Shattered

I feel bad for Malkovich and Grillo having to have this mess on their resume, they both deserve much better. The only other convincing performances was from the lovely Sasha Luss and Ash Santos. Experienced actor Cameron Monaghan seemed bored and barely awake, yet newb actress Lilly Krug performed her heart out as Sky, but was just too much, and came across borderline annoying.

Directing by Luis Prieto was decent although bland, and the cinematography and score were on point. But David Loughery's screenplay was unremarkable and predictable, and had every cliche for this genre. At least the pacing was decent, that the 92 min runtime got to the ending quick enough.

It's an ok one-time watch, even if just to see Malkovich and Grillo having a great time, and/or Lilly Krug, putting some sweet lingerie to good use. It's a generous 6/10 from me.

Is John Malkovich OK? Seriously - he's very out of place in this ill-conceived idea of a "thriller".

An amalgam of ideas from past classics stitched together for a freshman writing class. Embarrassing acting performances, especially the female lead - to the point where you question if the writer, director and actors were trying to make something purposefully bad as some sort of a statement? I don't understand either.

Dear Mr. Malkovich - blink twice if you are in trouble.

This is a copy and paste of a couple other movies I've seen. If I'm not mistaken Keanu Reeves was in 1 similar. Hot chic shows up and screws up guy. Some end differently but this 1 had a spot I kinda didn't see coming at the end.

This is good for what it is. This is a low budget thriller that is somewhat predictable. A rich Tech millionaire goes through divorce and decides to take a walk on the wild side that turns brutal and ugly. The acting is less than average, even by John Malkovich. The script is ok. The second half much better and less predictable than the first. Frank Grillo a great addition to any movie no matter how bad, or how small his part is. The film is extremely violent, which works in this one. I saw it on a plane so I suspect the extra nudity and sex were edited out. A fun, thrilling was to pay 90 minutes.

There is absolutely no thinking required with this movie. It is entirely predictable from first five minutes in. There are absolutely no plot twists or any excitement whatsoever.

Note to myself: If I can afford a very, very rich house, invest in a guest house, and only let any strangers stay in the guest house.

Like someone else said, if a stranger girl lets you sleep with her within 30 minutes, something is wrong here.
