In fact, the second time that I watched "Shattered," I appreciated it the way some people savor good food. I’ve never had a problem watching a movie that I learn stuff about as I am watching it. The first time that I saw Mike Barker's "Shattered," I watched it with the commentary track playing because I had bought it used at a Movie Gallery sale and I wanted to have some idea about what was happening in case the DVD skipped and I had to wait any length of time before I could replace it. Again, I had a blast watching this tense, white-knuckled suspense thriller. I envy those audiences that did see it in theaters. Since I don't subscribe to the crappy cable where I lived, little did I know that it premiered on TNT. Evidently, the film did not fare well at the box office because it didn’t play in the sticks where I live, Columbus, Mississippi, and it didn’t last long in theaters. I thoroughly enjoyed “Shattered,” but my closest and dearest friends absolutely detested it from start to finish. Other movies, like the Pierce Brosnan & Gerald Butler melodrama “Shattered” (**** out of ****) pose difficulties because you cannot plunge into details without divulging crucial plot points that would ruin the film's mystery and suspense for folks who want to see it. Some movies are easy to criticize in a review, pointing out the positive and the negative while applauding or panning those involved.
