Reviews

Critics have had mixed reactions to 'Shattered,' with some acknowledging its gripping premise while others criticize its execution. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a score of 33%, signifying a general disapproval among critics who felt that though the script had potential, it often fell flat. For instance, a review from the New York Times suggested that 'the film offers some twists, but they are not enough to support an entire feature.' On IMDb, it has a rating of 6.5/10, indicating a moderate audience reception. An audience member stated, 'Berenger gives a solid performance, but the screenplay left me wanting more depth.' Metacritic rates the film at 53, suggesting mixed or average reviews. Shattered is noted for its ambition but ultimately some critics argue it relies too heavily on a formulaic approach to the thriller genre, failing to deliver the psychological intensity it promises. While some appreciate the engaging premise and performances—particularly Berenger’s—they feel that the film does not fully deliver on its intrigue by the end.
