Summary: 4 Stars
SHATTERED is Wolfgang Petersen doing Brian DePalma doing Alfred Hitchcock and as a mystery/thriller, it has some intriguing moments. Tom Berenger stars as David Merrick, a wealthy businessman who is in a horrible car crash, needs plastic surgery and has amnesia to boot. Greta Scacchi is his devoted wife who tries to nurse him back to health and help him remember his past. Bob Hoskins shines as a pet store owner/private investigator who also tries to piece the puzzle together. All is not as it seems though; is Scacchi trying to kill her husband? Is she having an affair with a handsome stranger? Is Corbin Bernsen wearing a toupee?
The movie keeps your interest and although the twist at the end is fairly obvious, it does keep you guessing.
Movie Review: Shattered Mind
Summary: 4 Stars
Great Wolfgang Petersen mystery! When Tom Berenger awakes from a bad car accident he finds he can not remember much. He begins to see flashbacks and his conversations with others help him to realize who he really was and who was murdered. This is one of the better movies I have seen Berenger in and I enjoyed it. Good supporting cast, music, and sets. Well worth owning on DVD. If you like this be sure to catch Tom in "Shoot To Kill" which will also be out on DVD soon and in "Sniper".Movie Review: Who done what?
Summary: 3 Stars
It's a foggy New Year's Eve and Dan Merrick (Tom Berenger) and his wife Judith (Greta Scacchi) have had too much to drink; without warning their car flies off a cliff. Judith escapes without injuries but Dan's body is mutilated, his face is destroyed, and he's in a coma. When he comes out of it, he has amnesia, but slowly regains his life with the help of his loving (too loving?) wife.
The first half of this movie was pretty good with a lot of edge-of-your-seat suspense that kept me wondering what would happen next; the last half, however, was just dopey - completely lacking in plot and thrills and really amateurish. Berenger and Scacchi weren't believable or compelling at all; if only their characters had been played by Richard Gere and Diane Lane - now THERE would be a really good movie. Bob Hoskins plays a comic-relief private investigator and he's fun to watch, unfortunately the script lets him down at the end and things get ridiculous.
The film has a moody film noir-look to it and the locations around San Francisco are effective, but writer/director Wolfgang Petersen has done better work in the past (Das Boot, The Perfect Storm). This miscast and ill-conceived story is just disappointing. 2.5 stars.
