Amazon.com:
If you focus on the effective casting of John Travolta and Vince Vaughan, Domestic Disturbance may grab your attention as a thriller that hits too close to home. After playing a greasy villain in Swordfish, Travolta ably serves up the good-guy charm as a divorced father who must rescue his teenage son from a murderous new stepfather, played by Vaughan with bad-tempered relish. Director Harold Becker is worthy of better material (like his earlier hit Sea of Love), but he handles this B-movie potboiler with professional flair, particularly in the setup involving an accomplice (the ever-reliable Steve Buscemi) who threatens to destroy Vaughan's small-town respectability. The plot's about as plausible as Britney Spears in a remake of Sophie's Choice, relying heavily on lame-brained cops and vast chasms in logic, but by the time Travolta and Vaughan engage in their inevitable showdown, even childless viewers may feel a twinge of parental instinct. --Jeff Shannon
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A by the numbers thriller that's way to short
Domestic Disturbance is strictly a by the numbers thriller. Director Harold Becker who made the superior Sea Of Love seems to walk through this film. John Travolta does give a good performance though and Vince Vaughn does ok as the bad guy but I wish he would have been more meancing. After seeing Vaughn in comedy's of late he's pigeonholed in my mind as a comedic actor not a hard a$$.
Rating:  - The police can be sloppy at times
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, the remarrying of the mother and the brilliant newcomer who was accepted at once without any inquiry about who he was in this small community. The conflict between the father and the stepfather with the son in between seems natural and it even makes the police be sloppy about what it is supposed to do. There is of course ... Read More
Rating: - Disturbed!
Although Vince Vaughn is surprisingly believeable as a bad guy, Domestic Disturbance is still a bit predictable. I'm not saying that it's not watchable, I'm just saying you can probably guess the direction of the scenes; thus, my conservative rating.
Rating: - it wasn't terrible, just formulaic
There's nothing that pisses me off more in a movie than when someone fails to put up an adequate argument on their behalf when they're being accused of something.
It's like they either have the character act like a total maniac by flying off the handle when denying what they're being accused of (so obviously the other party will of course not believe them now), or they say the completely wrong things and understate their case, and it is extremely frustrating to watch because you're just ...

Rating: - "Domestic Disturbance" is entertaining with its high-tension suspense and great action
"Domestic Disturbance" is a thriller about a divorced couple and their child. Frank (John Travolta) has to deal with a man marrying his ex-wife Susan. The guy (Vince Vaughn) is well liked by the community, but there are hints of something being amiss with him. Frank's son claims he witnesses his mother's new husband Rick commit murder. The more Frank investigates Rick, the more suspicious he looks. The investigation spurs a game of cat and mouse.
There is great interaction between Travolta ... Read More
