Although it's formulaic to the hilt, Domestic Disturbance ratchets up the tension like a fine whine.

When a disturbance is dramatized well, there's no place like home.

Top CriticThe end result is still probably good enough to satisfy audiences in need of a decent distraction on the home front.

There are thrills and shocks to be had here.

Top CriticSeems to have gone through an extensive editing process on its way to the big screen.
11/01/01
What you see is what you get, and what you get is a well-acted, exciting suspense thriller that ties the knot -- er, noose, slowly until its choke-hold climax.
