At least it's not Battlefield: Earth II.

It's dire, unimaginative silliness.

Movies like Domestic Disturbance leave me dispirited. There's nothing likable, exciting, or intriguing about them.

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.

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