SeamusMacDuff I found this very suspenseful, even as others said though it not giving you a moment to think about - just like it did to the protagonists. "What will happen next?" became "When will this end?" Spoiler: What happens after the end? Guy has been kidnapped, robbed, and more by his wife. Press charges?

Ebad Ghavami one the few works of William Morrissey as both writer and producer, indeed director were under impacts of his believes and opinions, the story line go smooth up and then flush at the end, the story of crime that finished by betrayed story of a couple. Actually the main kidnapping story was a side fake story that deceive you till end, means all long the film 80%, you see non sense matter , no output , no outcomes, ... of a fake kidnapping, and 5 minute at the end you will face to main subject, I think one of the worst method way of writing a novel or screen play. the acts were good especially Pierce Brosnan as always, the camera and shots were normal and flying shots not so bad.

NateWatchesCoolMovies Butterfly On A Wheel, or Shattered, as it was dumbly renamed upon release, is a 90's inspired mystery thriller in the vein of stuff like Nick Of Time and Phonebooth. It has such a timeless, goosebumps inducing sense of fun as it strings us along from one tense hostage situation to the next, never becoming too silly or over the top. Gerard Butler plays Neill Randall, an advertisement exec and family man. Him and his wife Abby (Maria Bello) are headed out together in the car, suddenly find themselves held at gunpoint by the mysterious Tom Ryan (Pierce Brosnan), who was hiding in their backseat. He informs them that he has kidnapped their daughter, and starts to make increasingly ridiculous and seemingly arbitrary demands of them, leading them on a bizarre spree of wanton self destructiveness across Toronto. For much of the film we have no idea who Ryan is or why he's tormenting them, but when the incredibly rewarding reveal happens, it adds so much to Brosnan's already fantastic performance. He's an actor who's really been making bold choices in the last ten years and showing talent I never thought him capable of. Here he's a dangerous lunatic, who gradually shows a layer of pain underneath that's spurred him on in his quest. Butler and Bello are great as well, frantic and frenzied as the couple stuck in this night,are, and Callum Keith Rennie has a nice cameo as a confused detective. This is just a solid, well orchestrated thriller with a sense of grandiose purpose aided by the crisp cinematography and intense score, wrapped in a nice genre package, and above all, some truly surprising plot twists.

razor-240-149228 I don't know how to say this, but this movie was rubbish.Fine actors or so I thought, but the script was just really, really bad. This must be one of the worst movies I have ever watched.The plot has way too many holes in it to actually engage you.Story is bad, acting is bad (Butler should stick to action), the music was bad and the awful plot was just the cherry on top.I was really aggregated to have watched this movie half way through. Unfortunately the last part only makes things worse.Watch "The next three days" with Russell Crowe to see how it is done right.Please do not watch this movie.
