- Story Text: John Travolta joined his co-stars Vince Vaughn and Teri Polo and their director Harold Becker on Tuesday, October 30 in Los Angeles for the World Premiere of their new thriller "Domestic Disturbance."
Fresh from his portrayal of a diabolical villain in this summer's thriller "Swordfish," John Travolta is back playing a likable good guy again in his newest film "Domestic Disturbance." He plays Frank Morrison, a divorced boat builder who lives along the Maryland coast and maintains a close relationship with his only son Danny, played by Matt O'Leary.
His life gets complicated, however when his ex-wife Susan, played by "Meet the Parents" co-star Teri Polo, falls in love and decides to get married again, this time a wealthy and successful businessman named Rick Barnes, who has just moved into town and won the respect of its residents.
"Swingers"
co-star Vince Vaughn takes on the role of Barnes.
Naturally, Danny is uncomfortable with the idea of having a new father and possible a younger sibling on the way, but his father Frank tries to help him adjust to the new life.
But his efforts are destroyed when Danny swears he has witnessed Rick committing a murder. Soon, Frank has to decide who to believe, his wife and her new husband, or his only son, who's had problems with lying and causing trouble in the past.
As directed by "Sea of Love" and "Malice" filmmaker Harold Becker, "Domestic Disturbance" is a standard-issue edge-of-your seat thriller that would feel as much at home on cable television as on the big screen. It's a tried and true recipe: take a seemingly innocuous and innocent situation like the arrival of a new step-parent, then add an extraordinary circumstance and rachet up the paranoia factor.
Also in the cast is Steve Buscemi, who plays Ray Coleman, Rick Barnes' shady former colleague whose arrival in town sets in motion the script's developments.
"Domestic Disturbance" opens in theaters throughout the United States on Friday, November 2. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
