Shattered

The beginning -- gives you just a glimpse of both sides of the husband...just enough to make you guess why someone would want to make his life a living hell, but not enough for you to know for sure. That's what makes for a suspenseful movie.

The middle -- lots of action to keep you entertained. The kidnapper seems hell bent on destroying this man's life, but you are only teased as to his motives. You also get a closer look at both sides of the husband: the protector and the destroyer.

The end -- didn't see that coming! I did suspect at one part, but dismissed my suspicions (if you saw the movie, you'd know why). I'm usually good at seeing the ending of a movie a mile away, so when a movie suprises me like that, I'm delighted and don't feel like I've wasted my time.

All in all, the acting is superb and unlike some thrillers, this one actually makes you think.

Shattered (Butterfly On A Wheel) is the story of Neil and Abby Randall (played by Gerard Butler and Maria Bello) who find there perfect life shattered at the hands of a kidnapper, Tom Ryan (played by Pierce Brosnan). Tom Ryan informs the couple that they have 24 hours to do as he says, or he will kill the Randall's daughter. It is here that this thriller gets moving.

Overall, Shattered isn't a bad thriller. The story is a good one, and the acting is very good. But what ultimately shatters Shattered is the poor script. The dialog between characters is poorly crafter, leaving this strong pool of actors with very little to work with other than cliches.

Also, you find yourself saying (over and over again): "she should have...", "why didn't he...", and "I can't believe they didn't do so and so, I would have...". The story isn't believable because the protagonists don't do what you and I would do in a similiar situation.

This movie has lots of twist in it. It blew me away by far. Surprise the hell out of me. First you thought it was a kidnapping. But it was more than that. Great movie!!
