Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Tom Berenger stars as an amnesiac who investigates his life before a car wreck took his memory, and finds that things were not all they should have been. The promising mystery gets less interesting as the script becomes more perfunctorily complicated, and a crucial plot twist toward the end throws the story onto a different track rather than letting the existing one grow richer through better characters. People don't count as much as surprises do in this film, so in that sense Shattered is a passable potboiler, no more and no less. Wolfgang Petersen (In the Line of Fire) capably directs, but even he can't work depth into the margins. Solid supporting performances from Greta Scacchi, Bob Hoskins, and Joanne Whalley-Kilmer. --Tom Keogh

The first half of this movie was pretty good with a lot of edge-of-your-seat suspense that kept me ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A revelation that was consistent with the clues but completely unexpected
Rich San Francisco architect Dan Merrick and his wife Judith are in a terrible auto accident. While Judith is thrown clear and relatively unscathed, Dan rides the car down to the bottom of the cliff and is very lucky to be alive. His face is severely damaged and he is in a deep coma. When Dan recovers consciousness, he suffers from severe amnesia about his identity and undergoes repeated plastic surgery on his face. This surgery is successful and he recovers with few physical scars. All through Dan's ... Read More
