Domestic Disturbance is a 2001 American psychological thriller film directed by Harold Becker, starring John Travolta, Vince Vaughn, Steve Buscemi, Teri Polo and Matt O'Leary.Frank and Susan Morrison (Travolta and Polo, respectively) have recently divorced, and Susan has started a new life marrying the richer and younger Rick Barnes (Vaughn). While Frank and Susan seem to have graciously accepted this new course of their lives, their 12-year-old son Danny (O'Leary) is more problematic: he often gets in trouble and lie—all of this to catch their attention, according to the school psychologist. Moreover, he doesn't like his mother's new husband and one day, completely by chance, he witnesses him doing something... | |

| Domestic Disturbance / int_14e41a53 | comment |
A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: On the surface, Rick is a kind, generous man who made some good business investments and just wants to settle down and have a family in a small town. He's actually a criminal who made his fortune via embezzlement and isn't afraid to murder former associates to cover it up. | |

Playing Catch with the Old Man | |
| Domestic Disturbance / int_15214aec | comment |
Playing Catch with the Old Man: Danny and Rick play catch. It quickly turns abusive, though, as Rick just uses it as an opportunity to demean and insult Danny in private, so nobody will believe him. | |

Beneath the Mask | |
| Domestic Disturbance / int_4fbc0887 | comment |
Beneath the Mask: Rick treats Danny well at first, but he reveals that he actually hates him and only tolerates Danny so he can marry his mother. There's also the whole issue of him being a criminal and murderer, of course. | |

| Domestic Disturbance / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: The police actively seek a reason to not have to do their job and investigate Danny's accusations, wanting to just chalk it up to a jealous child trying to get his stepdad in trouble. | |

Crying Wolf | |
| Domestic Disturbance / int_78d0ebcf | comment |
Crying Wolf: Danny is a compulsive liar who makes up things for attention. He's so well known for lying to everyone that literally nobody believes him when reporting Ray's murder. | |

Villain with Good Publicity | |
| Domestic Disturbance / int_87bb6874 | comment |
Villain with Good Publicity: Putting aside Danny's routine for lying, the other half of why nobody believes him is because Rick has garnered an extremely high social standing in town for the past few years. While it's never revealed what he's been doing since settling down to get to the top, it all started under false pretenses. | |
