A Violent(?) Vince Vaughn

Domestic Disturbance.

Every now and again my comedic love, Vince Vaughn, does a more serious role. Whether as Norman Bates in the so-so Psycho remake or his fabulous turn in Into the Wild. Then sometimes those serious turns are kind of mediocre.
Now I don't think its totally the fault of the actors here I mean you have John Travolta, Teri Polo and the ever delightful Steve Buchemi so I think it was more the oddly paced and uneven storyline. It was slow slow slow starting out. Which I think did help you build suspense but when the AH-Ha moments came for each character about the true nature of the step-dad it was kind of blah. It was a decent attempt but there wasn't any interesting moments. Maybe if Rick had actually like hit the kid or the whole evil background was revealed would have been more suspenseful.
Plus the ending was L-A-M-E.

Eh. If you want to or you are a super fan of VV like me and wanted to see ALL of his movies then go for it but if not then feeeeel freeee to skip right over it.
