Plot
A rich divorcee Chris falls in love with a mysterious woman Sky where Chris, ex-wife and his child eventually gets trapped and a desperate fight for survival will most likely ensue.
Cast
Cameron "Gotham" Monaghan, John Malkovich and Frank Grillo.
Verdict
A movie night flick that was picked practically at random otherwise I may never have gotten round to this, in fact I'd never even heard of it.
So let's put it out there, this is not original stuff not even close. You'll predict everything from the outset and it throws you absolutely no surprises at all. Now we've got that damning factor out the way let me say that the journey itself isn't handled that poorly, it's just ruined by the predictability. The cast however are a very inconsistent mix, Grillo is basically Grillo the very same character he plays in everything. Monaghan comes across like he's not trying, Malkovich just has fun with it as if he's not even trying! But Lilly Krug, now she puts in a remarkably performance here and quite frankly steals the whole movie.
Shattered isn't bad, it's just not good either.
Rants
With fantasy, scifi and horror movies you have to suspend a lot of disbelief but with thrillers you shouldn't need to. Our lead must be horrifyingly stupid to fall for what happens, and that in itself is not believable and kills much of the movie for me. Why would you set yourself up for such a fall?
Breakdown
Lilly Krug is excellent Has its moments Stupidly predictable Grillo is just, Grillo.
