as the low-key likable hero, while Vaughn is a delight..."
-- Michael Tunison, Box Office
