AaronCapenBanner Wolfgang Petersen directed this mystery thriller that stars Tom Berenger as Dan Merrick, who has survived a horrible car crash that has left him with amnesia. His wife Judith(played by Greta Scacchi) tries to help him remember, and he eventually goes to pet shop owner and private detective Gus Klein(played by Bob Hoskins) to help him investigate the circumstances that led up to the crash, as Gus had done some previous work for him. What Gus does uncover will indeed have shattering consequences and revelations for all... Marginal film has a good cast and director but the story, while intriguing, ultimately comes off as too far-fetched. Still, not a bad effort at all.

sankhan99 Rating is always been debatable starting from censor certificate to IMDb. In my opinion this title in review is highly under-rated. This is completely an edge of seat suspense thriller. Story is full of twists and very entertaining. I am in no position to discuss direction as director is considered authority in his field.Many people will criticize that story in unrealistic and this thing is not possible in real world then I say to them if you want reality look around you. If you want some thing beyond reality then go to cinema.Few words on film, Its highly entertaining. Every scene and every dialogue matters. It will keep you guessing and its my challenge that how intelligent you are or you have read and seen many mystery thriller, still you won't be able to guess the end correctly. If you don't believe me, then try it yourself. You will not be disappointed.I've given it 8 because of God father otherwise only for mystery genre this movie deserves 9.5

poj-man Shattered is the kind of film that is implausible but entertaining if you don't expect cinematic art. It is certainly no more or less plausible than many Hitchcockian conceits. I mean...sure...the idea of the car being driven through the hairpin curve guardrail giving us a protagonist with complete amnesia rebuilding his life of wealth and women is implausible but...c'mon...Jimmy Stewart having Vertigo and winding up in the same situation isn't on a par? The dialogue is way better than most films. I can't speak about the male leads as I am hetero but the women are worth the ride.Bob Hoskins is entertaining but he is more of a side character who facilitates a story about deceitful characters re-emerging after a life changing event. Just who do you trust?

Elswet Wolfgang Petersen (Poseidon & the Neverending Story)'s Neo Noir starring Tom Berenger, Bob Hoskins, and Greta Scacchi about a West Coast developer who has amnesia after a car accident and begins to suspect his wife of treachery.This begins in a pretty mundane way. It runs like any one of thousands of films of the early 1990's, and there doesn't appear to be anything special about it until you get a little bit of the way into it. Roughly one third through, you begin to see the subtle idiosyncrasies of this work, and soon, you are wholly absorbed.This features some great intrigues, a nice well paced plot, and a really twisty ending. Dialog delivery isn't as bad as you might expect, and the story itself steals the show. Camera angles are a bit odd at times, but nothing like some of those 1970's flicks! All in all, though it was done as recently as 1991, it is horribly dated but I was still completely entertained by this film, and while it's not Friday-Saturday night quality, it makes for a great Saturday or Sunday afternoon diversion.It rates a 7.6/10 from...the Fiend :.
