Shattered (1991)
6/10
Dated but fun

SHATTERED is a solid enough psychological thriller from the early 1990s, directed by Wolfgang Petersen, who adds in a few watery and shipwreck scenes for effect (only natural from the guy who brought us DAS BOOT). Greta Scacchi turns up in another femme fatale role after PRESUMED INNOCENT while Tom Berenger is the main star, playing a guy who survives a car wreck only to suffer amnesia as a result. My main disappointment lies with the simplicity of the story; I'd seen this kind of thing before so I guessed the final twist right away and then it was just a case of waiting to be proved right. The film's stylistics have dated somewhat but Bob Hoskins is a winner in support and it's worth one watch at the very least.
