-John
Travolta
-Vince
Vaughn
John
Travolta
is a
simple
guy
named
Frank,
a
recovering
alcoholic
struggling
to
maintain
the
family
shipbuilding
business
his
great
grandfather
started.
Now
that
his
ex-wife
Susan
(Teri
Polo)
divorced
him,
his
son
Danny
(Matt
O'Leary)
is
constantly
at
the
police
station
for
one
problem
or
another.
So
when
Susan
marries
charming
Rick
(Vince
Vaughn),
Frank
thinks
he
will
provide
the
financial
stability
that
Danny
needs
to
clean
up
his
act.
Then,
a
mysterious
Ray
(Steve
Buscemi)
rolls
into
town
and
claims
to
be
an
old
friend
of
Rick's.
But
Rick
tells
a
different
story,
making
Frank
wary
of
them
both.
When
Ray
suddenly
disappears,
Danny
claims
that
he
witnessed
Rick
murder
him.
Susan
thinks
it's
just
another
one
of
Danny's
lies,
but
Frank
isn't
so
sure.
He
investigates
Rick's
background
and
finds
that
Rick
isn't
at
all
what
he
appears
to
be.
Director
Harold
Becker
(SEA
OF
LOVE)
delivers
thrills
and
melodrama
and
the
film
is
like
a
dreaming
dog--quietly
still,
punctured
by
jolts
of
movement.
Vaughn
is
subtly
menacing
and
Travolta
is
as
affable
as a
retriever,
but
it's
Buscemi
who
really
lights
up
the
screen
with
a
sleazy
wariness
that
is
hilarious.
