Fall Movie Guide-Domestic Disturbance

The Players: John Travolta, Vince Vaughn, Teri Polo, Steve Buscemi, Matthew O’Leary; directed by Harold Becker

The Skinny: O’Leary plays an 11-year-old kid who discovers his new stepfather (Vaughn) is a psychopath after seeing him commit a horrible crime. No one believes the boy except his real father (Travolta), a down-on-his-luck boat builder, who tries everything to get his son and ex-wife out of danger before it’s too late.

The Bottom Line: This movie certainly won’t win the feel-good movie of the year award, that’s for sure. Let’s hope Vaughn fares better as a bad guy this time than he did playing that other Psycho. And let’s hope Travolta is over his Battlefield Earth/Swordfish period.
