Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

powermandan I first saw this movie when I was 6. It was one of the first all-out serious adult thriller films I'd seen, so I thought it was the greatest. Fastforward to my adulthood and an ample amount of movie knowledge later, and I see how little credibility and believability this movie has. But the 6-year-old inside of me still enjoys watching this.I believe this movie takes place in Baltimore. It's pretty rainy throughout the film which is a pretty standard tension cliché. We meet boat builder Frank Morrison, played very well by John Travolta. Some say he's cheesy and overacts, but I liked him. His son Danny (Matt O'Leary) constantly gets in trouble in hopes of reuniting his divorced parents. His mother Susan (Teri Polo) is marrying wealthy Rick Barnes who has a sketchy past. Rick Barnes is one of Vince Vaughn's few serious roles that he actually succeeds in. I'm surprised he hasn't done more serious roles. Comedy may be his specialty, but still.Now the acting by all is fine. If anyone doesn't like it, that's fine. I get it. But it is what surrounds the leads that's makes the film lack true emotional intensity.Danny doesn't like his mother getting married, let alone to a guy he hates. Frank tries to help the two bond, but I didn't buy it. It even goes so far as Frank going to the wedding. At the wedding, Rick is surprised to see an old friend named Ray Coleman (Steve Buscemi). Frank sees Rick's surprise and bitter agitation, so he decides to get to know Ray a bit. Frank barely knows Rick, so he worries about his son and ex-wife with a man in business with another none of them know. Rick wants to put his past with Ray behind him. One day, Susan comes home with news that she's pregnant. Danny is upset and hitches a ride to his dad's house. He heard Rick say he was going into town, so Danny hides in the back of his car. Rick picks up Ray and kills him. Danny flees and tells his father and the police. Nobody believes him. This is when the movie really gets unrealistic. Danny sees a man get murdered, so he would realistically be in shock. Next, Danny may have cried wolf before but how would he know about certain things if he wasn't there? Why didn't Danny demand to see any pictures of people Rick knew? Howcome he wasn't so insistent that he demand to stay in police custody? The police in the town are a bunch of Paul Blarts. So Rick puts a massive scares in Danny to silence him.Luckily, the movie does take some steps forward. Frank realizes that his son lies, but has never lied to him. So now we get vintage Travolta hot on the trail of Vince Vaughn, digging deep into his past. The only flaw with his investigation is how certain he is of Ray being such a big piece of the puzzle. Frank never learned anything from Ray and spent a total of just minutes with him. But at least his intuition is sharp. This is the film's mojo and the reason people like it. The truth about Rick eventually comes about in an ending that needed to be wrapped up. Everyone finds out who Rick really is and there's a prolonged awesome showdown. There are flaws and a lack of credibility. But the movie knows just what to do keep the audience enjoyed and entranced.

Shevy1103 Domestic Disturbance starring both John Travolta and Vince Vaughn was a good movie. that is my opening statement. Keep reading for the rest.It was nice. it had many good lines or comments, some were even funny and made me laugh. I laughed several times during this movie. It had great scenery and a great back-story plus a more than adequate script. They could have been a bit more creative instead of basing the movie on classic scenes from so many other movies, but ah well. So, in other words, it was worth watching. I liked it. Others may not have, but I did. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion. Besides, it's like this with all movies and everything else in the world. Some like it and some don't. That is just the way it is in this world of ours.The acting was superb on some parts, others (thinking of Vince Vaughn)not so much. Travolta did a good job as he usually does. Mr. Vaughn had an easy role of which he could have done a much better job with (hell, a blind and deaf chimpanzee without any ability to speak could have done a better job), but all in all he did a good job. His character was convincing. And then there is Buscemi, playing Roy. He never lets me down. He is one of those who never do a bad job, not even a little! He is one of the greatest actors there is! So, obviously he did a great, fantastic, awesome and superb job playing his part as the shady yet nice character Roy Coleman.The start was great, the ending not so much, but nothing is perfect anyways. The movie itself was great with the turning points and the characters and everything. I enjoyed it, I did.This is a thriller, obviously. A thriller movie with a little comedy stuffed in it. It was thrilling at times. They could have made it more thrilling, but they didn't, and there is nothing to do about that. A big part of the movie were clichés. Some fit in and made it better, others did not. There were also parts that everyone could see coming, they were easy to foresee, but that doesn't make it bad, but it takes away a part of the thrill of the movie.So, this movie was enjoyable on a late spring night like this one. And after taking all of the things I said about the movie into consideration, I have decided to give this movie, "Domestic Disturbance", 4 stars out of 10 possible.Rating: 4/10.Thanks for reading, goodnight and sleep tight.J.J.

Tss5078 Ask yourself this, what if you witnessed a crime and no one believed you? Better yet, what if you were a kid when this happened? That is the premise of this modern day thriller, Domestic Disturbance. It isn't the perfect movie, but the story, while predictable, was still so much fun to watch. As for the cast, John Travolta and Vince Vaughn alone should tell you that you're in for something special. I know a lot of people love Vaughn, I don't, but he was great in this film. Matthew O'Leary, a newcomer back then, seemed as thou he's been doing this for years, acting as the perfect go between and playing his role flawlessly. Domestic Disturbance is fun, exciting, and has an unbelievable cast. Besides the predictability, the only other thing I can say negatively about this film was that it wasn't long enough! I really enjoyed it and didn't want it to end.

raisleygordon If you like movies about people who use sincerity to hide a dark side, then "Domestic Disturbance" is for you. But if you're looking for something with a twist on the genre, then you'd better look elsewhere. This movie has absolutely nothing fresh in it, but it makes up for that as pure entertainment. Unlike "The Stepfather", this one has a new character, the ex of the woman whom the stepfather is about to marry. Stop me if you've heard this one: A man's ex-wife marries a very suspicious man, kid starts suspecting something's wrong, kid witnesses his evil stepfather kill someone, everyone (but the uncle) doubts the kid until it's almost too late, evil stepfather tries beating the hell out of everyone, everyone else lives happily ever after.*** out of ****
