Domestic disturbance 2001 download torrent






















John Travolta plays a nice guy better than just about anybody else, which is why it's hard to figure out why his seemingly intelligent wife would divorce him, in "Domestic Disturbance," to marry Vince Vaughn , who plays a creep better than just about anybody else.

Maybe that's because it's not until the wedding day that her new husband's best friend turns up, and it's Steve Buscemi , who plays the creep's best friend absolutely better than anybody else. All of this is a setup for a child-in-terror movie, in which a child is the eyewitness to a brutal murder and the incineration of the body.

Then the kid sees his father hammered to within an inch of his life, his mother beaten until she has a miscarriage, and himself as the unwitting cause of an electrocution.

I mention these details as a way of explaining why the flywheels at the MPAA ratings board gave the movie a PG rating. Certainly it doesn't deserve an R, like " Amelie " or " Waking Life. I say this because I know what Becker is capable of. If this is the best screenplay he could find to work on, and it probably was, all I can do is quote Norman Jewison at this year's Toronto Film Festival: "You wouldn't believe the the studios want you to make these days. Travolta plays Frank Morrison, a boat builder and all-around nice guy--so nice he's even optimistic about the approaching marriage of his ex-wife Susan Teri Polo.

Frank's son Danny Matthew O'Leary is a little dubious about this new guy, so Frank even takes the three of them on a fishing trip together. But Danny is still upset, and has a habit of lying, running away, and not turning up for basketball games.

The fiance is Rick Barnes Vaughn , new in town, who has made a lot of money and is about to be honored by the Chamber of Commerce. But when his old buddy Ray Buscemi turns up uninvited at the wedding, Rick's eyes narrow and his pulse quickens and it is only a matter of time until the domestic drama turns into a domestic monster movie. You know it's a bad sign when you're Frank, the understanding ex-husband, standing around at the reception, and Ray tells you your ex-wife "must know some pretty good tricks to make old Rick settle down.

Then there's a scene that flies in the face of all logic, in the way the child is made to be an eyewitness to murder. The physical details are so unlikely they seem contrived even in a thriller. All leads up to a final confrontation so badly choreographed that I was not the least bit surprised when the studio called to say the Chicago critics had seen "the wrong last reel," and would we like to see the correct reel on Monday?

I agreed eagerly, expecting revised footage--but, no, the only problem was, the earlier reel was lacking the final music mix. Music is the last thing wrong with that reel.

Apparently the filmmakers saw no problem with the way a key character enters on cue, at a dead run, without any way of knowing from outside where to run to, or why. Rebecca Tilney Laurie as Laurie. Debra Mooney Theresa as Theresa. Leland L. Jones Coach Mark as Coach Mark. David Bridgewater Priest as Priest. Harold Becker. Lewis Colick story screenplay William S. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. Susan Morrison is getting married to wealthy industrialist Rick Barnes.

Danny, her teenage son with ex-husband Frank, isn't happy about this; he stows away in Rick's car one night, planning to go to Frank's house. But while there, he witnesses Rick murdering mysterious stranger Ray Coleman. Problem is, Rick's managed to dispose of most of the evidence, and he's considered a pillar of the community, while Danny has a history of lying. Frank believes him, though, and does some investigating of his own, as Rick's shady past slowly catches up to him and his new family.

He will do anything to protect his family. Rated PG for violence, brief sexuality and language. Did you know Edit.

Quotes Frank Morrison : [To Rick] You touch a little as a hair on my son's head, and I swear, as God as my witness, that'll be the last thing you'll ever do in this world.

Top review. Predictable but well-made thriller. Predictable you know exactly what the last scene will be like right from the start , contrived the police really should have looked harder for evidence , but well-made, extremely well-acted especially by Vince Vaughn and psychologically accurate the "baseball practice" scene was perfectly written and played. Might have been better if it had kept us in doubt a little longer about whether the kid is telling the truth or not.

Still, the running time of the movie flies by, and that has to count for something, right? Some have complained about it being "too short", but surely this is preferable to the opposite, "too long". Details Edit. Release date November 2, United States.

United States. Enemigo en casa. Box office Edit.
