Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGreta Scacchi's breakthrough role in Heat and Dust (1983) earned her a reputation for being relaxed about on-screen nudity. She had stripped down for scenes in Presumed Innocent (1990) and White Mischief (1987), among others, until she reached the edge of her tolerance with this movie. "There I was, in the missionary position," she would later say, "with the fourth famous actor in six months on top of me--Harrison Ford, Vincent D'Onofrio, Jimmy Smits, now Tom Berenger--and I'm thinking, 'I just can't do this anymore'."

Dan Merrick: You know what I like about amnesia?

Featured review
With a maze of plot twists and surprises, "Shattered" is one heck of a guesser.
The plot follows Dan Merrick (Tom Berenger) after a horrifying car accident. He suffers from amnesia, and must piece his life together post-accident. As he learns more and more about his past, his life spins out of control, leaving the most horrifying revelation for the end.
"Shattered" is carefully constructed and directed by Wolfgang Peterson. His cast really brings this one together, with great performances by Berenger and Bob Hoskins. It is simply impossible to guess the events in this film as you are watching it, and it is best to go into it knowing as little as possible.
"Shattered" is an excellent effort and film that has been wrongly ignored over the years since its release. This is a great rental for a cold and rainy Saturday night.
Grade: A
