John Travolta is Frank, the divorced father of Danny. Teri Polo is Danny's mom and she's about to get married to Rick, played by Vince Vaughn. Danny is upset mom is getting married and doesn't like Rick, a man with a dark and mysterious pass. When Danny witnesses Rick murdering someone, things get MESSY. This is straight paint-by-numbers thriller of the week stuff. The cast is solid and they're all fine in their roles but not really given much to work with. Like so many other thrillers, we're asked to ignore stuff that makes no sense - like Danny being mad his mom is getting married although his dad already lives with someone else or Rick killing a guy in his car but magically leaving behind no blood after a quick wipedown. In the end, this is your average movie aspiring to be average and succeeding. 5/10.
