April 23, 2012Quite dull for a thriller and lacking in storyline. I would be seriously annoyed if I paid money to see this at the cinema instead of watching it on tv.
Looks cheaply made like a tv movie, except I have seen more entertaining tv movies. Why Vince Vaugh's character is a psycho is... read more -

October 29, 2009Surprisingly good, a little predictable in places but a pretty good Thriller.

September 20, 2008fb619846742An "ok" thriller. Its familiar in a lot of ways, but the casting is excellent.

It's big and dumb, all right -- the sort of thing you'd like to shoot with an elephant gun to put out of its misery. Full Review

Does a masterful job of building menace until about halfway through.

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
The most surprising thing about the movie is that somebody bothered to make it.

Mike Clark, USA Today
With domestic disturbances, someone calls the cops. With this DOA, someone had better call the coroner. Full Review

The way Domestic Disturbance plays now, it's as if its first half-hour is missing. Full Review

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
A refreshingly unpretentious little thriller.

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Since it purports to be a thriller, well, let's just say the edge of your seat doesn't exactly get a workout. Full Review
